Glycolysis in the cytoplasm
Makes two ATP anaerobically
Starts with 6-carbon glucose molecule
Breaks it down to 2 3-Carbon sugar
In the end 2 pyruvate molecules
2 NAD+ to 2 NADH
(Chorus:)
This is cellular respiration
A biological exploration
Altogether 38 ATP
So that we can be
No oxygen now we go down... the anaerobic pathaway
Well there's lactic-acid fermentation
Add 2 H+ and 2 NADH too
As a product 2 NAD+ and 2 lactic acid
Then there's alcoholic fermentation
Same as lactic acid 'cept for two things
The products: 2 CO2 and ethyl alcohol
(Chorus:)
Back to aerobic respiration, next is the wonderful cycle of Krebs
To prepare for that step, pyruvate to acetate by removing 2 CO2
Now acetic acid to acetyl CoA by reducing NAD+ to NADH and adding CoA
Then through the cycle two times two times, products are 4CO2 2FADH2 2 ATP 6 NADH
Krebs Cycle fully oxidizes glucose in the matrix, then goes to ETC
(Chorus:)
Electron transport chain in the cristae
Products are 34 ATP and 1 H2O
The NADHs and FADH2s now ATP
Oxygen being the final electron acceptor
i understand.
