| Three Stages of metabolism in animal cells |
|
Definition
1. Food broken down into subunits in intestines.
2. Glycolysis breaks down stuff into pyruvate and then to Acetyl CoA.
3. Citric Acid Cycle: Oxidation of Acetyl CoA. |

Term
|
Definition
| Oxidation of Acetyl CoA to CO2 via the citric acid cycle. FADH2 and NADH are also generated. They give electrons to the electron transport chain to make energy. |
