Glycolysis is the metabolic pathway that converts glucose C₆H₁₂O₆, into pyruvate, CH₃COCOO⁻, and a hydrogen ion, H⁺. The free energy released in this process is used to form the high-energy molecules ATP and NADH. Glycolysis is a sequence of ten enzyme-catalyzed reactions
Krebs cycle
It is a series of chemical reactions used by all aerobic organisms to release stored energy through the oxidation of acetyl-CoA derived from carbohydrates, fats, and proteins
Electron transport chain
The electron transport chain is built up of peptides, enzymes, and other molecules. The electron transport chain is a series of complexes that transfer electrons from electron donors to electron acceptors via redox reactions
