Document Summary

There are a couple of metabolic pathways used in aerobic energy harvesting (4) This is if oxygen is present: glycolysis. Does not require oxygen but will occur before the next ones do. You convert it to 2 molecules of pyruvate (3 carbons) 2 molecules of atp are used takes glucose and converts it to 2 glyceraldehyde 3 phosphate. You only net 2 atps since you used 2 atps previously. This will be catalyzed by enzymes that form a complex in the inner mitochondrial membrane. The mitochondria takes out the pyruvate after glycolysis before this step. Occurs in the mitochondrial matrix (powerhouse of the cell) You now have 2 pyruvate molecules to begin with. These interact with coenzyme a and they form acetyl coa. You end up/net with 2 acetyl coa"s and 2 nadh"s. You end with lots of high energy molecules after breaking down the 2 carbon molecule. Acetyl coa brings in your 2 carbon acetate.
