Glycolysis

This step takes place in the cytoplasm, and does not require oxygen
(anaerobic)

NADH a coenzyme that has the ability to transfer electrons which will be
very useful in making more ATP in the next step.

Intermediate step / Preparatory Reaction

Pyruvate are transported by active transport into the mitochondria, (matrix)

The pyruvate are oxidized and converted into 2 acetyle CoA, which will be
used in next step

CO2 is released and 2 NADH produced

Krebs Cycle / Citric Acid Cycle

Still in matrix, aerobic process

Inputs: acetle CoA

The remaining carbons from the initial glucose are oxidized, Co2 is
released, produced 2 ATP, 6 NADH, 2 FADH

FADH is also an coenzyme, that will assist in transferring of electrons to

make more ATP.

ELECTRON TRANSPORT CHAIN

Mitochondria are double membrane bound organelles that act as the power
plants of the cell. It has its own DNA and ribosomes.
The parts of mitochondria are the outer membrane, the intermembrane
space, the inner membrane, cristae, the matrix, and ATP synthase.
The mitochondria is responsible for the production of ATP, apoptosis,
storing calcium, and heat production.
Cellular respiration takes place in both the cytosol and mitochondria of
cells. Glycolysis takes place in the cytosol (cytoplasm), whereas pyruvate
oxidation, the Krebs cycle, and ETC and Chemiomosis (oxidative
phosphorylation) occur in the mitochondrion.
There are three main steps of cellular respiration: glycolysis; the citric acid
(TCA) or the Krebs cycle; and the electron transport chain, where oxidative
phosphorylation occurs. The TCA cycle and oxidative phosphorylation
require oxygen, while glycolysis can occur in anaerobic conditions.
