Episode notes

Glucose must be turned into something called glucose six phosphate. We take this phosphate from ATP, which is the energy currency of the body. If you snap a phosphate off, it releases a bit of energy that we can use to perform work. But what have we just used that? First investment, one loss. Exactly.

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!
