Document Summary

Multiple reactions in 3 distinct pathways or phases glycolysis pyruvate oxidation and krebs cycle electron transport and oxidative phosphorylation (chemiosmosis) Phase 1 in the path of making atp from glucose: Starts with a 6-carbon sugar (glucose), ends with two 3-carbon molecules (pyruvate) Pathway is actually endergonic up to production of first 3-carbon molecules (uses cell"s store of atp) Occurs in the cytoplasm of all living cells. 3 steps are exergonic energy harnessed and saved for later: Problems at the end of glycolysis: molecules still are not at their lowest energy state, some of our energy is being held in nadh, nad+ is being used up and not replaced. It depends on the presence or absence of oxygen and/or a terminal electron acceptor. If oxygen is present, cells will undergo aerobic respiration. If oxygen is absent but an alternative terminal electron acceptor exists, cells undergo anaerobic respiration. If oxygen is absent and no terminal electron acceptor exists, cells will undergo fermentation.
