Definition
Breakdown of glucose or glycogen to form two molecules of pyruvic acid or lactic acid. It transfers bond energy from glucose to rejoin Pi to ADP. Occurs in Sarcoplasm.

|
Definition
4. the two G3P's get oxidized (removing H+). (NAD+ takes the electron to become NADH). Followed by another phosphorylation to make high energy BPG (two of them!)
5. ADP takes the high energized p bond to make ATP and 3PG (two of them each!)
6. Water is removed, oxidizing, making 2 high energy PEP molecules
7. ADP takes the energy to make 2 ATPs

|
Definition
Krebs Cycle- complete the oxidation of substrates, NAD and FAD become hydrogen carriers, and NADH and FADH enter the ETC
Electron Transport Chain- oxidative phosphorylation, electrons removed from NADH and FADH are passed along a series of carriers to produce ATP, and H+ from NADH and FADH are accepted by O2 to form water |
