Cell Respiration
Basic concepts
-
It happends in the same chemical reaction, while one compound looses electrons the other one gains them.
-
When ATP is hydrolyzed, the external phosphate is broken libertating a Pi
NAD, NADH are cofactor in redox reactions
-
Coenzyme A (CoA) donate or accept electrons durng the reaction, in this case transfering the acetyl group -COCH3
Acetyl Coenzyme A
-
-
Acts like a transfering agent in the Krebs Cycle, transfers fatty acids derivates
Glycolisis
Breaking Sugar
-
-
For each molecule of glucose that is being broken down to 2 pyruvates, two molecules of ATP are formed 2 NADH are also formed can be anaerobic or aerobic
-
Krebs Cycle
-
-
Acetyl CoA combines with a 4-C compound to produce citric acid, a 6-C compound
The citric acid undergoes a decarboxylation reaction which removes carbon dioxide and a series of oxidation reactions which remove hydrogen ions and electrons.
Each glucose molecule produced 2 molecules of pyruvate and so 2 olecules of a Acetyl CoA, the yield per glucose for the Krebs cycle is: 4 CO2, 2 FADH2, 6 NADH, 2 ATP
