Document Summary

Location, products, distribution in nature and purpose of pathways such as glycolysis, ca cycle, respiratory electron transport etc. Pyruvate oxidation - citric acid cycle: in the matrix. Electron transport and oxidative phosphorylation: inner mitochondrial membrane. Relative potential energy of various intermediate compounds (eg. glucose vs. pyruvate vs. co2) The products are 2 molecules of pyruvate (3 c each) which have less free energy than glycolysis. Phosphoenolpyruvate is converted to pyruvate where it loses a phosphate to create atp. This is substrate level phosphorylation (no oxygen is required). You don"t get much atp but you get enough. Pyruvate oxidation occurs to go from pyruvate (in the cytosol) to go into the matrix. In eukaryotes it occurs in the matrix, and aerobic respiration in bacteria (don"t have mitochondria) occurs in the cytosol as well. Co2 is dumped from the pyruvate because there is no free energy left in there decarboxylation. The transition is called the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex.
