Mosby items and derived items © 2012 Mosby, Inc., an imprint of Elsevier Inc. 26
Cellular Energy (cont’d)
Oxidative phosphorylation Occurs in the mitochondria Mechanism producing energy from fats, CHO,
proteins Involves the removal of electrons from various
intermediates via a co-enzyme such as nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) to transfer electrons
Mosby items and derived items © 2012 Mosby, Inc., an imprint of Elsevier Inc. 27
Cellular Energy (cont’d)
Oxidative phosphorylation (cont’d) Anaerobic glycolysis: if oxygen not available,
CHO is converted to pyruvic acid (pyruvate) in cytoplasm with production of two ATP molecules which is insufficient for energy needs; pyruvate then converted to lactic acid
Process reverses when oxygen becomes available and lactic acid is converted back to either pyruvic acid or glucose, which moves into the mitochondria and enters the citric acid cycle
