Introduction

In this blog post, I’ll explain how cellular respiration works. Cellular respiration is the process in which organisms convert glucose into acetyl-CoA and high-energy molecules called ATP. It’s also known as aerobic metabolism because oxygen is required for this reaction to occur.

The first steps in metabolic energy production are the conversion of glucose to carbon dioxide, water and a large number of ATP molecules.

The first steps in metabolic energy production are the conversion of glucose to carbon dioxide, water and a large number of ATP molecules. The process is called cellular respiration. Glycolysis is an important part of this process and can be summarized as follows:

In order to create ATP molecules, aerobic organisms must convert glucose into two other substances – pyruvate and acetyl-CoA.

In order to create ATP molecules, aerobic organisms must convert glucose into two other substances – pyruvate and acetyl-CoA. Pyruvate is then converted into acetyl-CoA, which is used to make ATP molecules.

The acetyl group from acetyl-CoA is attached to oxaloacetate (OAA) to make citrate which can then be used by cells to make even more ATP.

In order to understand how this happens, you need to know about the Krebs cycle and the citric acid cycle. The Krebs cycle is an important metabolic pathway for generating energy in all living organisms: it allows for the breakdown of glucose into pyruvate, which can then be converted back into glucose using two other enzymes called pyruvate dehydrogenase and malic enzyme. The latter two steps are what we’re focusing on here!

OAA itself is formed from pyruvate and acetyl-CoA by way of a series of enzymatic reactions – called the Krebs cycle – that produces NADH and FADH2.

OAA itself is formed from pyruvate and acetyl-CoA by way of a series of enzymatic reactions – called the Krebs cycle – that produces NADH and FADH2. It can be used to make ATP through respiration, or it can be converted back into glucose via gluconeogenesis.

The product of these reactions is CO2 and high quality ATP molecules.

The product of these reactions is CO2 and high quality ATP molecules.

The Krebs cycle begins by converting NADH, FADH2, and pyruvate into acetyl CoA (often abbreviated as “CoA”). Acetyl CoA then enters the citric acid cycle to produce CO2 and high quality ATP molecules.[1]

To synthesize NADH and FADH2, we need oxygen with an electron donor such as quinine or malate.

To synthesize NADH and FADH2, we need oxygen with an electron donor such as quinine or malate.

The process is called oxidative phosphorylation (OxPhos). Spatial constraints inhibit the movement of electrons from one molecule to another in this process. To fix this problem, special proteins called respiratory complexes are used to transport them through membranes in order for ATP synthesis to take place.

Conclusion

The Krebs cycle produces NADH and FADH2 from OAA. The products of these reactions are CO2 and high quality ATP molecules. To synthesize NADH and FADH2, we need oxygen with an electron donor such as quinine or malate. We will discuss these steps in greater detail later on in this project essay!
