Document Summary

Each glucose molecule is broken down into two 3c pyruvate molecules. 4 atp molecules are produced, but 2 are used up in the process. 2 nadh molecules are formed via reduction of nad. Pyruvate enters mitochondria and is oxidized completely to co2. Broken down in a process called oxidative decarboxylation. For each pyruvate molecule; 4nadh, 1fadh2 and 1atp produced. Carbon dioxide is released as a waste product. Atp is produced here via substrate level phosphorylation. Nadh and fadh2 are oxidized, passing electrons down the electron transport chain. A proton gradient is also produced from the lost h+ from oxidation of the nadh and. The protons moving back into the mitochondria drives phosphorylation of adp to. Chemoautotrophs (bacteria) obtain energy usually by oxidizing reduced forms of chemicals such as h2s and nh4. Light energy is used to form nadph and atp. Excited electrons enter the primary electron acceptor. Water molecule is split into hydrogen ions and oxygen gas.
