Each round of the Krebs cycle liberates
two carbon dioxide molecules.
At the end of the cycle all carbon atoms
from thdegraded in glycolysise original glucose m are alroleculeeady
liberated incorporated into carbon
dioxide molecfor each glucose two pules. That occuyruvic acidrs because
molecules were made by glycolysis.
Each of these two pconverted into acetyl CoA with libyruvic acids then iseration (^)
of one carbon dioxide molecule (two in
total). Since acetyl CoA cycles the Krebs cycle onceach of the two producede, (^)
from ththe Krebs cycle ise initial glucose two r generated and so fourounds of (^)
other carbon dioxide molecules are
made.
All of the six carbons of the glucose
molecule are then incorporated carbon dioxide molecules (two mainto sixde
during acetyl CoA formation and four
during the two cycles ocycle). f the Krebs
- Where in mitochondria
does the process called
respiratory chain occur?
Which are the products of the
Krebs cycle used in that final
phase of the aerobic
respiration?
Respiratory ctransport chain, is phain, or erformed by proteinthe electron (^)
systemsof the mitocho located indria. En the inner membranenergized electrons (^)
of hydrogen atoms transported by
NADHthe preceding phases us 2 and FADH 2 are the products ofed in the
respiratory chain.
- What are cytochromes?
Cytochromes are proteins of the internal
mitochospecialized indrial mn electron transfembrane that areer and (^)
participate in the respiratory chain.
Energized electrons lihydrogen donors NADHberated by the

pass through a sequence ofcytochromes losing energy in each (^)
passage. Tsynthesis of ATP.he energy is then used in the

this ATP synthesis called?
