1. What is oxidative decarboxylation?
It is reaction in the Kreb's cycle in which oxygen is used to oxidize two carbon atoms to two molecules of carbon dioxide. The two carbon atoms result from the decarboxylation reactions that occur during the Krebs cycle as the six-carbon compound citrate is converted to the four-carbon compound oxaloacetate.
2. What is substrate-level phosphorylation?
It occurs during glycolysis and the Krebs Cycle and is a precursor for the phosphorylation of glucose. SLP is also the source for the majority of the ATP produced in aerobic respiration.
3. What are the products of Kreb's? Glycolysis?
Kreb's - 6 NADH+H, 2 FADH2, 2 ATP, 4 CO2
Glycolysis - 2NADH, water, net gain of 2 ATP
