Document Summary

Chapter 07 metabolism: transformations & interactions (continued) Overall summary: each of the major nutrients (carbohydrates, fats, and proteins) starts down its own path of catabolism, but these paths converge to a common product, a 2-carbon compound known as acetyl-coa . In turn, acetyl-coa is converted by the tca cycle into 2 co2. The hydrogens collected from acetyl-coa in the citric acid cycle are transferred to o2 by the electron transport chain. The tca cycle, electron transport, and oxidative phosphorylation all take place in the mitochondria. Atp yields: one way of expressing the energy from nutrient breakdown is in atp yields (typically as the number of molecules of atp that can be formed per molecule of nutrient). For glucose in a human cell, the atp yield/glucose is about 30. Glycolysis (from glyco, meaning sugar and lysis, meaning splitting) is the name given to the first stage of glucose breakdown to produce energy in the form of atp.
