how the mitchondria creates ATP

What is the purpose of the mitochondria?

To produce ATP, the cells unable energy, through cellular respiration

Glycolysis; where does it happen?

Cytoplasm

Glycolysis; what goes in and what comes out?

In; glucose

Out; 2 pyruvate, 2 net ATP, and NADH

Pyruvate oxidation; where does it happen?

Mitochondrial matrix

Pyruvate oxidation; what goes in and what comes out?

in; pyruvate, NADH+, and coenzyme A

out; acetyl-CoA, CO2, NADH

Krebs cycle, where does it happen?

Mitochondrial matrix

Krebs cycle; what does it produce per glucose?

CO2, NADH, FADH-2, and ATP equivalents

Electron transport chain; where is it?

Inner mitochondrial membrane

Electron transport chain; what goes in and what comes out?

NADH, FADH-2, donate electrons. Oxygen accepts electrons and helps form water.

The chain creates a H^+ gradient

Chemiosmosis; what happens?

hydrogen ions flow through ATP synthesis, which uses there energy to make ATP

What molecules combine to make ATP?

ADP + inorganic phosphate (PI) makes ATP

How much ATP is produced per glucose?

About 30-32 is typical per eukaryotic cell.
