CELL RESPIRATION

THE KREBS CYCLE

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Cellular respiration is the set of metabolic reactions that occur in cells to produce energy in the form of ATP. During cellular respiration, high energy intermediates are created that can then be oxidized to make ATP. During what stage are these intermediates produced?
A
Oxidative phosphorylation
B
glycolysis
C
citric acid cycle
D
glycolysis and citric acid cycle
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -During cellular respiration, high energy intermediates are created that can then be oxidized to make ATP. During what stage are these intermediates produced? Explanation: The citric acid (Krebs) cycle and glycolysis yield high energy intermediates that can then be used to make ATP.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cellular respiration is a metabolic pathway that breaks down glucose and produces ATP. The stages of cellular respiration include glycolysis, pyruvate oxidation, the citric acid or Krebs cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cellular respiration converts oxygen and glucose into water and carbon dioxide. Water and carbon dioxide are by-products and ATP is energy that is transformed from the process.

Detailed explanation-4: -Energy Metabolism Cellular respiration can be defined generally as the process by which chemical energy is released during the oxidation of organic molecules. If it requires oxygen it is called aerobic respiration, whereas if it takes place in the absence of oxygen it is anaerobic respiration.
