    The Citric Acid Cycle starts after the glycolysis cycle produces the acetyl CoA compound. The Coenzyme A is removed and the remaining carbon skeleton is attached to another 4-carbon molecule. The new 6-carbon chain releases carbon dioxide. Two ATP’s are produced during this process for each molecule of glucose. The end result of the citric acid cycle is 4 CO molecules, 6 NADH molecules, 2 ATP molecules and 2 FADH2 molecules. The process is part of the conversion of carbs, fats, and proteins into carbon dioxide and water; which is usable energy.…

    Cellular respiration is divided into three different stages. Glycolysis, the first stage of cellular respiration, splits simple carbohydrates such as glucose into two molecules of ATP, two molecules of pyruvic acid, and two electron carried that have high energy that are known as NADH. This part of cellular respiration does not need oxygen, therefore ATP can be created by glycolysis, but it only makes a small amount and this method is not the most efficient method. The next stage in cellular respiration is the Citric Acid Cycle. This stage commences when the two pyruvate acids are converted into acetyl CoA. This pyruvate oxidation will produce 2 NADH and then the acetyl CoA will enter…

    Aerobic cellular respiration is a pivotal process in which organisms carry out in order to sustain life. It is characterized by the release of energy from organic compounds by means of chemical oxidation within the mitochondria of the cell. The reactants are glucose and oxygen, and after a series of complex steps, the products of carbon dioxide, water, and ATP + heat are released. Thus, cellular respiration is an exergonic process, since heat energy is released in order to do cellular work. The overall process can be encapsulated by the following equation: C6H12O6 + CO2 6CO2+ 6H2O+ 586 kilocalories of energy/mole of glucose oxidized. This reaction seems very straightforward, however there are numerous enzyme-mediated reactions that occur within it that are not so perceptible from the simplified equation. Cellular respiration consists of three major stages: The first is Glycolysis; (occurring in the cytosol) in which chemical energy is harvested by oxidizing glucose into two 3 carbon molecules of pyruvate, and thus producing a net of 2 ATP molecules through substrate-level phosphorylation, as well as a net of 2 NADH molecules. Subsequently, the Krebs Cycle commences after 2 pyruvate molecules are converted to 2 Acetyl CoA molecules in the intermembrane space of the mitochondria. During the Krebs Cycle (occurring in the mitochondrial matrix)4 CO2 molecules are released, 1 ATP molecule is formed (for each turn of the cycle), and the reduced forms of 6 NADH and 2 FADH carry the electrons to the next step: the Electron Transport Chain. This occurs in the inner membrane of the mitochondria, and consists of many electron carriers that pass electrons (donated by NADH and FADH2) along through a series of redox reactions. At the end of the chain, oxygen acts as a final electron acceptor and it reduced them to form water. A proton motive force, or H+ gradient,…

    Cellular respiration includes the processes of glycolysis, krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain. Glycolysis is used to convert glucose to produce two pyruvate as well as 4 ATP’s and 2 NADH but uses 2 ATP to have a net product of 2 ATP and 2 NADH. The krebs cycle converts pyruvate to Acetyl CoA, which produces 2 ATP,8 NADH, and 2 FADH’s per glucose molecule. Electron transport Chain is the last and most important step of cellular respiration, it makes ATP with the movement of electrons from high energy to low energy that makes a proton gradient which makes ATP, this cannot occur unless oxygen is present. Fermentation is an anaerobic process in which converts sugars into acids, alcohol, or alcohol. This process occurs in yeast and bacteria as well as muscle cells that have no oxygen left. In yeast fermentation produces ethyl alcohol and carbon dioxide from glucose and fructose. Fermentation in bacteria cells the process of fermentation produces ethanol, while in human muscle cells fermentation produces lactic acid in cells that have a short…

    Cellular respiration is an ATP-producing catabolic process in which the electron receiver is an inorganic molecule. It is the release of energy from organic compounds by chemical oxidation in the mitochondria within each cell. Carbohydrates, proteins, and fats can all be metabolized, but cellular respiration usually involves glucose: C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + 686 Kcal of energy/mole of glucose oxidized. Cellular respiration involves glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain. Glycolysis is a catabolic pathway that occurs in the cytosol and partially oxidizes glucose into two pyruvate (3-C). The Krebs cycle occurs in the mitochondria and breaks down a pyruvate (Acetyl-CoA) into carbon dioxide. These two cycles both produce a small amount of ATP by substrate-level phosphorylation and NADH by transferring electrons from substrate to NAD+. The Krebs cycle also produces FADH2 by transferring electrons to FAD. The electron transport chain is located at the inner membrane of the mitochondria and accepts energized electrons from enzymes that are collected during glycolysis and the Krebs cycle, and…

    Anaerobic pathways only require the process of glycolysis to produce energy. Anaerobic pathways are found outside the mitochondria within the cytoplasm of the cell, with a low efficiency of 4%. These pathways require glucose, ATP, adolase, fructokinase, dehydrogenase, and NAD+. Out of one glucose molecule, major products include two net ATP, two NADH, and two pyruvate molecules. The latter can be produced without the use of an aerobic process, such as the Krebs cycle. The two pyruvates eventually get produced into either the painful lactic acid, or ethyl alcohol (fermentation).…
