Glycolysis occurs in all cells and is an ongoing process.
­Occurs in the cytoplasm
­Anaerobic
­When oxygen is available the products of glycolysis will be used in cellular respiration.
Process:
1. 2 ATP molecules energize the glucose molecule.
2. Glucose molecule is split into 2 three­carbon molecules.
3. Energized electrons from the three­carbon molecules are transferred to NAD+, which forms NADH (just another electron carrier).
4. A series of reactions converts the three­carbon molecules to PYRUVATE, which enters cellular respiration.
5. 4 ATP molecules are made.
Do the math: If 2 ATP molecules are needed to start glycolysis and only 4 are produced, how many are actually gained?
The pyruvate and the NADH are used for cellular respiration, if oxygen is present.

Krebs Cycle
1. Pyruvate is broken down
­Split into a two­carbon molecule and a molecule of CO2 is released.
­Electrons are transferred from the two­carbon molecule to NAD+ to make NADH
­The NADH moves to the electron transport chain.
2. Coenzyme A
­An intermediate molecule is formed from Coenzyme A and the two­carbon molecules from step 1.
3. Citric Acid is formed
­ A six­ carbon molecule called Citric Acid is formed.
4. Citric acid is broken down
­Creates a five­carbon molecule
­ This produces NADH and moves out of the Krebs cycle
­A molecule of CO2 is given off
5. Five­carbon molecule is broken down
­A four­carbon molecule is formed
­NADH and a molecule of ATP are produced
­NADH leaves the Krebs cycle ­A molecule of CO2 is given off.
6. Four­carbon molecule is rearranged
­Molecules of NADH and FADH2 (another electron carrier) are made and leave the Krebs Cycle.
Products from one molecule of Pyruvate
­3 molecules of CO2
­1 molecule of ATP
­4 molecules of NADH sent to the electron transport chain
­1 molecule of FADH2 sent to the electron transport chain

Electron Transport Chain
­Occurs in the inner membrane of the mitochondria
­Made up of proteins
­Use energy supplied by NADH and FADH2
1. Electrons removed
­Take high­energy electrons from NADH and FADH
2
­Need to use 2 molecules of NADH and 1 molecule of FADH2
2. Hydrogen Ions Transported
­Proteins use energy from the electrons to pump hydrogen ions against the concentration gradient. (just
like photosynthesis)
­Causes a build up of hydrogen ions inside the inner membrane.
3. ATP produced
­Hydrogen ions diffuse through a protein channel which is part of ATP synthase
­ATP synthase adds phosphate groups to ADP to make ATP
­For every pair of electrons, 3 ATP are produced.
4. Water formed
­Oxygen enters cellular respiration
­Picks up electrons and hydrogen ions to become water
­Water is given off
Products of Cellular Respiration (including glycolysis)
­CO2
­H2O
­Up to 38 molecules of ATP for every glucose molecule
­2 from glycolysis, 2 from the Krebs cycle and up to 34 from electron transport chain
