- Glycolysis: glucose (plus ADP, Pi, NAD+) is broken down to 2 pyruvate, producing a net 2 ATP and 2 NADH.
- Pyruvate oxidation (link reaction): 2 pyruvate (plus CoA and NAD+) are converted to 2 acetyl‑CoA, releasing 2 CO2 and making 2 NADH.
- Citric acid cycle (Krebs): 2 acetyl‑CoA (plus NAD+, FAD, ADP/GDP) are oxidized to 4 CO2, producing 6 NADH, 2 FADH2 and 2 ATP (or GTP).
- Oxidative phosphorylation (ETC + chemiosmosis): NADH and FADH2 (plus O2, ADP and Pi) drive the production of ATP and H2O while regenerating NAD+ and FAD.
