Basic overall equation of energy metabolism in human cell? |
C6H12O6 + 6O2 = 36ATP + 6CO2 + 6H2O |
|
Glycolysis |
Occurs in the cytosol of cell Nets 2 molecules of ATP Converts molecule of glucose into 2 molecules of pyruvic acid (pyruvate) Provides hydrogen ions to electron carries for ETS in form of 2 NADH molecules |
|
TCA Cycle (Kerbs or Citric acid cycle) |
Occurs in mitochondrial matrix Produces 2 ATP Provides hydrogen ions for electrons carries for ETS in form of NADH & FADH2 molecules Produces carbon dioxide as waste |
|
Electron transport system (ETS or ET chain) |
Occurs at enzymes in mitochondrial cristae Produces 32 ATP Consumes oxygen to form water with the H+ from NADH & FADH2 from glycolysis and TCA |
