Study Notes
Glycolysis
- Occurs in the cytoplasm
- Converts glucose to pyruvate
- Produces a net gain of 2 ATP and 2 NADH molecules
Krebs Cycle (Citric Acid Cycle)
- Takes place in the mitochondrial matrix
- Each turn of the cycle converts acetyl-CoA into CO2
- Generates 3 NADH, 1 FADH2, and 1 ATP (or GTP) per acetyl-CoA
Electron Transport Chain (ETS)
- Located in the inner mitochondrial membrane
- Electrons from NADH and FADH2 are passed through the chain
- Ultimately reduces oxygen to water
- Produces a large amount of ATP via a proton gradient (chemiosmosis)
