What happens to the CO2 produced in the Krebs cycle?
It is a waste product so is removed by gaseous exchange.
1 of 9
The hydrogen atoms produced in the Krebs cycle are a useful energy source, why?
The electrons they possess are a potential source of energy.
2 of 9
How do the hydrogen atoms produced in the Krebs cycle end up in the ETC?
They are carried by coenzymes NAD & FAD. This is the process by which the energy of the electrons within the hydrogen atoms is converted into a form that cells can use (ATP).
3 of 9
Mitochondria are __ ___ organelles found in ___ cells?
rod-shaped, eukaryotic
4 of 9
Each mitochondrion is bound by a ___ ___ ___ and an inner one that is folded into extensions called ___?
smooth outer membrane, cristae
5 of 9
The inner space or ___, is made up of semi-rigid material of ___, ___and traces of ___?
matrix, protein, lipids, DNA
6 of 9
Mitochondria are the sites of the ___ and the cristae have the ___and other proteins involved in the ETC attached and hence ATP ___?
ETC, enzymes, synthesis
7 of 9
Mitochondria occur more in metabolically active cells such as the ___, ___, and ___ cells which carry out active transport?
muscles, liver, epithelial
8 of 9
The mitochondria in these cells also have more densely packed ___ which provide a greater ___ ___, for the attachment of ___ and other proteins involved in the ETC?
cristae, surface area, enzymes
