d) Draw 2 flow charts; one showing how electrons flow through aerobic respiration and a second showing how energy flows through aerobic respiration. 6. In the Glycolysis and Krebs cycle, only a few ATP molecules are generated per molecule of pyruvate. Additionally, on the way to complete oxidation, each pyruvate molecule generates 4 NADH molecules, one \( \mathrm{FADH}_{2} \) molecule, and one ATP molecule. \( \mathrm{FADH}_{2} \) can participate in the proton gradient mechanism as well, but only generates 2 molecules of ATP for each molecule of \( \mathrm{FADH}_{2} \). We predict that 36 molecules of ATP total are derived from a glucose molecule via the process of aerobic respiration. Describe where these ATP molecules come from beginning with the products of the glycolysis and Krebs cycle to explain how that additional ATP is generated. 7. In the absence of oxygen, explain how the cell generates ATP through fermentation and describe where and how these processes occur within the cell. 8. Explain how molecules other than glucose can be used in aerobic respiration.
