Homework 2 worth 50 Points
1. We need ATP’s for energy to do everything in our life that we need. I
want you to follow the Kreb’s cycle. Start with glycolysis and tell me what
you begin with. Tell me how you get to the Kreb’s cycle from here. What
products do you end up with after the Kreb’s cycle? Why is the electron
transport chain so important? What is produced with this part of the cycle?
What products will you finally end up with at the end of the Aerobic
Pathway?
2. Now look at the anaerobic pathways. There are two. What is produced
from each of those cycles? Based on this information, is aerobic or
anaerobic pathways more efficient? Why?
3. Give me an instance where you would not be using much energy and tell
me an instance where you would be using a lot of energy. Use your
imagination.
