| Description: Formation of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) in the cell, showing that most of the ATP is formed in the mitochondria. ADP = adenosine diphosphate; CoA = coenzyme A The following things are pulled from outside the cell into it. glucose, fatty acids, amino acids, and oxygen. Glucose leads to 2 adenosine diphosphate and 2 adenosine triphosphate in cytoplasm, which leads to pyruvic acid in the mitochondrion. The fatty and amino acids lead to acetoacetic acid, which joins with the pyruvic acid to form acetyl coenzyme A. From inside the cell 36 adenosine diphosphate leads to more A D P, which joins with the acetyl C O A and the oxygen from outside the cell to form A T P, water, and C O 2. All of which exit the mitochondrion into the cytoplasm.
