Cellular Respiration and Fermentation:
1. Describe how energy is transferred from glucose (sugar) to oxygen during cellular respiration.
2. For the following steps in cellular respiration, identify what are the reactants and products, how much ATP is produced, the location the process occurs, and the number of NADH and FADH2 produced.
a. Glycolysis
b. Pyruvate oxidation
c. Citric acid cycle (Krebs cycle)
d. Electron transport chain
i. Explain how chemiosmosis generates ATP during the ETC.
ii. What is the function of the electrons in the electron transport chain?
iii. What is the function of ATP synthase in the electron transport chain?
e. How much total ATP is generated at the end of cellular respiration?
3. Describe the purpose of fermentation.
a. How does fermentation compare to cellular respiration in terms of: oxygen requirements, ATP generation, and end products?
