    Muscle cells obtain energy through three main processes: glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain. Glycolysis breaks down glucose in the cytoplasm without oxygen. Its product, pyruvate, enters the Krebs cycle in the mitochondria, where a series of reactions generate energy carriers. These pass electrons to the electron transport chain, which uses their energy to produce ATP, the molecule that powers cellular activities.

    • How do cell obtain energy and use to powerful essential cellular

    activities?
    • Ho do muscle cells get their energy?
    GLYCOLYSI
    S
     From the words glyco meaning sugar and lysis meaning to
    split.
     It happens in the cytoplasm
     Does not require oxygen
    r
    Kreb’s Cycle
    Kreb’s Cycle
     Also known as the Citric Acid Cycle or Tricarboxylic Acid
    Cycle
     It starts with pyruvate, glycolysis’ end product and involves a
    series of enzyme-controlled reactions happening in the
    mitochondrial matrix.
    ETC
    Electron Transport Chain
     The energy carried by NADH and FAD from
    glycolysis and Kreb’s Cycle is used to generate
    ATP.
