Summary Introduction

Introduction:

The ATP can be generated through aerobic and anaerobic respiration. The ATP (adenosine triphosphate) production is vital for the functioning of the various systems and biochemical processes in the cell. Several metabolic pathways, such as glycolysis, Krebs cycle, electron transport chain, and alcohol fermentation, generate ATP to power up the succeeding process.

Which set of reactions are most efficient at making ATP from the breakdown of glucose?      electron transport chain      glycolysis     acetyl-CoA formation      citric acid cycle
Which of the following describes the critical role that ATP plays in cellular metabolism? ATP serves an energy shuttle in the cell, coupling exergonic anf exergonic reactions. The terminal phosphate group of ATP is attached by a particular strong covalent bond that releases extra energy when broken. It is one of the four building blocks for RNA synthesis. Hydrolysis of ATP provides energy to drive exergonic reactions in the cell.
Each ATP molecule contains about 1% of the amount of chemical energy available from the complete oxidation of a single glucose molecule. Cellular respiration produces about 38 ATP from one glucose molecule. What happens to the rest of the energy in glucose? It is stored as fat. It is converted to heat. It is used to make water from hydrogen ions and oxygen. It is released as carbon dioxide and water It is converted to starch.
