Problem 1: Explain how a single Glucose molecule turns into a Pyruvate molecule. List the products produced at each step. You do not need to list the names of the enzymes.
Problem 2: Explain how an Acetyl-CoA molecule moves through the Citric Acid Cycle. List the products produced at each step and finish your explanation once the initial Acetyl-CoA's end result joins with another Acetyl-CoA. You do not need to list the names of the enzymes.
Problem 3: With respect to Cellular Respiration, why do we need Oxygen to live? What happens when we do not have Oxygen?
Problem 4: Pesticides are an effective means of controlling insect populations. Some pesticides impact the cellular respiration processes in specific insects by targeting molecules and enzymes. What might be the effect on an insect's cellular respiration processes if a pesticide is used on them which impacts their ability to turn NADH into NAD+ and H and vice versa? Be specific in your responses.
Problem 5: The equation for cellular respiration is Glucose + Oxygen Gas -> Carbon Dioxide + Water + Energy. Explain why we need Oxygen Gas in this process and what happens when we don't have an intake of oxygen (be specific!).
Problem 6: Imagine you just ate a steak. It doesn't matter how it was cooked, just imagine it was amazing. Detail how your body will break down the proteins OR the lipids and use the energy.
