Which Of These Statements Is The Correct Explanation For This Observation?

to acetyl CoA stops. Which of these statements is the correct explanation for this observation? -ATP is needed to convert pyruvate to acetyl CoA. Without oxygen, no ATP can be made in oxidative phosphorylation. -Oxygen is an input to acetyl CoA formation. -Oxygen is required to convert glucose to pyruvate in glycolysis. Without oxygen, no pyruvate can be made. -In the absence of oxygen, electron transport stops. NADH is no longer converted to NAD+, which is needed for the first three stages of cellular respiration.

In the absence of oxygen, electron transport stops. NADH is no longer converted to NAD+, which is needed for the first three stages of cellular respiration. (NAD+ couples oxidative phosphorylation to acetyl CoA formation. The NAD+ needed to oxidize pyruvate to acetyl CoA is produced during electron transport. Without O2, electron transport stops, and the oxidation of pyruvate to acetyl CoA also stops because of the lack of NAD+. )

About the flashcard:

This flashcard is meant to be used for studying, quizzing and learning new information. Many scouting web questions are common questions that are typically seen in the classroom, for homework or on quizzes and tests. Flashcards vary depending on the topic, questions and age group. The cards are meant to be seen as a digital flashcard as they appear double sided, or rather hide the answer giving you the opportunity to think about the question at hand and answer it in your head or on a sheet before revealing the correct answer to yourself or studying partner.
