Q

What happens during glycolysis

A

Glucose is broken down into 2 pieces (pyruvaste) that enter Krebs cycle and a little ATP is made. Electrons go to ETC. Glycolysis is anaerobic

Q

What happens during krebs cycle

A

The rest of glucose is broken down and electrons are extracted got to the ETC. a little ATP is made. It makes electron carriers that move to ETC. Krebs cycle is aerobic

Q

What happens during ETC

A

Energy is transferred to a chain or proteins in the inner membrane of the mitochondrion. The proteins use the energy to pump hydrogen ions against the membrane. ATP is created and water is formed. This process is aerobic and is where we get most of our ATP
