Respiration Complete Notes

Glycolysis

• Occurs in the cytoplasm of cels
• 1. Glucose phosphorylated using 2 ATP
• 2. Phosphorylated Glucose splits into 2 TP
• 3. Two TP oxidated, resulting in 2 molecules of pyruvate, 4 ATP and 2 reduced NAD
• Net gain fo 2 ATP

Link Reaction

• Occurs in matrix of mitochondria
• 1. Pyruvate oxidised, reducing NAD
• 2. Pyruvate decarboxylated, producing CO2
• 3. Acetate + CoenzymeA = AcetylCoA

Krebs Cycle

• Occurs in matrix of mitochondria
• 1. AcetylCoA combines with 4C molecule to form 6C molecule
• 2. 6C molecule decarboxylated -…
