cellular respiration

ATP

Adenosine triphosphate. Nucleic acid with three phosphates. energy currency for cells

Aerobic cellular respiration equation

C6H12O6 +6O → 6CO2+ 6H2O + ATP

Glycolysis location

Cytoplasm and anaerobic

What does glycolysis use

a bit of ATP

What does glycolysis make

Uses glucose to make 2 pyruvate, 2 ATP and 2 NADH

NADH

coenzyme that transfers electrons

intermediate step after glycolysis

2 Pyruvate are transported into the mitochondria. mitochondrial matrix via active transport and oxidized and turns into 2 acetyl CoA. CO2 is released and 2 NADH are made

Krebs cycle (Citric acid cycle) location

In the mitochondrial matrix, aerobic process

Krebs cycle inputs and outputs

inputs acetyl CoA, produces 2 ATP, 6 NADH and 2 FADH2

FADH2

coenzyme that assists in transferring electrons

Electron transport chain (ETC) location

In the mitochondrial membrane, aerobic process

ETC process

Electrons from NADH and FADH2 are transferred to protein complexes and electron carriers

What are the electrons going into the ETC used for

generate a proton gradient as protons are pumped across to the intermembrane space through ATP synthase

ATP synthase

adds a phosphate to ADP to make ATP

Chemiosmosis

Protons travel down their electrochemical gradient through a portion of ATP synthase to make ATP

Final electron acceptor

Oxygen
