NADH results in ~2-3 ATPs). 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.
