Carbohydrate Pathways/Cycles/Processes/Reactions:
Glycogenesis
-glycogen synthesis
Glycogenolysis
-glycogen breakdown
Gluconeogenesis
-synthesis of glucose from a non-carbohydrate source
Glycolysis
-breakdown of glucose to pyruvate
Transition Reaction
-conversion of pyruvate to acetyl-CoA
Citric Acid (Tricarboxylic acid (TCA), Kreb's) Cycle
-acetyl-CoA combines with oxaloacetate to form citrate; ATP, NADH, and FADH2 are produced in the cycle
Electron Transport Chain
-oxidative phosphorylation, producing ATP from NADH and FADH2
