    Study Notes

    Enzymes and Cellular Respiration

    • Enzymes speed up reaction rates by lowering the activation energy required for the reaction to occur.
    • NAD+/NADH and FAD2+/FADH2 are electron carriers that play a crucial role in transferring electrons during cellular respiration.
    • Ligase enzymes catalyze the joining of two molecules, forming a new covalent bond.

    Cellular Respiration Stages

    • The three major stages of cellular respiration are glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation.

    Glycolysis

    • Glycolysis occurs in the cytosol of the cell.

    Enzyme Functions

    • Oxidoreductase enzymes catalyze oxidation and reduction reactions, facilitating the transfer of electrons.
