To TCA cycle
The matrix contains Pyruvate Dehydrogenase, enzymes of Krebs Cycle, and other pathways, e.g., fatty acid oxidation & amino acid metabolism.
The outer membrane contains large VDAC channels, similar to bacterial porin channels, making the outer membrane leaky to ions & small molecules.

Glycolysis occurs in the cytosol of cells.
Pyruvate enters the mitochondrion to be metabolized further.
Mitochondrial Compartments:
It contains various transport catalysts, including a carrier protein that allows pyruvate to enter the matrix.
It is highly convoluted, with infoldings called cristae.
Embedded in the inner membrane are constituents of the respiratory chain and ATP Synthase.

Acetyl CoA functions as: input to Krebs Cycle, where the acetate moiety is
further degraded to CO2. donor of acetate for synthesis of fatty acids, ketone
bodies, & cholesterol.

Scorecard:
2 ATP/glucose anaeobic gycolysis
In addition, aerobically we get
~6 ATP from glycolysis NADH
~6 ATP from pyruvate dehydrogenase NADH
~18 ATP from TCA cycle NADH
~4 ATP from TCA cycle FADH
2 ATP from TCA cycle GTP
So: aerobic metabolism ‘classically’ adds ~36 ATP, giving 38 altogether. As I’ll make clear, a bit less than this is made in reality.
Respiration
• Glycolysis and the TCA cycle produce NADH, FADH2 and ATP (via GTP) as primary products, CO2 as a byproduct
• Most of the ATP is made by transfering electrons from NADH and FADH2 to oxygen, forming water
• This is done in the inner membranes of mitochondia and is called respiration
