Acetylation ~

Tricarboxylic acid

Kreb’s cycle, citric acid cycle aka

The common metabolic pathway

Combination of Kreb’s cycle and Electron Transport chain called

Citric Acid Cycle

A series of biochemical reactions in

which the acetyl portion of acetyl CoA is oxidized to

carbon dioxide and the reduced coenzymes FADH2

and NADH are produced

Oxidation and Decarboxylation

Two important types of reactions in Citric acid cycle

Respiratory Chain

The Electron Transport Chain aka

ETC

facilitates the

passage of electrons trapped in FADH2 and NADH

during citric cycle

ETC

series of biochemical reactions in which

intermediate carriers (protein and non-protein) aid the

transfer of electrons and hydrogen ions from NADH

and FADH2

Oxygen

The ultimately receiver of electrons is

NADH-Coenzyme Q Reductase

Complex I

Succinate-coenzyme Q Reductase

Complex II

Coenzyme Q – Cytochrome c Reductase

Complex III

Cytochrome c Oxidase

Complex IV

Oxidative phosphorylation

process by which ATP is

synthesized from ADP and Pi using the energy

released in the electron transport chain. - coupled

reactions

Coupled Reactions

are pairs of biochemical

reactions that occur concurrently in which energy

released by one reaction is used in the other reaction
