Respiration + Photosynthesis test

What are the Steps of respiration

1. Glycolysis

2. Link Reaction

3. Krebs Cycle

4. Oxidative Phosphorylation

How many ATP molecules are produced in Glycolysis

4

What is glucose broken up into in Glycolysis

2x triose phosphate

How many carbons are in a triose phosphate

3

What is the end product of Glycolysis

Pyruvate (3C)

How much ATP is produced in the link reaction

None

What is the end product of the link reaction

Acetyl Coenzyme A (CoA)

What is lost during the link reaction

one molecule of CO2

How many NAD’s are reduced during the link reaction

1

Where does Glycolysis occur

In the Cytoplasm

Where does the link reaction occur

The Mitochondrial matrix

What is Pyruvate converted to within anaerobic respiration in animals

Lactate

Is anaerobic respiration in animals reversible

yes

What is pyruvate converted to within Anaerobic respiration in plants and fungi

Ethanol

Is anaerobic respiration in plants and fungi reversible

No as CO2 is released
