Document Summary

Process that generates most of the atp because it is powered by redox reactions. Accounts for almost 90% of the atp generated by cellular respiration. For each molecule of glucose degraded to carbon dioxide and water by respiration cell makes up 32 atp. Some molecules can act as electron carriers on biological systems. In cellular respiration, there are two vital electron carriers. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (nad+ = oxidized form; nadh = reduced form) Flavin adenine dinucleotide (fad = oxidized form; fadh2 = reduced form) Breaks down glucose into 2 molecules of pyruvate in 10-step pathway. Glycolysis occurs whether or not oxygen is present. A net gain of 2 atp at the end of glycolysis. Each step is catalyzed by its own unique enzyme. Atp is being converted to adp, losing a phosphate energy investment phases for steps 1 and 3. In presence of oxygen, pyruvate enters the mitochondrion where oxidation of glucose is completed.
