Basics
Where does the citric acid cycle take place?
Mitochondria
These names are synonymous with the Citric Acid Cycle, and can be used interchangeably
Krebs Cycle and the Tricarboxylic Acid Cycle
Is more NADH or more ATP made with one cycle?
more NADH
This is the final electron acceptor of the electron transport chain.
O2
These are the two high energy molecules that are used by the cells.
ATP and GTP
What is the starting compound in the citric acid cycle?
Acetyl CoA
What subatomic particles fuel the oxidative phosphorylation of the citric acid cycle?
How many molecules of carbon dioxide are produced in the citric acid cycle?
2
This is the location in the cell where the electron transport chain takes place?
inner mitochondrial membrane
In what type of respiration does the citric acid cycle occur?
Aerobic
What is the final product of the citric acid cycle?
Oxaloacetic acid
The movement of these in the CAC is used for energy creation.
H+ ions
What molecule does succinate dehydrogenase make as a byproduct?
FADH2
What is the function of the ADP/ATP antiport?
pumping ATP into the cytoplasm of the cell
This is the three letter start codon for dna translation?
AUG
How many steps are in the citric acid cycle?
8
This is the type of respiration in which the CAC is used?
Aerobic respiration
Aconitase converts citric acid to what intermediate molecule?
isocitrate
This is the energy shuttle that delivers high energy electrons to the electron transport chain where they will eventually power the production of 2-3 ATP molecules.
NADH
What do you do with a dead chemist?
Barium
What is the goal of the citric acid cycle?
Produce energy
This man was the pioneer scientist for the study of cellular respiration
Hans Krebs
What are the exact products in one cycle of the Krebs Cycle?
1 ATP, 3 NADH, and 1FADH2
This is where each of the electron donors from the cytoplasm comes through to the electron transport chain
NADH comes through malate-aspartate shuttle and FADH2 comes through glycerol-3-phosphate shuttle
What are important cofactors such as thiamin, riboflavin, and niacin called?
Vitamins
