Document Summary

So far: we have oxidized one molecule of glucose through glycolysis, the pyruvate dehydrogenase reaction and the citric acid cycle. So far we have generated a net of: glycolysis, 2 atp, 2nadh, pyruvate dehydrogenase reaction, citric acid cycle, 3 atp, 1 fadh2, 2 gtp. Fortunately, coenzyme q and cytochrome c are lipid soluble and can fulfill this function. 1. 6 shuttling electrons through the electron transport chain. These redox centres can be primarily categorized as: 4. Fe-s clusters cytochromes: each protein complex contains a combination of two or more of these types of redox centres. All of the redox centres in between nadh and oxygen have an increasing reduction potential as you pass from protein complex i to iii to iv and finally to oxygen. So this is why we need oxygen in the air that we breathe! Oxidative" requires oxygen, and the fuels that we use, like glucose and fat, are the compounds that are being oxidized".
