Describe The Difference Between Atp And Acetyl-Coa

Now what does NADH, ATP and Acetyl-CoA all have in common? Well there are a few key aspects that they have that are similar. First off I would like to establish that all three of these molecules are forms of energy. Although they are different forms of energy, but energy that are all used in the life process none the less. Also all three of these molecules are coenzymes, meaning that they aid enzymes in carrying out their processes. NADH and ATP are both extremely high in energy, and are uncomfortable in these forms so they want to find a way out of it so they become ADP and NAD+ which are both more stable versions of the two and have lower energies then the other two. These three molecules all take place in biological processes to produce some form of energy; however

Without them, it would be difficult to imagine life existing much longer if we lost these molecules. We would have to find new sources to get our energy. Now I would like to talk about glycolysis, which in short terms is a metabolic pathway to convert glucose into a pyruvate. Glycolysis is a part of the metabolic process which is known as cellular respiration. It consists of a set of many different reactions that release two different forms of energy, which consist of ATP as well as NADH. Glycolysis is oxygen independent, meaning that it does not use oxygen in order to carry out its pathway. The products of glycolysis which are pyruvate and NADH, H+ are sometimes disposed of using atmospheric oxygen. So when they are disposed of using oxygen they are referred to as aerobic, and when they are disposed of without oxygen they are called anaerobic. Glycolysis tends to take place in the cytosol of the cells in majority of organisms. In glycolysis it starts off by having a sugar come by that can be broken down, so the sugar I used in the enzymatic reaction is glucose. It then takes glucose and breaks it down to get two different forms of energy.
