Document Summary

Triglycerides are major sources of electrons for atp synthesis: hydrolyzed into glycerol and fatty acids, glycerol converted to glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate before glycolysis, fatty acids are split into 2c fragments which enter the citric acid cycle as acetyl-coa. You need a constant supply of o2 to maintain high rates of oxidative phosphorylation to supply cells with enough atp. There are 2 mechanisms by which cells can generate atp in the absence of oxygen: 1) fermentation, 2) anaerobic respiration. The difference between fermentation and anaerobic respiration is that fermentation does not utilize an electron transport chain, whereas anaerobic respiration uses an etc that uses a molecule other than oxygen as the terminal electron acceptor. After glycolysis, cell respiration takes 1 of 2 paths depending on oxygen mitochondrion, oxidized using citric acid cycle and etc. Fermentation: oxygen present pyruvate and 2 nadh transported into, oxygen absent pyruvate stays in cytosol, is reduced, consuming.
