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
Processesphosphorylation, lysis, oxidation, dephosphorylationpyruvate being oxidised, reduction of NADregeneration of oxaloacetateoxidative phosphorylation. the Krebs Cycle
