Answers Guaranteed Pass| 2025-2026

Cellular Respiration - correct answers C6H1206+6O2=6CO+6H2O



releases energy from glucose and uses that energy to make ATP



Four Stages of Cellular Respiration - correct answers 1. Glycolysis

2. Preparation Reaction

3. Citric Acid Cycle

4. Oxidative Phosphorylation



Glycolysis (Pathway #1) - correct answers occurs in cytoplasm



10 steps in 3 Phases



Glucose and 2ATP are put in



2 pyruvate and 2 NADH and 2 ATP come out



3 Phases of Glycolysis - correct answers 1. Energy Investment: 2 ATP hydrolyzed to create fructose-1,6
diphosphate



2. Cleavage: 6 Carbon molecules broken into two 3-Carbon molecules of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate
(G3P)



3. Energy Liberation: two glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate molecules broken down into two pyruvate
molecules, producing 2 NADH and 4 ATP.

,Breakdown of Pyruvate - correct answers Glucose is split into 2 pyruvate molecules and water



Pyruvate is a 3 carbon molecule



Nets 2 ATP



Produces 2NADH +2H+



Preparation Reaction (Pathway #2) - correct answers Pyruvate transported to the mitochondrial matrix



Broken down by pyruvate dehydrogenase



One molecule of CO2 removed from each pyruvate



Remaining acetyl group attached to CoA to make acetyl CoA



1 NADH2 is made for each pyruvate



Citric Acid Cycle (Pathway #3) - correct answers 2 carbons Acetyl CoA + 4carbon OAA = 6carbon citrate



Two CO2 are released and high-energy electron carriers are produced



OAA is reformed, producing ATP in the process and making more high-energy electron carriers



This process is repeated for the second Acetyl CoA that came from the original glucose



Oxidative Phosphorylation (Pathway #4) - correct answers Oxidation by the Electron Transport Chain

, Phosphorylation by ATP synthase



High energy electrons removed from NADH2 and FADH2 to make ATP



Electron Transport Chain & Final Electron Acceptor - correct answers Electrons from NADH2 and FADH
are passed from one molecule to the next, through a series of redox reactions



Electrons lose energy with each step



The final electron acceptor is oxygen, which then becomes water



At the end, glucose and oxygen have been combined to produce CO2 and H2O



Phosphorylation using ATP Synthase (Chemiosmosis) - correct answers Movement of electrons in the
electron transport chain generates H+ electrochemical gradient



As H+ flows back across the membrane, it flows through ATP synthase



The kinetic energy of this flow is used to make ATP



Fermentation - correct answers When O2 is not available



First step is glycolysis



Then animal cells convert pyruvate to lactate



OR other organisms convert pyruvate to alcohol and CO2



Fermentation regenerates NAD+ which keeps glycolysis going
