Document Summary

Converts each molecule of glucose into 2 pyruvate molecules. Other sugar molecules can enter at different points of the glycolytic pathway. Results in the formation of activated carrier molecules - atp and nadh. Pyruvate is transported from cytosol into mitochondrial matrix: transformed into acetyl-coa and co2, acetyl coa can also be produced directly from the oxidation of fatty acids. Acetyl group of acetyl-coa is transferred to oaa. Oxidative phosphorylation - using the electrons in nadh to drive atp synthesis and regenerate nad+ to allow glycolysis and tca to continue. Loaded energy carriers (nadh, fadh2) carry their electrons to the matrix side of the inner mitochondrial membrane. They transfer electrons to a series of membrane-associated proteins that shuttle electrons in redox reactions the electron transport chain (etc) Series of molecules embedded in inner mitochondrial membrane. Nadh delivers electrons to top of chain, oxygen catches them at the bottom. Oxygen then joins (is reduced) with hydrogen to form water.
