Comparing Stages of Aerobic Respiration
Glycolysis
The Link Reaction
The Krebs Cycle
The Electron Stage Chain
Differences | Glycolysis | The Link Reaction | The Krebs Cycle | The Electron Stage Chain |
---|---|---|---|---|
Location | occurs in the cells cytoplasm | occurs in the matrix of mitochondria | occurs in the matrix of mitochondria | occurs in the inter membrane space |
Requirements | requires 2 molecules of NAD+ per glucose molecule | requires pyruvate and NAD and COA | requires a series of enzyme-controlled reactions | requires close distance to allow the electrons to pass from carrier to carrier |
Products | produces pyruvate | produces Acetyl COA, CO2, NADPH | produces 2 molecules of C, 3 molecules of NADH, 1 Molecule of FADHZ and ATP | produces water and many molecules of ATP |
Processes | phosphorylation, lysis, oxidation, dephosphorylation | pyruvate being oxidised, reduction of NAD | regeneration of oxaloacetate | oxidative phosphorylation. the Krebs Cycle |
