Two atoms of hydrogen are removed from each triose phosphate molecule and added to 2 molecules of NAD+. 4. ATP formation (means ADP is phosphorylated) Pyruvate is formed by transferring 2 phosphate groups from each triose-phosphate molecule to 4 molecules of ADP.

Explain the relationship between the structure of the mitochondrion and its function
Matrix The matrix is the mitochondrions cytoplasm. It is the fluid contained inside the inner membrane. The matrix contains enzymes for the Krebs cycle. Inter-membrane space The intermembrane space is in-between the inner and outer membrane of a mitochondrion. It functions to store protons, which are then used to make ATP as they flow down a concentration gradient. Cristae Cristae are infoldings of the inner membrane, which is the location of the electron transport chain of cell respiration. The cristae increase surface area of the inner membrane; thus increasing the rate of ATP formation.
