Glycolysis and Krebs Cycle

Aerobic Respiration

C₆H₁₂O₆+6O₂ —→ 6CO₂+6H₂O

• doesn’t happen in one place but a lot of enzymatic reaction have to occur

• Oxidation of glucose in presence of O₂

• Bacteria also perform Glycolysis

What is glycolysis? Where does it happen?

• The break down of glucose

• cytoplasm

What is pyruvate?

• output of glycolysis and gets into mitochondria

What are the four step of cellular respiration?

What two reaction produce energy by going back and forth to its complete chemical structure?

Synthesis of acetyl CoA by the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex

Where does the Krebs cycle happen?

• mitochondrial matrix

• Cranks to produce NADHs for electron transport chain

What does ATP Synthase do?

• makes ATP

• enzyme reaction causing

  • ADP⁺ + P⁺ —→ ATP

What is the electron transpot chain job?

• to move H⁺ from the mitochondrial matrix to the intermembrane space
