There two different ways that ATP is produced from ADP and Pi
during cellular respiration.
a). Briefly describe the method that is used in
glycolysis and the Krebs cycle.
b). Describe oxidative phosphorylation. Where is oxidative
phosphorylation occur? How does the amount of ATP generated during
this process compare to the amount of ATP generated in glycolysis
and the Krebs cycle?
2). a). In the Krebs cycle, electrons are removed from acetyl
CoA. What happens to these electrons? What happens to the energy in
these electrons?
b). Using the image below, predict what would happen to the
levels of α-Ketogluterate,
citrate, oxaloacetate,
FADH2, and NADH if the
oxidation of α-Ketogluterate to Succinate (the step with the big
red X) was inhibited. Explain your reasoning.
Note: As stated in your tutorial, you do not have to memorize
this figure for your exam.
