Explore the intricate process of cellular respiration, from the starting molecule to the final ATP production, understanding key stages and molecules involved. Learn about NADH reduction, CO2 stripping, ATP synthesis, and more. Delve into the reasons behind the theoretical and actual yield differences in ATP production. Discover the crucial role of mitochondrial membranes in this energy-generating process.
E N D
The molecule created after the split from 6 carbons to 3, it only lasts for a split second
The process which strips a CO2 off the pyruvate is called this
The product of stage 2 can also be converted into this molecule if energy is not really needed at the time
The number of ATP created by direct (or substrate-level) phosphorylation in this stage
The number of ATP’s made directly in this stage (per molecule of glucose)
The 4-carbon molecule that returns to begin the cycle again and joins with acetyl CoA is called this
This is the number of transmembrane proteins spanning the membrane in the ETC
The number of ATP’s produced for every FADH2 carrier that enters the ETC
The production of ATP by ATP synthase is this type of phosphorylation
The final electron acceptor at the end of the chain is this tiny but essential molecule
This is the main reason why the movement of electrons through the protein chain is able to result in mass production of ATP
This is the number of ATP’s theoretically produced by the presence of one glucose molecule in the cell
Not every NADH molecule results in three ATP’s made by the synthase – this is why
The main reason why the actual yield of ATP’s in the cell is less than the theoretical yield is this problem with the mitochondrial membranes
