glycolysis
what is glycolysis
literally means “splitting sugar”
conversion of glucose (6 carbon sugar) into 2 molecules of pyruvate (3 carbon sugar)
all intermediates between glucose and pyruvate are phosphorylated by enzymes
pyruvate is converted into acetyl-coenzyme A (Acetyl-CoA) which then enters the citric acid cycle
under aerobic conditions glucose is oxidized into pyruvate – Kreb’s cycle
under anaerobic conditions glucose is oxidized into pyruvate – converted into lactate (lactic acid)
reactions of glycolysis take place in the cytosol

takes place in the matrix and inner membrane of the mitochondria
as these compounds form – 2 ATP are produced
these compounds are capable of storing high energy electrons in the form of NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide)
as the cycle runs NAD+ is reduced to form NADH and H+ (gains electrons)
this NADH will then enter the electron transport chain
while this cycle only runs in the presence of oxygen – no oxygen is used
NADH = electron carrier
NAD+ is capable of adding one H+ and 2 electrons

NADH
Processs of Electron Transport Chain
protons are pumped from the matrix into the space between the inner and outer mitochondrial membranes by enzyme complexes
in addition, electrons are transferred from these complexes to oxygen eventually forming water and carbon dioxide
protons are taken from NADH and pumped across the inner mitochondrial membrane by NADH dehydrogenase
at the same time electrons are moved from NADH dehydrogenase to cytochrome c reductase (by Q = ubiquinone)
cytochrome c reductase pumps more protons (from water) across the membrane and more electrons are transferred to cytochrome c oxidase (by cytochrome c)
cytochrome c oxidase also pumps more protons (taken from water)
this creates a proton gradient = energy
as protons flow down their gradient back into the matrix, they pass through an enzyme called ATP synthase – which synthesizes ATP
What pumps the proton taken from NADH to inner mitochondrial membrane
