I don't know why I have so much energy today! Maybe because I ate so much.
Then we move on with Glycolysis, here, glucose is broken down into pyruvic acid by enzymes, this process takes place in the cytoplasm. The net yield of glycolysis is 2 ATP, 2 Pyruvate, and 2 NADH.
Okay, sure smarty! haha
Want me to tell you a story about how we get energy from food?
Cellular Respiration is the process in which breaks down gluclose to create ATP. The energy can then be made into kinetic energy
Photosythesis Equation: 6CO2 + 6H20 + (energy) → C6H12O6 + 6O2 Carbon dioxide + water + energy from light produces glucose and oxygen
Photosynthesis is the process in which plants and other organisms use sunlight to synthesize food from carbon dioxide/water.
Chloroplast
It all starts with the sun and photosynthesis.
Converts glucose C₆H₁₂O₆, into pyruvate, CH₃COCOO⁻, and a hydrogen ion, H⁺. ADP and NADH are formed from the energy released from the process.
The Citric Acid Cycle (Kreb's Cycle)
The acetyl group from acetyl CoA is attached to a four-carbon oxaloacetate molecule to form a six-carbon citrate molecule. In total, it creates 6 NADH + H+ molecules, two FADH2 molecules, four carbon dioxide molecules, and two ATP molecules. This process takes place in the matrix of the mitochondria.
AHH! How do you know so much about these stuff!!
Each process is constantly turning the waste of the other process into the inputs it needs to function. Without one system, the other would not be able to occur.
And finally, we have the electron transport chain ,a series of electron transporters embedded in the inner mitochondrial membrane that transports electrons from NADH / FADH2 to oxygen
