Glycolysis, TCA, and ETC linkage

[melmu001]

I would like to know how is glycolysis, TCA, and ETC linked to each other?

glycolysis produces substrates for TCA (pyruvate at first, but is then made to Acetyl CoA via pyruvate oxidation), TCA produces substrates for ETC (NADH/FADH2 which are the electron carriers).

If you're asking what do they have in common, well they all produce ATP, although in different amounts

What are the key reactions and products in these three metabolic pathways? How are they interrelated?

Think of Glycolysis as a prerequisite to the TCA cycle. In order for Glucose to generate ATP, it needs to be converted to Pyruvate via Glycolysis. Pyruvate then is converted to Acetyl-Coa, this is how 2 carbons from Glucose are entering the TCA cycle.

During TCA cycle you produce NADH and FADH2. You produce 3NADH and 1 FADH2 per one molecule of Acetyl-Coa.

NADH and FADH2 will donate their electrons to the ETC (Electron Transport chain) so that ATP synthase can make ATP.

This is how all 3 pathways are interrelated.

Hope this helps.
