Document Summary

A 9 step process that breaks down glucose (6 carbons) to pyruvate (3 carbons) The reaction is not spontanoues --> needs 2 atps to be broken down to drive rxn. During the breakdown of glucose, 4atps are made --> a net gain of 2atp for the whole process. Also makes 2nadh (key for making more atp in the etc) After glycolysis, the cell can either go to the krebs cycle or fermentation (anaerobic respiration): 2atp used, 4atp made --> net gain of 2atps. Along the cristate are important proteins needed for the proton pump and atp production. Glucose is converted into pyruvate in glycolysis. Pyruvate is then converted into acetyl coa before entering the krebs cycle. Pyruvate oxidation: decarboxylation: 1 carbon + 2 oxygens (1co2) is removed from pyruvate, oxidation: nad+ enters the pyruvate dehydrogenase enzyme complex and is oxidized into.
