1. | is transported from the cytoplasm into the mitochondria. |
2. | undergoes oxidative decarboxylation in the cytosol. |
3. | is reduced to lactate in liver. |
4. | is transported from the cytoplasm first into the Golgi apparatus, where it is packaged and then transported into the mitochondrion. |
1. | There is a sequential, orderly pathway functioning, with one substrate forming the next and with glycolysis, TCA cycle and ETS pathway following one after another. |
2. | The NADH synthesised in glycolysis does not get transferred into the mitochondria and does not undergo oxidative phosphorylation. |
3. | None of the intermediates in the pathway are utilised to synthesise any other compound. |
4. | Only glucose is being respired – no other alternative substrates are entering in the pathway at any of the intermediary stages. |
