Cellular Respiration - Reactants and Products

Reactant(s) in Glycolysis

1 glucose molecule + 2 ATP

Product(s) of Glycolysis

2 pyruvate
2 NET ATP
2 NADH

Reactant(s) in Transition

2 pyruvate

Product(s) of Transition

2 carbon dioxide
2 NADH

2 ATP

Location of Transition

Crosses 1st membrane of the mitochondria, passes through the inter membrane spaces past the second membrane and into the mitochondrial matrix.

Location of Glycolysis

cytoplasm of the cell

Reactant(s) of The Kreb's Cycle

2 Acetyl CoA ---> 2 oxaloacete

Product(s) of The Kreb's Cycle

4 carbon dioxide, 6 NADH, 2 FADH

Location of the Kreb's Cycle

the mitochondrial matrix

Location of the Electron Transport Chain (ETC)

cristae of the mitochondria

Reactant(s) of the ETC

8-10 NADH
2- 4 FADH

Product(s) of the ETC
