1. Briefly describe one way that cells used reduced cofactors (NADH, NADPH) produced by central metabolism.
2. Contrast aerobic and anaerobic respiration for chemoorganotrophs that can use glucose as electron donor. Comment on type of electron acceptor and energy/ATP yield.
3. Explain the biosynthetic and energy-producing functions of intermediates from the citric acid cycle.
Homework Answers
Answer 1:
NADH and NADPH are cofactors that carry high-energy electrons and hydrogen atoms. These molecules participate in oxidation-reduction reactions in cells.
NADPH participates in biosynthetic (anabolic reactions) reactions and coupled with energetically unfavorable reactions by providing high-energy electrons that needed to synthesize energy-rich biological molecules. many enzymes in the cytosol synthesize large biomolecules using NADPH.
NADH, play an important role as an intermediate in the catabolic (breakdown of molecules) reactions that generate ATP. Mitochondria use NADH during oxidative phosphorylation. Anaerobic utilization of pyruvate.

Can someone reword this for me? Please and thank you! Cellular respiration is a process that converts energy from food molecules into the energy of ATP. It involves three stages that occur in the cytoplasm of cells and in the mitochondria. One of the three stages is the citric acid cycle which is a series of reactions that generates reduced electron carriers that transport electrons to the electron transport chain. Since the primary function of the mitochondria is to produce...
