During the energy payoff phase of glycolysis, __________.
NADH and ATP are produced
In which process is glucose oxidized to form two molecules of pyruvate?
Glycosis
During aerobic respiration, molecular oxygen (O2) is used for which of the following purposes?
At the end of the electron transport chain to accept electrons and form H2O
Which of the following pairs of pathways and their location in the cell is incorrectly matched?
Citric acid cycle: cytosol
Most of the ATP in cellular respiration is produced by the process of chemiosmosis. How does this process produce ATP?
H+ flows across the inner mitochondrial membrane through the enzyme ATP synthase.
What is the total production of ATP, NADH, and FADH2 in the citric acid cycle from one molecule of glucose?
Two ATP, six NADH, and two FADH2
In the overall process of glycolysis and cellular respiration, __________ is oxidized and __________ is reduced.
glucose; oxygen
Which metabolic pathway is common to both fermentation and cellular respiration of a glucose molecule?
Glycolysis
The function of cellular respiration is to __________.
extract usable energy from glucose
In what molecule(s) is the majority of the chemical energy from pyruvate transferred during the citric acid cycle?
NADH and FADH2
In preparing pyruvate to enter the citric acid cycle, which of the following steps occurs?
Pyruvate is oxidized and decarboxylated, and the removed electrons are used to reduce an NAD+ to an NADH.
The energy from the electrons in NADH and FADH2 fuel what process in the electron transport chain?
The pumping of H+ across the cristae of the mitochondrion
All of the processes involved in cellular respiration produce ATP. Which of the following processes produces the most ATP?
Oxidative phosphorylation
A molecule becomes more oxidized when it __________.
loses an electron
Most of the electrons removed from glucose by cellular respiration are used for which of the following processes?
Reducing NAD+ to NADH in glycolysis and the citric acid cycle AND producing a proton gradient for ATP synthesis in the mitochondria.
