What function is served by lymphoid organs?
Why does is energy harvested from our food in so many steps Why can’t it all be done at once - if glucose was oxidized all at once, too much energy would be lost - electrons are stripped from glucose at key steps in the process - electrons do not travel alone…travel with a proton = hydrogen atom - H atoms are not transferred directly to oxygen (passed to an electron carrier = NAD (NADH reduced)) Where does each step take place A. Glycolysis: CYTOSOL B. Pyruvate Oxidation: MITOCHONDRIA(L MATRIX) C. Citric Acid Cycle: MITOCHONDRIALMATRIX D. Oxidative Phosphorylation: INNER MEMBRANE OF THE MITOCHONDRION What is the purpose of adding coenzyme Ato form acetyl CoAif it is just cleaved off in the first step of the Krebs Cycle - 242 “In eukaryotes, pyruvate enters the mit
