GLYCOLYSIS -




Phosphorylation to activate glucose making it more reactive by the addition of 2

phosphates phosphate molecules
, come from the hydrolysis of 2 ATP molecules to ADP ,
this provides
and lowers the activation energy
energy for glucose
Each phosphorylated glucose splits into 2 brose phosphate molecules
Oxidation of TP :
hydrogen removed and transferred to a carrier molecule e.

KREBS CYCLE -
Series of redox reactions taking place in the matrix of mitochondria
2- carbon acetyl CoA combines with 4- carbon molecule to produce a 6- carbon molecule ,
this then loses

carrier molecules in an electron transfer chain

Hydrogen produced during gby costs and the Krebs cycle combine with coenzymes (NAD ,
FA D)
Reduced NAD and FAD donate electrons to the first molecule in
the electron transfer cham

Electrons pass along a chain of electron transfer molecules through redox reactions ,
as the electrons

move down the chain they release
energy causing the
active transport of protons across the inner


mitochondrial membrane and into the inter mitochondrial space -




Protons accumulate in the inter -
mitochondrial space before diffusing back into the mitochondrial matrix

through ATP synalhe channels embedded in the inner mitochondrial membrane
At the end of the chain the electrons combine with these protons and oxygen
to form water ,

Since electrons are passed along a chain with transfer carrier molecules each at slightly lower
energy
