| |
Respiration |
generate energy from glucose |
| |
Glycolosis |
beginning step of respiration, happens in cytoplasm, cuts glucose molecules in half from C6 to 2C3 called pyrovate |
| |
kreb cycle |
second step, mito matrix. from C4 to C6 to C5 to C4. burns pyrovate and gives off CO2 and then hydrogens NADH and FADH produced |
| |
oxidative phosphorolation |
third step, occurs in mito innermembrane. NADH and FADH give hydrogens and electrons to electron tranfer chain. cheniosmotic theory applied,takes hydrogen ions (protons) and pumps across inner membrane, uses energy from ETC. ATPase lets protons flood through and creats water |
| |
electron transfer chain |
made of flavoproteins and cytochromes. passes electrons down chain from carrier to carrier generate energy |
