Cellular Respiration: Reactants and Products

Glycolysis

• Reactants include glucose (C6H12O6), NAD+, ADP, and a net consumption of 2 ATP.
• Products consist of 2 pyruvate molecules, 2 NADH, 4 ATP (with a net yield of 2 ATP), and 2 ADP.

Pyruvate Oxidation

• Reactants are 2 pyruvate molecules along with 2 CoA and 2 NAD+.
• Products produced include 2 Acetyl CoA, 2 CO2, and 2 NADH.

Citric Acid Cycle

• Reactants for this cycle are 2 Acetyl CoA, 6 NAD+, 2 FAD, and 2 ADP.
• Major products include 4 CO2, 6 NADH, 2 FADH2, 2 ATP, and 2 CoA.

Oxidative Phosphorylation

• Reactants required are 10 NADH, 2 FADH2, 28 ADP, and 1 O2.
• Products generated consist of 10 NAD+, 10 H+, 10 electrons, 2 FAD+, 6 H+, 28 ATP, and 1 H2O.
