LECTURE SUMMARY: The Krebs Cycle & Cellular Respiration
COURSE: Biology 101 | LECTURE 7
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Cellular respiration breaks down glucose to produce ATP through three main stages: glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation. The Krebs cycle is the central hub for energy metabolism.
KEY CONCEPTS:
1. Glycolysis (cytoplasm): 1 glucose -> 2 pyruvate, net 2 ATP + 2 NADH
2. Krebs Cycle (mitochondrial matrix): Acetyl-CoA enters cycle, produces 6 NADH + 2 FADH2 + 2 ATP per glucose
3. Electron Transport Chain (inner membrane): NADH and FADH2 power proton pumps, driving ATP synthase to produce ~34 ATP
CONNECTIONS:
- Previous: Glycolysis produces pyruvate that feeds into Krebs
- Next: Light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis
STUDY QUESTIONS:
1. Why must oxygen be present for the ETC to function?
2. What happens to the Krebs cycle if no pyruvate is available?
3. Compare the ATP yield of aerobic vs anaerobic respiration.
Tips
- Identify the 3-5 most important concepts and explain them fully.
- Show clear connections between each topic.
- Write questions that require synthesis, not just recall.
