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.
g. NAD

TP converted to pyruvate by loosing a phosphate and regenerating ATP
LINK REACTION Pyruvate produced

in the cytoplasm during glycolysis are actively transported to the

matrix of the mitochondria pyruvate is ,
oxidised to acetate loses ,
a CO2 and 2 hydrogens ,
these

are accepted by NAD to form reduced NAD producing ATP

2- carbon acetate combines with co -




enzyme A Goal to produce acetyl coenzyme A

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

2 CO2 and hydrogen to reform the 4-carbon molecule and I ✗ ATP produced due to

substrate level phosphorylation
transfer down electron
OXIDATIVE PHOSPHORYLATION Synthesis of ATP
involving electron
-




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 ,




the final electron acceptor ( without protons and electrons would back





is
oxygen oxygen up

.

,




along the cham 1 from glycolysis and the Krebs cycle ) this would stop
, respiration
Since electrons are passed along a chain with transfer carrier molecules each at slightly lower
energy
levels electrons down be released
: move an
energy gradient so
energy can more usefully

A-level Revision

Hi! I\'m a student currently about to start at the University of Leeds to study Medicine. At A-levels I took Chemistry, Biology and Maths and received 3 As. Throughout studying I made extensive revision notes using my iPad which are neat and handwritten so have decided to pass them on through selling them on this account. I hope my notes can help someone as much as they helped me through my A-levels.
