This happens in the crista of the mitochondria. * Whole result is ~27-38 ATPs (typically 29-30 in most cells). * Review: the four steps of cellular respiration: - 1. Glycolysis: splits glucose into two pyruvates, produces ATP and reduces NAD⁺ to NADH. Happens in the cytosol. - 2. Pyruvate Oxidation: each pyruvate is stripped of CO₂, binds to CoA, and generates more NADH. - 3. Citric Acid/Krebs Cycle: each acetyl-CoA goes through a cycle and produces ATP, NADH, and FADH₂. - 4. Oxidative Phosphorylation: the NADH and FADH₂ are used to make a proton gradient, and that is used to make more ATP. + 1.
