- Complete the following table about the total products of the various pathways of cellular respiration that result in the complete oxidation of one molecule of glucose (C6H12O6). Number of CO2 produced Net number of ATP produced Number of NADH produced Number of FADH2 produced Glycolysis Pyruvate Oxidation Citric Acid Cyclearrow_forwardFast-twitch muscle fibers have fewer mitochondria and less myoglobin to store oxygen than slow-twitch muscle fibers. Use this information to predict how energy production differs in these two types of muscle fibers. Fast-twitch fibers rely primarily on aerobic respiration whereas slow- twitch fibers rely on anaerobic respiration. Slow-twitch fibers are able to produce more ATP per glucose molecule than fast-twitch fibers. You would expect to find more lactic acid build-up in slow-twitch fibers rather than fast-twitch fibers. A & C all of the abovearrow_forwardATP can be generated by two processes: substrate-level phosphorylation (as in the glycolysis), or oxidative phosphorylation (as in aerobic respiration).

Glycolysis → Pyruvate oxidation → Citric acid cycle → Chemiosmosis → Electron transport chain Glycolysis → Fermentation Glycolysis → Pyruvate oxidation → Citric acid cycle → Electron transport chain → Chemiosmosis Glycolysis → Fermentation → Pyruvate oxidation → Citric acid cycle → Electron transport chain → Chemiosmosis Pyruvate oxidation → Glycolysis → Citric acid cycle → Fermentationarrow_forwardLactate dehydrogenase (LDH) plays an essential role in an exercising muscle, especially when the level of excursion surpasses the ability of circulatory systems ability to supply adequate oxygen. What is the main reason LDH is so important to the muscle under these conditions? It produces one mole of ATP via substrate level phosphorylation. It resupplies NAD+ to glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase. It decreases pH thus decreasing the dissociation rate of oxygen from hemoglobin It produces NADH for energy while converting pyruvate into lactate. It removes excess lactic acid from the muscle to create pyruvate. Nextarrow_forward

For example, ducks generally fly several thousand miles during their annual migration. The flight muscles of migratory birds have a high oxidative capacity and obtain the necessary ATP through the oxidation of acetyl-CoA (obtained from fats) via the citric acid cycle. Compare the regulation of muscle glycolysis during short-term intense activity, as in a fleeing rabbit, and during extended activity, as in the migrating duck. Why must the regulation in these two settings be different? Extended activity requires the highly efficient anaerobic metabolism of fats, rather than the less efficient aerobic metabolism of glucose. Extended activity requires the highly efficient aerobic oxidation of fats, rather than the less efficient anaerobic metabolism of glucose. Extended activity stimulates glycolysis because the concentrations of citrate and acetyl-CoA are…arrow_forward
