Document Summary

Chemical energy in food is captured in the form of atp. Mitochondria matrix: oxidative phosphorylation via electron transport chain. Output: carbon dioxide (by-product), water, and energy (atp) Energizing atp: atp supplies energy for most activities, adp atp in redox reaction, lose electrons = oxidized, gains electrons = reduced. Nad+ = electron carriers (molecules that carry electrons, empty state molecule) The krebs cycle: intermediate step, between glycolysis and krebs, each pyruvic acid molecule form glycolysis combines with coenzyme a, forming acetyl coa, acetyl coa enters krebs, prep phase to krebs cycle, pyruvate enters mitochondria and is modified: Stripped of e- which go to nad+ nadh. Stripped of c and o co2. To keep electrons flowing to produce gradient need terminal electron acceptor. 90% of atp is depleted in neurons in less than 5 minutes. Without atp, neurons can"t maintain polarized state. No glycogen storage in brain and fatty acids can"t cross blood/brain barrier.
