ATP Adenosine triphosphate : The major energy currency of the cell. ATP is a high-energy molecule that stores and transports energy within cells. Glycolysis is the first of the three steps used to breakdown glucose to produce ATP. Glucose, a 6 carbon sugar, is split into two 3 carbon sugars. The 3 carbon sugars are then oxidized and their remaining atoms reaarranged to form two molecules of pyruvate. Preparatory phase : Energy in glucose cannot be readily released unless energy from ATP if added first.
In this phase, 2 ATP are added to the reaction, producing a glucose molecule with two phosphate groups. The phosphate groups make glucose less stable and ready for chemical breakdown. Payoff phase : Investment of energy in prepatory phase is paid back with interest!
The end product of Glycolysis, pyruvate, is transported into the mitochondrion and converted to a compound called acetyl coenzyme A or acetyl CoA. The Krebs Cycle consists of nine enzyme-catalyzed reactions that can be divided into 3 stages:. Acetyl CoA binds a four carbon molecule oxaloacetate producing a six carbon molecule citrate. The mitochondrial electron transport cchain is similar to that used in chloroplasts for photosynthesis. If you've found an issue with this question, please let us know.

Hanley Rd, Suite St. Louis, MO Subject optional. Email address: Your name:. Example Question 1 : Nadh And Fadh2. Possible Answers: Krebs cycle only. Correct answer: glycolysis and Krebs cycle. Explanation : The coenzymes being referred to are and. Report an Error.
Example Question 2 : Nadh And Fadh2. Possible Answers: Two. Correct answer: Four. Explanation : Four total molecules of ATP are produced during glycolysis.
Example Question 3 : Nadh And Fadh2. Succinyl-CoA synthetase II. Succinate dehydrogenase III. Mitochondrial glycerolphosphate dehydrogenase 2 IV. Possible Answers: I and II. Explanation : In the citric acid cycle, succinate dehydrogenase converts succinate to fumarate with the production also of a molecule of flavin adenine dinucleotide that supplies electrons to the electron transport chain.
The end result is loads of energy, approximately 34 ATP energy molecule. How many electrons does ubiquinone carry? Is NADH 2. To pass the electrons from NADH to last Oxygen acceptor,total of 10 protons are transported from matrix to inter mitochondrial membrane. What is the difference between NADH and nadh2? What are the three electron carriers? Oxidation-reduction reactions always happen in matched pairs; no molecule can be oxidized unless another is reduced.
Flavin Adenine Dinucleotide. Flavin adenine dinucleotide, or FAD, consists of riboflavin attached to an adenosine diphosphate molecule. Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide. Coenzyme Q. Cytochrome C. The NADH moves to the electron transport chain and donates a pair of electrons becomes oxidized to the first compound in the chain.
