occurs in the mitochondrial matrix and

generates a pool of chemical energy (ATP, NADH, and FADH2) from

the oxidation of pyruvate, the end product of glycolysis.

citric acid cycle

also known as the Krebs cycle or the

tricarboxylic acid cycle

4
New cards

Pyruvate

transported into the mitochondria and loses carbon dioxide to form acetyl-CoA, a 2-carbon molecule.

5
New cards

oxidative phosphorylation

our major source of ATP and energy

6
New cards

electron transport chain

ast component of aerobic

respiration and is the only part of glucose metabolism that uses

atmospheric oxygen.

7
New cards

electron transport

chain.

accessory electron carriers

8
New cards

Chemiosmosis

used to generate 90% of the ATP made during

aerobic glucose catabolism

9
New cards

oxidative

phosphorylation

production of ATP

using the process of chemiosmosis in mitochondria

10
New cards

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP)

energy currency for cellular

processes.
