  • Respiration
    • Metabolic Processes
      • Anabolism
      • Catabolism
      • Active Transport
      • Secretion
      • DNA replication
      • Muscle Contraction
      • Activation of Chemicals e.g. Glucose is phosphorylated in glycolysis
    • ATP
      • Phosphorylated Nucleotide
      • Adenine
        • Ribose Sugar
          • Adenosine
            • Adenosine mono-, di-, triphosphate
      • Can be hydrolysed to ADP + Pi
        • Reversible Reaction
          • Small manageable amounts of energy that won't harm the cell
          • When work needs to be done inside a cell a Pi group can be broken off releasing energy
    • Coenzymes
      • NAD
        • Hydrogen Acceptor
          • Reduced NAD
            • Hydrogen is donated to the electron transport chain
            • Produced in...
              • Glycolysis
                • 2 molecules
              • The Link Reaction
                • 1 molecule per Pyruvate, 2 molecules per Glucose
              • Krebs Cycle
                • 3 molecules of NAD, 1 molecule of FAD per cycle, 6 molecules of NAD 2 molecule of FAD per Glucose
      • CoA
        • Carries acetyl molecules from the link reaction to the Krebs Cycle
          • Can also carry fatty acids into the mitochondrial matrix where they are broken down into acetyl groups which can then enter the Krebs Cycle

      • The Link Reaction
        • Pyruvate is converted into Acetate
          • Acetate combines with Co-enzyme A to form Acetyl Co-enzyme A complex
            • ACoA complex is transported to the Krebs Cycle
