Document Summary

Couples electron transport to atp synthesis: glycolysis and the citric acid cycle, produce only 4. Atp molecules per glucose molecule, all by substrate- level phosphorylation. 2 atp from the citric acid cycle: nadh (and fadh2) account for most of the energy extracted from each glucose molecule. These electron escorts link glycolysis and the citric acid cycle to the machinery of oxidative phosphorylation, which uses energy released by the electron transport chain to power atp synthesis. Tightly bound to these proteins are prosthetic groups. Nonprotein components essential for the catalytic function of certain enzymes. Explain the path of the electrons through the various complexes. General biology cellular respiration: drop in free energy as electrons travel down the chain, during the electron transport along the chain, electron carriers alternate between reduced and oxidized states as they accept and then donate electrons. Each component of the chain becomes reduced when it accepts electrons from its.
