Document Summary

Common pathway for fuel molecule (carb"s, fats, aa"s) oxidation. Allows recovery of much greater portion of free energy than glycolysis. Occurs in mitochondria: outer membrane is pretty permeable, inner membrane controls transport. Mitochondria is the site where atp is generated through oxidative phosphorylation. Acetyl group of acetyl coa completely oxidized to co2. Electrons removed from acetyl and transferred to nad+ and. Nadh and fadh 2 formed during cycle reoxidized to nad+ and fad through the action of respiratory or electron transport chain. Eventually these are transferred to oxygen, the terminal electron acceptor! Respiratory chain transfers electrons to o2 to form h2o. Coupled to formation of h+ gradient across inner membrane. Pyruvate + coa + nad+ acetyl coa + co2+nadh. Carbon dioxide is released (loss of a carbon). At the same time, electrons are released and transferred to nad+ to form nadh. Three distinct enzymes associated in a huge protein/coenzyme complex (60 polypeptide chains):
