Document Summary

Glycolysis: cytosol: break down of glucose (10 steps) into two 3 carbon molecule (pyruvate, the break down of bonds of glucose is used directly to convert adp into atp, 2 atp, 2 nadh (hydrogen carrier) Electrons are taken by the nadh for the last stage: mcardle disease: missing enzyme that converts glycogen to glucose. Citric acid cycle: two carbon are removed from the 6c citrate molecule, then converted back into 4c. High low gradient = free energy. Low high gradient = needs energy: atp sytnthase (chemiosmosis)
