Episode notes

"We are stripping glucose C6H1206. So this is a six carbon sugar, six carbon sugar heaps of hydrogen available." "So we can strip those hydrogens, strip the negative charge electrons as well and bound them with an intermediate chemical that can hold on to those hydrogens and electrons," she says. 'And take that chemical down to the electron transport chain for us to produce a huge amount of ATP'

In this episode, Dr Matt and Dr Mike explain how carbohydrates are used to make energy! They talk about the details underpinning glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain!
