HOW ATP RELEASES ENERGY

• ATP releases energy by breaking phosphate bonds

GLYCOLYSIS

• The metabolic breakdown of glucose and other sugars
• that releases energy in the form of ATP.

FERMENTATION

• Fermentation complements glycolysis and makes it possible
• for ATP to be continually produced in the absence for oxygen.

KREB'S CYCLE

• is the central metabolic pathway in all aerobic organisms.
• The cycle is a series of eight reactions that occur in the mitochondrion.
• acetyl CoA + 3 NAD + FAD + ADP + HPO4-2 ---------------> 2 CO2 + CoA + 3 NADH+ + FADH+ + ATP

ELECTRON TRANSPORT CHAIN

• is a series of compounds that transfer electrons from electron donors to electron
• acceptors via redox reactions, and couples this electron transfer with the
• transfer of (H+ ions) across a membrane.
