In cellular respiration the mitochondria break In cellular respiration the mitochondria break down (reduce) glucose releasing its stored energy down (reduce) glucose releasing its stored energy and producing and producing CO2 and and H2O as wastes

The energy is then stored in ATP molecules

Making ATPMaking ATP

Oxidative phosphorylationOxidative phosphorylation – – ATP is ATP is made as the result of an electron transport made as the result of an electron transport chainchain

Substrate-level phosphorylationSubstrate-level phosphorylation – ATP – ATP is made directly when an enzyme transfers is made directly when an enzyme transfers a P (phosphate) to ADPa P (phosphate) to ADP

ATP is required as activation energy to begin the reactions of glucolysis

ATP is then produced in the payoff phase along with 2NADH

Investment and Payoff

#1 – Two ATP are added to glucose to produce fructose 1,6-bisphosphate

#2 – Fructose 1,6-bisphosphate is split into two molecules of Glyceraldehyde 3-Phosphate

#3 – The two G3P’s are further oxidized producing 4 ATP (2 Net) and 2 NADH

#4 – G3P has now been completely oxidized to pyruvate
