Glycolysis

The breakdown of glucose to form pyruvic acid in the cytosol.

2
New cards

Pyruvic acid

Contains energy-rich hydrogen atoms and is formed when glucose is broken down.

3
New cards

Krebs Cycle

A cyclic series of reactions in the mitochondrion where pyruvic acid enters.

4
New cards

CO2

Released during the Krebs Cycle and is released from the cell.

Oxidative Phosphorylation

The process where energized hydrogen atoms are used to make 36 ATP molecules.
