BIOLOGY 151 Lecture Notes - Lecture 27: Transmembrane Protein, Atp Synthase, Starch
Document Summary
Glucose + nad+ + adp + p 2 pyruvate + 2nadh + 2 atp. You start off with glucose, nad+, and adp. You phosphorylate the glucose from an atp (-1 atp) and form glucose 6-phosphate. You phosphorylate glucose 6-phosphate (-1 atp) to form fructose 6-phosphate. That fructose 6-phosphate is broken down into two 3-phosphate groups called pyruvate. Nad+ is reduced to two nadh and 4 atp were essentially formed but two were used to phosphorylate the glucose yielding 2 atp. Pyruvate broken down into co2 and an acetyl group. Acetyl group latches onto coenzyme a which takes it to citric acid cycle. This is catalyzed by pyruvate dehydrogenase complex. 2 pyruvate 2co2 + 2 nadh + 2 acetyl-coa. You have 2 carbon acetyl-coa + 4 carbon oxaloacetate which produced 6 carbon. 6 carbon citrate is oxidized back to oxaloacetate. At end of citric acid cycle (x2), you end up with 6 nadh, 2 atp, and 2 fadh2.
