Trace the movement of energy and matter through all cellular respiratory processes.
Energy enters as Glucose and through glycolysis it is broken down to create ATP, pyruvate, and NADH. NADH now carries energy to the electron transport chain where the most ATP is created with the help of the proton-motive force. The PTM ‘powers’ the ETC as it uses the electrochemical gradient and ratio of protons & electrons provided by electron carriers [such as NADH] to push the actions of the ETC to create ATP.
So based off of the movement of energy, matter moves through the mitochondria starting outside the organelle in the cytosol. The products of glycolysis move into the mitochondria where they undergo further break down and oxidation of energy, finally moving to the ETC in the cristae of the mitochondria. Here, the most ATP is created and this energy material is used to power the cell.
