Document Summary

Net atp yield of fermentation: 2 atp/glucose molecule. Net atp yield for aerobic respiration: 38 atp/glucose molecule. Important parts of the tca cycle (tricarboxylic acid cycle aka citric acid cycle) Decarboxylated pyruvate = acetyl-coa: acetyl-coa is what enters the tca cycle. Nadph is used for biosynthesis therefore it is not sent to the etc (electron transport chain) Fadh produces 2 atp in the etc. Nadh produces 3 atp in the etc. The intermediates produced in tca cycle are important for biosynthesis: biosynthesis = anabolism substrates converted into more complex products. The tca cycle is not an aerobic mechanism: anaerobes can use the tca cycle too, the tca cycle is only exclusively aerobic in mitochondria. Note that mitochondria used to be bacteria. It is thought that eukaryotes used to only be capable of fermentation before mitochondria (organelle) existed. Catabolism of other organic molecules: polysaccharides and proteins. Exoenzymes are excreted by the cell and hydrolyzes surrounding proteins.
