Comparing Stages of Aerobic Respiration

Stages

  • Glycolysis
  • The Link Reaction
  • The Krebs Cycle
  • The Electron Stage Chain
DifferencesGlycolysisThe Link ReactionThe Krebs CycleThe Electron Stage Chain
Locationoccurs in the cells cytoplasmoccurs in the matrix of mitochondriaoccurs in the matrix of mitochondriaoccurs in the inter membrane space
Requirementsrequires 2 molecules of NAD+ per glucose moleculerequires pyruvate and NAD and COArequires a series of enzyme-controlled reactionsrequires close distance to allow the electrons to pass from carrier to carrier
Productsproduces pyruvateproduces Acetyl COA, CO2, NADPHproduces 2 molecules of C, 3 molecules of NADH, 1 Molecule of FADHZ and ATPproduces water and many molecules of ATP
