Cells obtain energy through a series of metabolic pathways. Glycolysis breaks down sugar in the cytoplasm and produces pyruvate, which then feeds into the Krebs cycle in the mitochondria. The Krebs cycle further breaks down pyruvate and generates energy carriers that are used in the electron transport chain to produce ATP through oxidative phosphorylation. Muscle cells obtain energy through these pathways during aerobic respiration but can also undergo lactic acid fermentation or alcohol fermentation under anaerobic conditions.

• How do cell obtain energy and use to powerful essential cellular
activities? • Ho do muscle cells get their energy? GLYCOLYS IS GLYCOLYSI S From the words glyco meaning sugar and lysis meaning to split. It happens in the cytoplasm Does not require oxygen r Glycolysis 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. Kreb’s Cycle ETC Electron Transport Chain The energy carried by NADH and FAD from glycolysis and Kreb’s Cycle is used to generate ATP. Oxidative Phosphorylation LACTIC ACID FERMENTATION LACTIC ACID FERMENTATION 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.
