Document Summary

Electron carrier molecule that carries electrons (energy) Nad+/nadh nad+ stands for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide. It collects/accepts electrons from the stepwise breakdown (series of chemical reactions) of glucose. Electrons collected by nad+ used in the production of atp. Intermembrane space in the mitochondria, between inner and outer membrane. Matrix in the mitochondria, inside both membranes. Glycolysis enzymes break down a molecule of glucose into two molecules of pyruvate. Reactions that lead to the oxidation of six-carbon sugar glucose, producing two molecules of the three carbon compound pyruvate and to the overall synthesis of nadh and atp. Atp synthesis that requires an enzyme that transfers a phosphate group from a high-energy substrate molecule to adenosine diphosphate (adp) producing atp. Citric acid cycle/krebs cycle acetyl coenzyme a (acetyl-coa), formed from the oxidation of pyruvate in the pyruvate oxidation stage, enters a cycle where it is completely oxidized to co2. Coenzyme a formed by the oxidation of of pyruvate.
