Hint
the reactants of cellular respiration
glucose and oxygen
Hint
glycolysis splits 1 glucose molecule into 2 molecules of these
pyruvate
Hint
the 2-carbon molecule that enters the Krebs cycle during cellular respiration
acetyl-CoA
Hint
the Krebs cycle stores energy in these electron carriers
NADH and FADH
2
Hint
the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain of cellular respiration
oxygen
Hint
the enzyme that synthesizes ATP in the ETC during cellular respiration
ATP synthase
Hint
in anaerobic conditions, glycolysis is followed by this process to recycle NADH
fermentation
