Q

Glycolysis

A

occurs in the cytosol

glucose(6 carbon monosaccharide) broken down into pyruvic acid(3 carbon monosaccharide)

Energy is released as these bonds are broken in form of Hugh energy electrons and protons

NAD+ picks them and becomes NADH

Q

Krebs cycle

A

Pyruvic acid broken into Acetyl Coenzyme A

Acetyl CoE A joins with a 4 carbon molecule to form a 6 carbon molecule

It is broken down into 5C and then a 4C

During this high energy electrons are released creating NADH
