Table 2: Cellular Respiration (48 pts, 3 pts per blank) Glycolysis Acetyl-CoA Formation Krebs Cycle Electron Transport Chain Where it takes place Cytoplasm The mitochondrion The mitochondrion Occurs at the inner mitochondrial membrane Purpose Convert glucose and other sugars to pyruvate It provides the acetyl group for energy synthesis in the Krebs cycle The purpose of the Krebs cycle is to produce high-energy electron carriers (NADH and FADH) and ATP while also releasing carbon dioxide as a waste product. It plays a key role in energy production during cellular respiration. To create a hydrogen ion gradient that can be used to generate ATP Inputs Glucose, NAD+, and ADP Pyruvate, Coenzyme A and NAD+ Acetyl-CoA, NAD+, ADP NADH, H+, ADP, FADH2, O2 Outputs Yields 2 NADH, 2 ATP (net), and 2 pyruvates for each glucose molecule Outputs are 2 acetyl-CoA molecules and 2 NADH, and CO2 2 CO2, 3 NADH, 1 FADH2, 1 ATP per acetyl-CoA. Coenzyme A is released to be reused. H20, ATP
