Document Summary

The oxidation of food to produce energy can be divided into 3 overall steps/stages, describe what are these steps and where do they occur in the body/cell. Digestion occurs outside of the cell where the macromolecules are broken into smaller molecules. Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm and is where the small molecules are broken into pyruvate. Citric acid cycle occurs in the mitochondria and is where energy is further harvested. Glycolysis generates more stored energy than it expends. There is way more atp produced from one fatty acid cycle, both are broken into acetyl coa. In the final stage of the oxidation of food molecules, a gradient of protons is formed across the inner mitochondrial membrane, which is normally impermeable to protons. For all of the statements below identify if the statement is true or false, if false explain why it is false.
