Study Notes
Glycolysis Overview
- Glycolysis converts glucose into pyruvate.
- A single glycolysis run produces 2 NADH and 2 ATP.
- Under anaerobic conditions, pyruvate is converted into lactic acid.
- A 6-carbon sugar diphosphate is split into two 3-carbon sugar phosphate molecules during glycolysis.
Aerobic vs Anaerobic Conditions
- Under aerobic conditions, pyruvate is converted to acetyl-CoA before entering the citric acid cycle.
- The claim that there is further ATP production from pyruvate under aerobic conditions is false.
Citric Acid Cycle (Krebs Cycle)
- The citric acid cycle occurs in the mitochondria.
- One complete turn of the Krebs cycle yields 1 ATP, 3 NADH, and 1 FADH2.
- The initial step of the Krebs cycle involves adding a 2-carbon molecule to a 4-carbon molecule.
- A single turn of the Krebs cycle does not involve three different decarboxylation reactions.
Electron Transport Chain
- The order of electron acceptors in the electron transport chain is: Cytochrome c, Cytochrome c oxidase, and Oxygen.
- Electrons in the electron transport system initially come from NADH and FADH2.
- Protons move through ATP synthase from the intermembrane space to the mitochondrial matrix.
- Oxygen's acceptance of electrons results in the production of water as a byproduct.
Phosphorylation Types
- The ATP produced from the electron transport system is termed oxidative phosphorylation, not substrate-level phosphorylation.
