Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Each pyruvic acid molecule is broken down to form CO 2 and a two-carbon acetyl group, which enters the Krebs cycle Pyruvic acid is chemically groomed for the Krebs cycle Figure 6.10 Pyruvic acid CO 2 Acetyl CoA (acetyl coenzyme A)

6. Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings The Krebs cycle is a series of reactions in which enzymes strip away electrons and H + from each acetyl group The Krebs cycle completes the oxidation of organic fuel, generating many NADH and FADH 2 molecules Figure 6.11A Acetyl CoA KREBS CYCLE 2 CO 2

8. Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings The electrons from NADH and FADH 2 travel down the electron transport chain to oxygen Energy released by the electrons is used to pump H + into the space between the mitochondrial membranes In chemiosmosis, the H + ions diffuse back through the inner membrane through ATP synthase complexes, which capture the energy to make ATP Chemiosmosis powers most ATP production
