Document Summary

Steps 5-9 the energy payoff phase yield energy. 2 nadh molecules are produced for each initial glucose molecule, 4 atp molecules are generated. First phase used 2 molecules of atp, net gain is 2 for each glucose molecule . The 2 glucose molecules from glycolysis account for only 6% of energy that a cell can harvest from glucose . The 2 nadh molecules (step 5) account for another 16% . Stored energy is not available for use in the absence of o2 (see page 107 for details on all 9 steps of glycolysis) . The citric acid cycle completes the oxidation of organic molecules, generating many nadh and fadh2 molecules. Citric acid cycle is often referred to as the krebes cycle . Only the 2-carbon acetyl part of the acetyl coa molecule enters the citric acid cycle . The coenzyme a splits off an is recycled.
