In fact, the mitochondrial system generates substantially more ATP than glycolysis, for a total of 28 ATP molecules for every molecule of glucose (or, more specifically, two pyruvates) that enters the citric acid cycle.

The respiratory chain consists of a series of proteins that can transfer negatively charged particles (i.e., electrons) or hydrogen from energy-rich, oxidizable compounds (e.g., pyruvate generated by the breakdown of the sugar glucose, and fatty acids generated by the breakdown of dietary fats) to [O.sub.2] (Berg et al.
