How Cells Harvest Energy from Food
Review
Metabolism
involves the
transformation
of
energy into
energy in living things, and comprises
and cellular
.
Cellular
respiration
is composed of two stages:
occurs in the
and
occurs in
.
In
glycolysis,
is broken down into two three-carbon
molecules, yielding a net of
molecules of ATP per glucose.
Review:
The pyruvates are passed into the
where they are
converted
into
, which enters the
cycle (citric acid cycle).
In the
Krebs
cycle, each pyruvate molecule yields
molecule of ATP, and several electron carrier molecules of
and FADH
2
.
Review:
The energy stored in
and FADH
2
is harvested by the electron
transport
(ETC) to make
by
chemiosmosis.
Review:
In
conditions, glycolysis is
followed
by
, which regenerates the electron receptor NAD
+
, and allows
to continue generating ATP.
Other macromolecules such as
and
can also enter cellular respiration via different
pathways.
