Energy flow and chemical recycling in ecosystems

NADH2

orNADH- + H+

Almost 40% of the energy in glucose is converted to ATP

Each glucose uses 2 ATP then produces 4 ATP for a net of 2 ATP it also reduces 2 NAD+’s to form 2 NADH2; 2-3C pyruvates are also formed

Substrate-level phosphorylation –the phosphate group is at a higher energy level on the phosphoenolpyruvate than it is on ATP so it can be directly transferred

FormingAcetyl-CoA

Occurs inside the matrix

For the 2 pyruvates from a glucose, it produces 2 NADH2, releases 2 CO2 and 2 acetyl groups each attached to a Coenzyme A

From each Acetyl-CoA 3 NADH2 X2 1 FADH2 for the 1 ATP 2 acetyl 2 CO2 groups

Higherelectronegativity

Electrons from 1 NADH2 cause transport of 6H+’s that produce 3 ATP

1 FADH2 only 4H+’sonly 2 ATP
