Responses:

Amino acids can be transported into the mitochondria and converted into acetyl CoA.

False

Anaerobic respiration is not the same as fermentation, as only the former requires an electron-transport chain.

True

When subjected to anaerobic conditions, glycolysis in mammalian cells continues and causes a buildup of pyruvate in the cytosol.

The pyruvate dehydrogenase complex catalyzes three different, but linked, enzymatic reactions.

During glycolysis, glucose molecules are broken down to yield CO₂ and H₂O.

The cleavage of fructose 1,6-bisphosphate yields two molecules of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate.
