Document Summary

Process of capturing energy of electrons that are shared in covalent bonds of glucose, using o as a final electron acceptor. This process can be broken down into: glycolysis, pyruvate oxidation, krebs cycle, electron transport chin/chemiosmosis. Respiration uses enzymes/specialized structures in mitochondria to extract energy of electrons as they move toward final electron acceptor, oxygen: this is catabolic, exothermic process. Mitochondrion: cr begins in cytoplasm, mitochondria contains an external/internal membrane inner membrane had fold called cristae (allows for greater sa and specialized env. for energy rxn: space within inner membrane=matrix. Enzymes/coenzymes: includes: nadh, nad+, and weaker energy-carrying (e-c) coenzyme. Fadh2: recall: nad nadh is an energy storing endogenic rxn. Stage 1 of aerobic cellular respiration (acr): glycolysis. Glucose (6c) is split into two molecules of pyruvate (2x3c). Each 6c enters cytoplasm, and is split into two 3-carbon molecules, eventually becoming pyruvate (2x3c) after going through 10 enzyme facilitated rxns.
