Document Summary

End results of glycolysis: 2 molecules of pyruvate. In human cells, pyruvate needs to be moved to the mitochondria. Past the two membranes of the mitochondria. Similar to the cytoplasm of a cell: bridge step. Pyruvate is oxidized down to a carbon dioxide and a two carbon molecule: carbon dioxide- trash. 3 electrons lost when pyruvate is oxidized: these are captured by the carrier molecule and creates a high energy carrier molecule. The 2 carbon molecule is attached to coenzyme a: coenzyme a is a molecule that helps chemical reaction along. It is not consumed and is going to help power the next reaction. Krebs cycle: cycle to oxidize all remaining carbon from glucose to co2, completes the oxidation of glucose. Incorporates acetyl coa from transition step: releases co2 in net reaction, two turns for each glucose molecule, cycle produces. 6 co2: regenerate the nadh to make it into atp.
