Labster Cellular Respiration Measuring Energy Consumption During Exercise

Metabolism can be divided into catabolic and anabolic reactions. How are these connected?

So in summary, glycolysis breaks down glucose into 2 pyruvate molecules. How many carbon atoms does one molecule of pyruvate contain?

The first step of glycolysis consumes energy. Two high energy ATP molecules phosphorylate glycose. How do ATP molecules store energy?

What action would you recommend to the point guard?

After glycolysis, the pyruvate molecules can follow two different metabolic routes: aerobic and anaerobic respiration. What is the main difference between these?

What is the net result of one glucose molecule going through the Krebs cycle?

Why is the Krebs cycle so important if it only produces 2 ATP molecules?

What two processes are occupies throughout the ETC that together make up oxidative phosphorylation?

Which parameters could you use to measure the effect of exercise on cellular respiration in mice?

What is oxygen used for in cellular respiration?

make a hypothesis: what will happen to oxygen consumption levels when the mouse starts running in the wheel?

Was your guess right? Did the oxygen consumption increase?

Which experiment would you perform to test what happens under extreme exercise conditions?

From what you learned about glycolysis, what is the ATP yield per each molecule of glucose under low oxygen conditions?
