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.
