Warm up #1


What is oxidative decarboxylation?

·          Biochemical that coverts pyruvate into a two carbon and CoA compound called acetyl-CoA

·         Pyruvate loses a carbon forming Co2

·         Oxidation cause electrons to be transferred from the pyruvate to NAD+ producing NADH

·         And CoA is added

What is substrate-level phosphorylation?

It occurs during glycolysis and the Krebs Cycle
It is the source for the majority of the ATP produced in aerobic respiration
It is the addition of a free phosphate to ADP to form ATP by direct donation.

What are the products of Krebs Cycle?

·         8 NADH

·         2 ATP

·         6 Co2

·         2 FADH2

What are the products of Glycolysis?

·         2 Pyruvate

·         2 Net ATP

·         2 NADH
