Vocab Cellular respiration- the oxidation of organic compounds to extract energy from chemical bonds. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide- a molecule that becomes reduced to NADH as it carries high energy electrons. Aereobic respiration- the process that results in the complete oxidation of glucose. Anaerobic respiration- The use of electron transport to generate a protein gradient. Electron transport chain- the electrons are passed to another set of electron carriers. Glycolysis- the initial breakdown of glucose. ATP Synthase- An enzyme that synthesizes ATP.

Glycolysis Priming changes glucose into an easily cleaved form - Step A: Glucose priming - Step B: Cleavage and rearrangement ATP is synthesized by substrate-level phosphorylation - Step C: Oxidation - Step D: ATP generation

Glycolysis: The Reactions

Krebs Cycle The Krebs cycle uses the two molecules of pyruvic acid formed in glycolysis and yields high-energy molecules of NADH and flavin adenine dinucleotide (FADH), as well as some ATP

Krebs Cycle

Electron Transport Chain The electron transport chain produces a proton gradient. The gradient forms as electrons move through electron carriers. Chemiosmosis utilizes the electrochemical gradient to produce ATP. ATP synthesis is a molecular rotary motor.
