Hydrogen shuttle
Two main mechanism used during CR to make ATP
Substrate level phosphorylation and
What is substrate level phosphorylation?
Direct synthesis of ATP from ADP and a reactive intermediate, typically a high E phosphate containing molecule
Three stages of CR
Glycolysis, Krebs, and Electron Transport Chain (ETC)
Where does glycolysis occur?
Cytoplasm
What reaction occurs between glycolysis and krebs? Where does this happen?
Acetyl Co A reaction, the mitochondrial matrix
Where does the krebs cycle occur?
Mitochondrial matrix
Where does ETC occur?
The inner mitochondrial membrane (cristae)
