PRESENTATION OUTLINE
ATP consists of adenine, a ribosome, and 3 phosphate groups. Energy is released when the bond between two phosphate groups is broken and one phosphate group disconnects. It is then called ADP.

This is what an ATP bond looks like.
GLYCOLYSIS
GLYCOLYSIS IS THE FIRST STAGE OF RELEASING ENERGY.
When glycolysis happens, glucose is broken down, which results in 2 NADH and 2 Pyruvates.

Fermentation happens if there is no oxygen. It frees up some NAD+.

The Kreb's cycle is the second stage of releasing energy. From Pyruvates, 2 ATP are created per glucose molecule. Energy is created in mitochondria.

The Electron Transport Chain is the third stage of energy release. 34 ATP electrons from the Kreb's cycle work as a pump to create a cycle of protons moving in and out of the mitochondrion membrane.
