Energy flow in mitochondria. Animation showing a simplified schematic representation of energy flow via electron transport chains in mitochondria. Mitochondria, found in eukaryotic cells, are the site of energy production. This diagram shows lipids (fats) and glucids (carbohydrates) in the green box at lower left. These chemicals enter the citric acid cycle (yellow), with the products including carbon dioxide (CO2, blue box at lower centre) and NADH2 (green box at upper left). NADH2 is a reduced form of the co-enzyme nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide. This is followed by a series of proton pumps (orange) establishing a proton gradient (blue box at top) as electrons from the fuel molecules are trapped by oxygen (O2, green box at lower right), producing water (H2O, blue box at lower right) as the end product.
