no O2, doesnt occur in our cells

occurs in muscle cells that doesn't have enough oxygen to break down to pyruvate

pyruvate is "Stored" as lactic acid until enough oxygen is available

no ATP generated

Definition

harvests energy stored in 2 pyruvates

occurs in mitochondrion

requires oxygen

3 steps: conversion reacton, Kreb cycle, Electron Transport chain

loses a carbon (CO2)

picks up guide Coenzyme-A

Term
Kreb Cycle (Citric Acid Cycle)

occurs in mitochondrial matrix

2 carbins eneter, 2 leave

1 ATP per pyruvate= 2ATPs

Energy is in NADH and FADH2

Term
So where is all the ATP?
Definition

after Kreb cycle, most of the energy that was in pyruvate has been converted to high energy electrons carried by NADH and FADH2

thes ewill be used to make ATP in Electron Transport Chain

Term
The Electron Transport Chain
Definition

series of special proteins on inner mitochondrial membrane

they are "special" because they are able to accept/donate electrons

Term
How Electron Transport Chain works?
Definition

-NADH and FADH2 pass electrons to carriers on electron transport chain

-as electrons are passed from one carrier to the next, some energy is used to pump H+ from matrix to intermembrane space

-intermembrane space becomes a resorvoir of H+

-the H+ are funneled back through a special protein called ATP synthase generating ATP
