Answer :
- Electrons and h+ ions pop off and are picked up by NADH.
- 1 C is stripped from 3-C PGA and makes Co2.
- Coenzyme A attaches to 2-C molecule making Acetyl Co-A.
- Resulting 3 C molecule is stabilized BEFORE entering the mitochondria.
- Acetyl Co-A enters mitochondria and drops off 2-C molecules.
- In cytosol, 6-C glucose and 2 ATP split into two 3-C molecules (glycolysis).
- 2-C molecule combines with 4-C molecule and breaks into two 3-C molecules
- Krebs cycle spins twice; each time stripping 1 carbon to make Co2 as a by-product.
- With each cycle of Krebs, electrons and H+ ions pop off, are picked up by NADH and FADH2 and taken to ETC
- 4 molecules of ATP are generated.
