What is the main purpose of glucose catabolism? - ANSWER: to transfer energy from glucose to ATP
Glycolysis, anaerobic fermentation, and aerobic respiration are the three major pathways for the
catabolism (breakdown) of: - ANSWER: glucose
The addition of an inorganic phosphate (Pi) group to an organic molecule is a process called: -
ANSWER: phosphorylation
Which process yields a net gain of 2 ATP per glucose molecule? - ANSWER: Glycolysis
Unlike aerobic respiration, anaerobic fermentation may occur under which of the following
conditions? - ANSWER: When no oxygen is available
The products of complete glucose catabolism (oxidation) include: - ANSWER: carbon dioxide, water
and ATP
What are the three major pathways by which glucose is catabolized in the human body? - ANSWER:
Glycolysis
Anaerobic fermentation
Aerobic respiration
What occurs in the reaction called phosphorylation? - ANSWER: Addition of inorganic phosphate to an
organic molecule
Anaerobic fermentation results in pyruvic acid being reduced to: - ANSWER: lactic acid
The process of glycolysis results in net gain of how many molecules of ATP? - ANSWER: 2
In the absence of oxygen, small amounts of ATP may be produced via an anaerobic process called: -
ANSWER: fermentation
Lactic acid is converted back to pyruvate in which organ? - ANSWER: liver
In the presence of oxygen, ____________ acid enters the mitochondria and is oxidized by aerobic
respiration. - ANSWER: pyruvic
In anaerobic fermentation, NADH donates a pair of electrons to ______ acid, thus reducing it to
______ acid and regenerating NAD. - ANSWER: pyruvic, lactic
What is the cellular location for the Krebs cycle? - ANSWER: Mitochondria
What is a series of oxidation reduction reactions occurring across the inner membrane of the
mitochondria leading to the production of ATP? - ANSWER: the electron transport chain
What is the electron transport chain? - ANSWER: a series of oxidation reduction reactions occurring
across the inner membrane of the mitochondria leading to the production of ATP
The liver oxidizes lactic acid back to ____________ acid, which can then enter the aerobic pathway
when oxygen becomes available again. - ANSWER: pyruvic
