|
Enzyme and rate of reaction relationship
|
As the substrate concentration increases so does the reaction rate because there is more substrate for the enzyme react with.
|

|
Glycolysis
|
A six-carbon glucose molecule is split in half to form two molecules of pyruvic acid. These two molecules then donate high energy electrons to NAD+ forming NADH. It uses two ATP molecules per glucose to split the six carbon glucose. Makes four additional ATP directly when enzymes transfer phosphate groups. Net gain of two ATP.
|
|
Citric Acid Cycle
|
In this step of aerobic respiration, the ATP is ready to release the energy stored in the molecular bonds of pyruvates.
|
|
Electron Transport Chain
|
In this step, these high energy electrons are again used to convert ADP into ATP. This chain consists of a network of electron-carrying proteins which are present in the inner membrane of the cell, mitochondrion. Electrons are transferred from one place to another by the proteins.
