Cellular Respiration Pyruvate Oxidation & The Krebs Cycle (Citric Acid Cycle)

Cell uses — reactions to transfer energy from one substance to another substance

Redox (Reductions and Oxidation)

Your cells perform reactions that transfer the energy in the food molecules to specific molecules. This reduce these cellular molecule to increase their energy content. these reactions are called..

Redox reactions (Oxidation/Reduction)

Which type of reaction in the cell adds useful energy to a substance?

Reduction reactions

Which form of a chemical contains more energy

Reduced reactions

Each of your cells contains many mitochondria to increase it capacity to make

ATP by cellular respiration

Energy rich carbohydrate is

Pyruvatea product of glycolysis, enabling the further production of ATP in the Krebs cycle.

Pyruvate oxidation produce the Energy-Rich

• NADH

• Acetyl Coenzyme A

In which organelle are the enzymes that form pyruvate oxidation located?

• Mitochondria, specifically in the mitochondrial matrix.

Where in the mitochondrion are the enzymes that form pyruvate oxidation located?

• Matrix : in the MitochondralMitochondrial matrix, where enzymes facilitate the conversion of pyruvate to Acetyl CoA.

Thiamine is a Vitamin B1 enzyme cofactor found in bread, cereals and milk. This is intended to increase the efficiency of

ATP Synthesis (cellular respiration)

Energy rich molecules made in the krebs cycle

• FADH2

• GTP

• NAGH

Enzyme used to coverts GTP to ATP

Nucleoside diphosphate kinase
