1. In what type of environment does lactic acid fermentation kick in? Give an example of when lactic acid fermentation kick in in your body.

2. What molecule is converted into lactic acid?

3. Why don’t your red blood cells use of up all of the oxygen they are carrying for cellular respiration?

4. What is the preparatory reaction and what basically happens during it?

5. Explain what happens to Acetyl Co A when it enters the citric acid cycle?

6. What are the major products of the citric acid cycle for every one Acetyl CoA?

7. What do the FADH2 and NADHs produced during glycolysis do?

8. Which of the 3 major processes of cellular respiration make the most ATP?

Bio 330- Ch. 5- Part II (read your text to answer these questions)

1. What is the difference between glucose and glycogen?

2. Where does your body store glycogen?

Read 5.3 “Interconversion of glucose, lactic acid, and glycogen”
Define all terms in Table 5.2
Why can only the liver use its glycogen for free glucose production?
Describe the Cori Cycle (fig 5.11)
Why is it important during exercise?
Read 5.4 “Metabolism of Lipids and Proteins”
In this section, you will learn how your body makes ATP when all of your glycogen and glucose have been used up (think no carb diet as an example) and when you have more glucose than you need to make ATP (think overeating).
Lipid Metabolism-
Based on Fig 5.12- where, during cellular respiration, can we make fat from
