Study Notes
- Aerobic respiration of glucose has 4 stages: glycolysis, link reaction, Krebs cycle, and electron transport/chemiosmosis.
- Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm and splits glucose into pyruvate.
- The link reaction converts pyruvate into acetyl CoA which enters the Krebs cycle.
- Hydrogen atoms are transferred to NAD to produce reduced NAD in all three stages.
- NADH and FADH release their hydrogen atoms as protons and electrons in the final stage.
- Electrons pass through an electron transport chain and protons are used for ATP synthesis.
- The presence of oxygen is necessary for oxidative phosphorylation.
- Glycolysis can occur in the absence of oxygen in anaerobic respiration.
- Glycolysis yields 2 ATP and NADH which carries electrons to the electron transport chain.
- The Krebs cycle produces CO2, ATP, and reduced NAD and FAD.
