Document Summary

Oxidative phosphorylation is entirely dependent on oxygen. Glycolysis has a net gain of 2 molecules of pyruvate, w/ a gain of 2 atp and 2 nadh. In the citric acid cycle, we remove the 2 carbons as carbon dioxide. All the energy that is left is contained in nadh and fadh2. When the cyclist is not pedaling, is glucose still being used: no, because she is no longer exercising, yes, because she still needs atp to breathe, think, stay warm, etc. At this point all carbon has been oxidized into carbon dioxide. All of the remaining energy is held in nadh and fadh2, which accept and donate electrons. This energy is passed along the etc by many redox reactions. Oxygen is the final electron acceptor, which eventually produces water. This contains a double membrane, used to create a proton motive force. Process of etc moves the protons into the intermembrane space.
