    Cellular Respiration - The Krebs Cycle

    Uploaded by

    A. Magno
    The document discusses cellular respiration and the Krebs cycle. It begins by explaining that glycolysis is the first step of cellular respiration and that aerobic respiration requires oxygen while anaerobic respiration does not. It then notes that the net result of one glucose molecule going through the Krebs cycle is eight NADH and two FADH2 molecules. Finally, it emphasizes that the Krebs cycle is important because it produces reducing agents for the electron transport chain and occurs in the matrix of the mitochondria.

    CELLULAR RESPIRATION: THE KREBS CYCLE

    Glycolysis is the first step of cellular respiration.

    After glycolysis, the pyruvate molecules can follow two different metabolic routes: aerobic and
    anaerobic respiration. What is the main difference between these?

    a. Aerobic respiration occurs in the presence of oxygen and anaerobic respiration is


    inhibited in its presence.
    b. Anaerobic respiration does not occur in mammalian cells.
    c. They are the same metabolic pathway, occurring in different locations
    d. Anaerobic respiration does not need oxygen to occur and aerobic respiration does.
    Anaerobic respiration can take place in the presence or absence of oxygen. Whereas oxygen is
    essential for aerobic respiration.

    What is the net result of one glucose molecule going through the Krebs Cycle?
    a. Six CO2 molecules
    b. All options
    c. Two ATP Molecules
    d. Eight NADH and two FADH2 Molecules

    Glucose get converted to two pyruvate molecules that each enter the Krebs cyle. So, everything
    you see on the poster is doubled. You will notice that the main products of Krebs cycle are
    electron carriers. Electron carriers participate in redox reactions that you can see displayed on
    the compute screen.
    Why is the Krebs cycle so important if it only produces two ATP molecules?
    a. It uses all the glucose we eat
    b. It produces reducing agents for the electron transport chain
    c. It oxidizes pyruvate and prepares it for the electron transport chain
    d. It produces many CO2 molecules.
    Electron carriers are reducing agents. This means that they donate electrons as seen in the
    computer screen. The krebs cycle produces eight NADH and two FADH2 molecules that are
    reducing agents and bring electrons to the electron transport chain.

    Where exactly in a cell does a Kreb Cycle take place?


    a. Matrix of Mitochondria
    b. Inner membrane of the mitochondria
    c. Golgi apparatus
    d. Cytoplasm
