Document Summary

Citric acid cycle - the metabolic cycle that is fueled by acetyl coa formed after glycolysis in cellular respiration. Chemical reactions in the cycle complete the metabolic breakdown of glucose molecules to carbon dioxide. The cycle occurs in the matrix of mitochondria and supplies most of the nadh molecules that carry energy to the electron transport chains. Also referred to as the krebs cycle. cristae - the folds in a mitochondrion (plural) cytochrome - membrane-bound hemoprotein that carries out electron transport. Fadh - an electron donor-carrier used exclusively in the krebs cycle. Under stress muscles use o2 faster than your blood can deliver it so your muscle cells start to work anaerobically. As o2 is used up muscles switch from aerobic respiration to the anaerobic pathway. The nadh gets rid of its electrons by adding them to the pyruvic acid made in glycolysis. Electrons + pyruvic acid = lactic acid mitochondrial matrix - the inner membrane in a mitochondrion.
