| I: | The complete oxidation of pyruvate by the stepwise removal of all the hydrogen atoms, leaving three molecules of CO2, takes place in mitochondrial matrix. |
| II: | The passing on of the electrons, removed as part of the hydrogen atoms, to molecular O2 with simultaneous synthesis of ATP occurs in cytosol. |
| I: | Cells are able to utilize all the energy from glucose when released in one burst. |
| II: | Gradual glucose breakdown allows for the simultaneous buildup of many ATP molecules. |
