Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The overall equation with key coenzymes for the conversion of glucose to lactate should be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Aerobic respiration occurs in two steps:
- Glycolysis
- Citric acid cycle
Glycolysis is the first step that forms pyruvate. In the presence of oxygen means aerobic respiration, this pyruvate enters the Krebs cycle and extracts energy in the form of electrons transfer. Electrons are transferred from the pyruvate to the receptors like
(b)
Interpretation:
The overall equation with key coenzymes for the conversion of pyruvate to acetyl CoA should be determined.
