7.3 After Pyruvate is Oxidized, the Citric Acid Cycle Completes the Energy-Yielding Oxidation of Organic Molecules

Key Terms: Acetyl CoA 

BELLWORK: Watch and take your own notes on the Citric Acid Cycle Khan Academy video 

IN CLASS READING of Concept 7.3: Pages 148 in your text.

1. Explain the energy production limitations of glycolysis, indicating where most of the energy  remains stockpiled.
2. State what must be present for the oxidation of glucose to be completed.
3. Compare where this oxidation happens in eukaryotes and prokaryotes.
4. Describe what happens to pyruvate before entering the citric acid cycle.
5. State another name for the citric acid cycle.
6. List how many CO₂ molecules are created from 1 pyruvate getting oxidized and going through the citric acid cycle.
7. State how many ATPs are created by 1 Acetyl CoA completing the citric acid cycle.
8. Explain where most of the chemical energy is transferred (what are the 2 electron carriers)
9. State what will happen to these 2 electron carriers.
10. Calculate the total number of ATP, NADH, and FADH₂ created by 1 molecule of glucose undergoing glycolysis, pyruvate oxidation, and the citric acid cycle.
