Study Notes

Cellular Respiration: Glycolysis, Citric Acid Cycle, and Oxidative Phosphorylation

Glycolysis is the initial step of cellular respiration, occurring in the cytoplasm, and can happen with or without oxygen.
Glycolysis is regulated by negative feedback inhibition of the enzyme phosphofructokinase, with high ATP levels inhibiting the enzyme.
Pyruvate oxidation and the citric acid cycle follow glycolysis, occurring in the mitochondrial matrix, and they complete the oxidation and breakdown of glucose.
The citric acid cycle, also known as the Krebs cycle, generates CO2 and many NADH and FADH2 molecules, essential for the electron transport chain/oxidative phosphorylation.
The citric acid cycle is regulated by feedback inhibition, with reaction rates being high when ATP and NADH are scarce.
One turn of the citric acid cycle generates CO2, 1 ATP, 3 NADH, and 1 FADH2, while two turns generate CO2, 2 ATP, 6 NADH, and 2 FADH2.
Oxidative phosphorylation involves the electron transport chain and chemiosmosis, where NADH and FADH2 deliver electrons to produce ATP.
The electron transport chain is a series of protein complexes embedded in the inner mitochondrial membrane, which moves electrons down a hill toward oxygen, ultimately producing water.
The net total products from one starting molecule of glucose include 4 ATP from glycolysis, 10 NADH, 2 FADH2, and 2 ATP from the citric acid cycle.
Oxidative phosphorylation involves electron transport and chemiosmosis, where high-energy electrons from NADH and FADH2 are used to produce ATP.
The electron transport chain is a series of protein complexes in the mitochondrial membrane, moving electrons toward oxygen to produce ATP.
Oxidative phosphorylation involves NADH and FADH2 delivering electrons to protein complexes in the mitochondrial membrane, leading to the production of ATP.
