Flashcards
0/5
Link Reaction (Pyruvate Oxidation)
Conversion of pyruvate into acetyl-CoA; takes place in the mitochondria.
Electron Transport Chain (ETC)
Electrons are transferred through a chain of proteins in the inner mitochondrial membrane, creating a proton gradient to produce ATP.
Glycolysis
The breakdown of glucose into pyruvate; occurs in the cytoplasm.
Chemiosmosis and ATP Synthesis
Protons flow back into the mitochondrial matrix through ATP synthase, synthesizing ATP from ADP and Pi.
Krebs Cycle (Citric Acid Cycle)
Series of chemical reactions used to release stored energy; happens in the mitochondrial matrix.
