Oxidative Phosphorylation

Oxidative Phosphorylation (Stage 4 of
Metabolism)
• The complete oxidation of glucose can be Oxidative Phosphorylation (Stage 4 of
Metabolism)
• The complete oxidation of glucose can be
represented by the following equation:
C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6O 2 ? 6CO 2 + 6H 2 O
?Go = - 2870 kJ/mole
• Till now only 2ATP and 2GTP are formed from Oxidative Phosphorylation (Stage 4 of
Metabolism)
• The complete oxidation of glucose can be
represented by the following equation:
C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6O 2 ? 6CO 2 + 6H 2 O
?Go = - 2870 kJ/mole
• Till now only 2ATP and 2GTP are formed from
oxidation of glucose which equal to 124 kJ/mole
• The question is Where has all the energy gone?
• The answer is that energy is still carried by the
carriers of the reducing equivalents (NADH &
FADH2)
