or more molecule of pyruvate a Glucose pyruvate b Occurs in cytosol c As the chemical bonds are broken on the glucose electrons and hydrogen ions are picked up by NADH forming NADH d Glucose oxidized

of glucose is carried by electrons attached to NADH g All of the reactions of glycolysis are catalyzed by soluble enzymes located in the cytosol of the cell None of the enzymes is associated with membranes Pyruvate molecules are modified entering mitochondrion release CO2 altered molecules enter citric acid cycle 2 Citric acid cycle series of reactions with 8 steps that completes the metabolic breakdown of glucose molecules to CO2 a More CO2 released as oxidation of glucose is completed b 2 ATPs formed per glucose c Most energy is released by oxidation of glucose carried by NADH and FADH2 d Occurs in mitochondrion e 2nd major step in cellular respiration f The citric acid cycle transfers electrons to NADH and FADH2 NADH FADH2 molecules produced donate the electron transport chain 3 Oxidative phosphorylation the production of ATP using energy derived from the redox reactions of an electron transport chain a End of chain oxygen exerts strong pull on electrons combines with them hydrogen ions protons forms H2O b Transport chain converts chemical energy of moving electrons to a form that can be used to drive oxidative phosphorylation this produces about 34 ATP molecules for each glucose molecule consumed c In oxidative phosphorylation the last stage of cellular respiration energy released from the oxidation of NADH and FADH2 is used to produce ATP from ADP and free inorganic phosphate Pi ions 4 Oxygen is the final electron acceptor of cellular respiration C Cellular Respiration 2 of 5 Glycolysis In glycolysis the first stage of cellular respiration one molecule of glucose is oxidized to two molecules of pyruvate with the production of ATP and NADH Reactions involved in the production of NADH redox oxidationreduction reactions Play a key role in cellular respiration Also pay attention to the mechanism by which ATP is synthesized Think about how ATP synthesis at this stage differs from ATP synthesis during oxidative phosphorylation where most of the ATP in cellular respiration is made A In glycolysis as in all the stages of cellular respiration the transfer of electrons from electron donors to electron acceptors plays a critical role in the overall conversion of the energy in foods to energy in ATP These reactions involving electron transfers are known as oxidation reduction or redox reactions a When a compound donates loses electrons that compound becomes oxidized Such a compound is often referred to as an electron donor b When a compound accepts gains electrons that compound becomes reduced Such a compound is often referred to as an electron acceptor c B Among the products of glycolysis which compounds contain energy that can be used by other biological reactions C The ATP that is generated in glycolysis is produced by substrate level phosphorylation a very different mechanism than the one used to produce ATP during oxidative phosphorylation Phosphorylation reactions involve the addition of a phosphate group to another molecule D Glycolysis 1 How many NADH are produced by glycolysis 2 In glycolysis ATP molecules are produced by 3 Which of these is NOT a product of glycolysis 4 In glycolysis what starts the process of glucose oxidation 5 In glycolysis there is a net gain of ATP Follow Up quiz 1 What is the free energy change G of the hydrolysis of ATP to ADP a The free energy change G of the hydrolysis
