Aerobic Cellular Respiration

Glycolosis

Step 1

Input: glucose, ATP, NAD+

Output: pyruvate, 2 net ATP, NADH

oxidized: glucose

reduced: NAD+

location: cytoplasm

Pyrubate Processing

step 2

input: pyruvate, NAD+ and coenzyme A

output: CO2, NADH, and acetyl CoA

oxidized: pyruvate

reduced: NAD+

location: mitochondria

citric acid cycle

step 3

input: acetyl, CoA

output: CO2, NADH, FAD2, ATP

oxidized: acetyl (CoA)

reduced: NAD+ and FAD

location: matrix of mitochondira

electron transport chain

step 4

input: NADH, FADH2, O2

output: NAD+, FAD+, ATP

oxidized: NADH, FADH2

reduced: oxygen

location: inner membrane of mitochondria
