The Krebs cycle requires oxygen, because...

• without oxygen, NADH cannot be oxidized to continue receiving electrons as NAD+

• without oxygen, coenzyme A is unable to be added to the pyruvate molecule to make acetyl CoA

• without oxygen, ATP cannot be synthesized by substrate level phosphorylation

• without oxygen, glycolysis cannot take place to provide the starting materials for the Krebs cycle

What is the difference between NADH and FADH₂?

• Both are electron carriers, FADH₂ occurs in the Krebs cycle and NADH occurs in glycolysis

• Both are electron carriers, NADH occurs in glycolysis and FADH₂ occurs in the Krebs cycle.

• Both are electron carriers, FADH₂ holds higher energy electrons

• Both are electron carriers, NADH holds higher energy electrons

In one turn of the cycle, how many of the products are formed?

• 1 ATP, 2 NADH, 2 FADH₂, 1 CO₂

• 1 ATP, 3 NADH, 1 FADH₂, 2 CO₂

• 2 ATP, 2 NADH, 1 FADH₂, 1 CO₂

• 2 ATP, 3 NADH, 2 FADH₂, 2 CO₂

How does the Krebs cycle allow for ATP synthesis?

• The rotation of the Krebs cycle turns a "rotor" in the cell to synthesize ATP

• ATP is synthesized by substrate level phosphorylation during the removal of the coenzyme A upon entrance into the cycle

• Krebs cycle completes the breakdown of glucose to release the energy and store it in the form of ATP

• High energy electrons are stored in NADH and FADH₂ to shuttle to the ETC to generate a proton gradient

Predict the effect of an inhibitor that stops the oxidation of NADH or FADH₂.

• Increase of cellular respiration; more ATP is synthesized

• Decrease of cellular respiration; more ATP is synthesized

• Increase of cellular respiration; less ATP is synthesized

• Decrease of cellular respiration; less ATP is synthesized
