- Aerobic respiration
- 1- Glycolysis
- Glucose is phosphorylated by adding 2 phosphate molecules, in order to make it more reactive
- This creates 2 triose phosphate molecules and 2 molecules of ADP
- The triose phosphate molecules are oxidised, forming 2 pyruvate molecules
- the 2 H atoms are collected by NAD, forming NADH
- 4 ATP are produced, ut 2 are used (so net gain = 2)
- the 2 pyruvate molecules go to mitochondrial matrix for link reaction.

- 2- Link reaction
- Pyruvate molecules are actively transported into mitochondrial matrix.
- Pyruvate are oxidised and decarboxylated
- Nad collects H atom to form NADH, CO2 is released as a waste product.
- This results in pyruvate being converted to acetate, which is then combined with CoenzymeA to form AcetylCoA.
- Nad collects H atom to form NADH, CO2 is released as a waste product.
- This cycle happens twice for every glucose molecule.
- 3- The Krebs cycle
- AcetylCoA from link reaction combines wth 4c molecule to produce 6c molecule. CoenzymeA goes back to link reaction to be reused.
- The 6c molecule is converted into a 5c molecule via oxidation, a C molecule is removed in the form of CO2 and a H molecule is removd to form NADH.
- The 5c molecule is converted to a 4c molecule, redox reactions occur, producing one molecule of FADH and 2 NADH , giving a 4c molecule
- ATP is produced by the direct transfer of a phosphate group from an intermediate to ADP.
- ~The 4c molecule is then used to combine with a new molecule of AcetylCoA.

- 4-Oxidative Phosphorylation
- uses 2 NADH molecules from glycolysis.
- H atoms are released from NADH and FADH as they're oxidised to NAD and FAD. these H atoms split into protons and electrons.
- The electrons move along the ETC, the e's lose energy at each carrier. This energy is used by by e' carriers to pump protons into intermembrane space
- The concentration of protons is now higher in intermembrane space than in mitochondrial matrix, so forkms electrochemical gradient
- Protons move down electrochemical gradient, back into mitochondrial matrix via ATP synthase, which synthesises ATP from ADP +Pi.
- (This is chemiosmosis)
- At the end of the ETC, H+, e' and O2 combine to form H2O. oxygen is said to be the final electron acceptor.
