Document Summary

In cellular respiration, electrons are transferred from glucose to as nad. The energy released by this relocation of electrons is used to make. Carbon dioxide and water are given off as byproducts. Glycolysis is in which glucose is broken down into two molecules of pyruvate. As the chemical bonds in glucose are broken, electrons (and hydrogen ions) are picked up by nad+, forming nadh. A net output of two atp molecules are also produced for every glucose molecule processed. But most of the energy released by the breakdown of glucose is carried by the electrons attached to nadh. The pyruvate molecules are modified as they enter the mitochondrion, releasing carbon dioxide. The altered molecules enter the citric acid cycle. More carbon dioxide is released as the citric acid cycle completes the oxidation of glucose. Two atps are formed per glucose, but most of the energy released by the oxidation of glucose is carried by nadh and fadh2.
