Aerobic respiration takes place in three steps: Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm. Krebs cycle occurs in the mitochondrial matrix. And oxydative phosphorilation that occurs in the internal mitochondrial membrane.
------------------------------
Through cellular respiration cells degrade organic compounds and produce energy.
Aerobic respiration takes place in three steps or stages: Glycolysis, Krebs cycle and oxydative phosphorilation.
Glycolysis ⇒ Occurs in the cytosol
- Process through which the cell partially decomposes glucose and turns it into pyruvate.
- These enzymatic reactions do need no oxygen to occur.
- So this step is shared by aerobic and anaerobic respiration.
- Glycolysis transforms one glucose molecule (6-C) into two pyruvate molecules (3-C).
- The net product of glycolusis are two pyruvate molecules (3-C), two ATP, and two NADH.
The Krebs cycle ⇒ takes place in the mitochondria matrix.
- Pyruvate, the main product of glycolisis, enters the mitochondria matrix and turns into Acetyl CoA.
- Once in the matrix, it enters the Krebs cycle.
- Each cycle consumes one Acetyl CoA molecule, releases two carbon dioxide molecules, and produces three NADH, one FADH₂, and one ATP molecule.
- Since two molecules of pyruvate are produced during glycolysis, the krebs cycle occurs twice per glucose molecule.
Oxidative phosphorilation
- Electron transporter chain is placed in the internal mitochondrial membrane
- The process uses electrons from NADH and FADH₂ to produce ATP.
- Different redox reactions occur to pass electrons along the chain.
- At the end of the chain, electrons are sent to O₂ molecules, which also receive protons to create water molecules.
- Four electrons are needed to produce two water molecules from one O₂ molecule.
- The proton gradient is used to produce ATP molecules.
According to this theoretical framework, we can complete the table.
