Comparing Stages of Aerobic Respiration

Stages

  • Glycolysis

  • The Link Reaction

  • The Krebs Cycle

  • The Electron Stage Chain

Differences

Glycolysis

The Link Reaction

The Krebs Cycle

The Electron Stage Chain

Location

occurs in the cells cytoplasm

occurs in the matrix of mitochondria

occurs in the matrix of mitochondria

occurs in the inter membrane space

Requirements

requires 2 molecules of NAD+ per glucose molecule

requires pyruvate and NAD and COA

requires a series of enzyme-controlled reactions

requires close distance to allow the electrons to pass from carrier to carrier

Products

produces pyruvate

produces Acetyl COA, CO2, NADPH

produces 2 molecules of C, 3 molecules of NADH, 1 Molecule of FADHZ and ATP

produces water and many molecules of ATP

Processes

phosphorylation, lysis, oxidation, dephosphorylation

pyruvate being oxidised, reduction of NAD

regeneration of oxaloacetate

oxidative phosphorylation. the Krebs Cycle
