Document Summary

The overall process by which cells obtain energy from nutrients is known as cellular respiration. In many organisms, including humans, oxygen is required for this process; cellular respiration in these organisms is referred to as aerobic respiration. In cellular respiration, atp is generated through two major mechanisms: substrate-level phosphorylation forms atp from adp by the direct transfer of a phosphate group from another molecule. Almost always require catalysis by kinases (enzymes that phosphorylate other molecules). Occur in cytosol: oxidative phosphorylation formation of atp from adp is coupled to the oxidation of electron carriers such as nad+/nadh and fad/fadh2. There are four major phases: glycolysis, pyruvate decarboxylation, citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation. The catabolic pathway in which carbohydrates (glucose) is metabolized. For every 6- carbon molecule of glucose, two 3-carbon molecules of pyruvate are produced. Each molecule of pyruvate is transported from cytosol to mitochondrial matrix.
