Glycolysis is the first stage of respiration. It occurs in the (1) of cells and is
an anaerobic process. Glycolysis involves the (2) of glucose to glucose
phosphate, using ATP. The oxidation of triose phosphate to (3) results in
the net gain of ATP and reduced (4) .

0 1 . 2 The equation for the aerobic respiration of glucose is:
C6H12O6 + 6 O2 6 CO2 + 6 H2O
Six carbon dioxide molecules are produced from each glucose molecule.
Use your knowledge of the link reaction and Krebs cycle to explain why.

0 1 . 3 An inhibitor of the electron transfer chain was added to aerobically respiring yeast box
cells.
As aerobic respiration was inhibited, the following changes occurred:
• oxygen uptake decreased
• ATP production decreased
• ethanol was produced.
Explain the changes in the yeast cells following the addition of the inhibitor.
