respiration Flashcards
Glycolysis location
cytoplasm
Glycolysis process
Glucose is phosphorylated into glucose phosphate using 2ATP, forming 2 ADP
2x Triose phosphate is produced from glucose phosphate, which then becomes oxidised into 2x pyruvate, in which 2x 2ATP formed from 2x 2ADP
Glycolysis products
netgain of 2ATP
2x NADH
2x pyruvate
Link reaction location
mitochondrial matrix
Link reaction process
pyruvate is oxidised to acetate, where NAD is reduced to NADH
CO2 is also released
Acetate combines with Coenzyme A to produce AcetylcoA
Link reaction products
2x AcetylcoA
2x Co2 released
2x NADPH
Krebs location
matrix
Krebs process
4C molecule reacts with acetate to form 6C molecule, releasing coenzyme A

Krebs products
6x NADH
2x FADH
2x ATP
4x Co2
