What three steps occur during cell respiration?

Cellular respiration has three main components: glycolysis, Krebs Cycle, and electron transportation chain/chemiosmosis. There is a fourth component, pyruvate decarboxylation, that connects glycolysis and Krebs Cycle.


What compound that is derived from glucose actually enters the Krebs cycle?

Acetyl-Coenzyme A (Acetyl-CoA) is the compound the enters the Kreb's cycle and reacts with oxaloacetate. It is dervied from the pyruvate, produced in glycolysis, that has gone through decarboxylation and has conezyme A attached to it.


Name the two step process where pyruvate is converted to a two carbon compound releasing carbon dioxide. Then the electrons are transferred from a molecule of NADH to the two carbon compound producing?

Pyruvate decarboxylation -> Acetaldehyde reduction The product is ethanol. Pyruvate decarboxylation is performed by pyruvate decarxylase with cofactor thiamine pyrophosphate, and the product, acetaldehyde, is reduced by NADH. (Pyruvate decarboxylase is NOT the same as the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex in cellular respiration. Though pyruvate dehydrogenase also decarboxylates pyruvate, but the decarboxlated species immediately reacts with CoA to form acetyl-CoA).

Are Kolbe electrolysis and Kolbe decarboxylaton different names of the same reaction?

Decarboxylation refers to a reaction of carboxylic acids and it involves removing a carboxyl group and finally releases carbon dioxide. Therefore,Kolbe electrolysis and Kolbe decarboxylaton are not different names of the same reaction.
