Document Summary

Now let"s take a look at the details of glycolysis: And here are the last five reactions, leading to the production of pyruvate: Pyruvate now enters the mitochondrion, where it is (1) decarboxylated, (2) oxidized by nad+, and (3) joined to something called coenzyme a to form a molecule called acetyl coa. All this is done by the enzyme pyruvate dehydrogenase. Acetyl coa then donates it"s acetate group to oxaloacetate in the krebs cycle, to form citrate. Two carbons enter the cycle as acetate (from acetyl coa), and two (different) carbons leave in the completely oxidized form of co2. One molecule of atp is synthesized by substrate-level phosphorylation for each turn of the cycle, but most of the energy harvested by the oxidative steps of the cycle is conserved in the reduced molecules nadh and fadh2. So now let"s take a look at the electron transport that occurs in the inner membrane of the mitochondria.
