Document Summary

The overall process in which cells gain energy from nutrients. Happens in steps because if it all happened at once the cell would be incinerated by the amount of energy being released. Direct transfer of phosphate group from another molecule. Atp is formed from adp when coupled to the oxidation or electron carriers such as. The electrochemical potential of the proton gradient is harvested and this energy is used to make the chemical energy in the bonds of atp. For every 6-carbon molecule of glucose, two 3 carbon molecules of pyruvate are created. Produces 4 atp net gain = 2. Energy produced here is captured in atp and nadh. Each molecule of pyruvate is transported from the cytosol to the mitochondrial matrix. There, a reaction called pyruvate decarboxylation happens, removing the carboxyl group, releasing co2 out of the cell. The remaining acetyl group joins coenzyme a making acetyl-coa.
