Problem 1: What is the basic purpose of cellular respiration? What are the reactants and products of cellular respiration overall? Give a basic description of the three main stages of cellular respiration (glycolysis, Kreb cycle, and the electron transport chain)
Problem 2: How does Antimycin A work. Focus on the enzyme inhibited by Antimycin A, and the part of cellular respiration that would be affected.
Problem 3: What effect would the presence of Antimycin A have on ATP production? What effect would the presence of yAntimycin A have on the amount of NAD+, NADH, pyruvate, and oxygen present in the cell?
Problem 4: If cellular respiration is blocked, can cells switch to a backup method for making ATP?
