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