Question I have is wtf is fermentation? Lol. Feel like that’s a bad point to miss! Krebs cycle is fucking scary to look at and I need to learn the simplified version again to really get this.

Ok so it’s glucose molecule -> glycolysis -> two pyruvates and depending on O2 availability it goes either through oxidative respiration (big atp) or fermentation (acid, gas, alcohol byproducts depending on type of fementation).

I thought fermentation happened under anaerobic conditions and O-F test had me thinking it happened in both.

Fermentation = 2 ATP per glucose
Krebs = 36 + 2 ATP per glucose

Legit scared of this thing. I used to know it.

So, no shit, I spent a lot of time memorizing the entire CAC for the MCAT, knowing, just knowing they would ask a question that required you to memorize it. The one question about it on the test they had the entire cycle displayed in an image involving the question. Such a god damn waste of time.
