They could do this by checking for a buildup of which of the following compounds? (eText Concept 9.5) | lactate. In humans, muscle cells switch to lactate fermentation after becoming anaerobic. | |
| 1039798927 | Fermentation is essentially glycolysis plus an extra step in which pyruvate is reduced to form lactate or alcohol and carbon dioxide. This last step _____. (eText Concept 9.5) | enables the cell to recycle the reduced NADH to oxidized NAD+ | |
| 1039798928 | During respiration in eukaryotic cells, the electron transport chain is located in or on the _____. (eText Concept 9.4) | inner membrane of the mitochondrion | |
| 1039798929 | Which of the following is the source of the energy that produces the chemiosmotic gradient in mitochondria? (eText Concept 9.4) | Electrons moving down the electron transport chain | |
| 1039798930 | Which of the following best describes the electron transport chain? (eText Concept 9.4) Acetyl CoA is fully oxidized to CO2. Glucose is broken down to a three-carbon compound in preparation for the citric acid cycle. Electrons are passed from one carrier to another, releasing a little energy at each step. Hydrogen atoms are added to CO2 to make an energy-rich compound. Electrons are pumped across a membrane by active transport. | Electrons are passed from one carrier to another, releasing a little energy at each step. | |
| 1039798931 | During aerobic respiration, molecular oxygen (O2) is used for which of the following purposes? (eText Concept 9.4) at the end of glycolysis to oxidize pyruvate at the end of the electron transport chain to accept electrons and form H2O between glycolysis and the citric acid cycle to split a carbon from pyruvate, producing CO2 as a source of O2 in every reaction that produces CO2 at the end of the citric acid cycle to regenerate citric acid | at the end of the electron transport chain to accept electrons and form H2O | |
