Cellular Respiration: Full Review

Fats, proteins, and carbohydrates are reservoirs of energy that, through a series of chemical reactions, become available to the cells. What is this overall series of reactions called?

In eukaryotic cells, all the respiratory steps except for glycolysis occur within the:

Glycolysis occurs in the:

Many cells, particularly those in plants and in some microorganisms, can obtain energy without oxygen by the anaerobic process of:

Organisms that use glycolysis together with aerobic respiration produce how much more energy than anaerobic species breaking down the same food?

The aerobic respiration of pyruvate occurs within the:

With the aid of a complex of enzymes found in the mitochondrial matrix, acetate is broken down through a long series of chemical reactions known as:

During the Krebs cycle, the most important byproducts are ATP and several hydrogen-carrier molecules, including 1($) and some 2($).

In the final stage of glucose oxidation, high-energy electrons are passed in a controlled series of steps to lower-energy-level electron carriers, with a small amount of energy released at each step to form ATP. This phase of aerobic respiration is known as:

The NADH and FADH2 released during the Krebs cycle are transported to a series of electron carriers in the cristae of the mitochondria. What is this series of carriers called?

Based on the diagram, gram for gram, the complete oxidation of protein yields about how much energy compared to carbohydrates?

The hydrolysis of proteins through the removal of the amino group is one of several ways proteins may be metabolized; this method is known as:

In the 1($), the 3-carbon pyruvic acid molecules produced through glycolysis can be further oxidized.

Pyruvate is transported to the mitochondrial matrix, where the 3-carbon compound is converted into 2-carbon acetate. With the aid of a complex of enzymes, the acetate begins a long series of chemical reactions, which is known by which of the following names?
