192: 21: 150: 126: 388:. These should be combined since each now is pretty much limited by the fact that all the details are being developed in separate artticles (which I think is a good idea). If this article could serve as an introduction to cell metabolism and a branching to the details developed from here, the reader would not need to wander around so much. I'll try to develop to illustrate. Anybody see problems with this approach? - 95: 820: 333:). Eventually, the process produces the four-carbon oxaloacetate again, ending up where it started off. All in all, the Kreb's cycle is capable of generating from 24 to 28 ATP molecules from one molecule of glucose converted to pyruvate. Therefore, it is easy to see how much more energy we can get from a molecule of glucose if our mitochondria are working properly and if we have oxygen. 338: 667:
not served by the Bensaccount approach: 1) extraneous material under subheadings on one page is far easier to sort through than the same material spread over three articles; 2) Seems obvious—one page should suffice; and 3) By having more pages covering the same things, more versions will be slowly expanded on independent of each other. -

Obviously, I agree with Lexor on this. Indeed, if there were some substance to the subtopics, it might be time to create the separate articles (it is not). As it is now, we have a stub leading to more stubs. All three of the points made above by Bensaccount (did he actually make these points?) are

It is up to the person doing the splitting into multiple articles to justify the action by providing the material to flesh them out beyond stubs. Otherwise, it is goiod housekeeping to consolidate stubs down into as few articles as necessary to encourage otherrs to add material. I suggest you are

Let's break down each of these steps so that you can better understand how food and nutrients are turned into energy packets and water. Some of the best energy-supplying foods that we eat contain complex sugars. These complex sugars can be broken down into a less chemically complex sugar molecule

508:
I'm confused. Bensaccount moved all the "stubs" out of cell metabolism, but Lexor put them in Catabolism, reversing the work I did previously. All we are doing is creating a bunch of stubs. Once an article says "see Main Article at ...." it is forever a stub unless similar short pieces can be

I agree with the idea of having a main page and specialized pages in general, but the summaries that are left in the page should be of a decent length so that an article can be read as a standalone work, only diving into the specific page when more detailed work is required. The sections on

I disagree that they need their own articles yet. Anabolism is less than a para, and catabolism is only about 4-5 paras, they need to be discussed in conjunction, if and when they increase in length, then that is the right time to split them out, but they are just too short currently.
287:, occurs inside the mitochondria and is capable of generating enough ATP to run all the cell functions. Once again, the cycle begins with a glucose molecule, which during the process of glycolysis is stripped of some of its hydrogen atoms, transforming the glucose into two molecules of 325:. Citric acid is then broken down and modified in a stepwise fashion. As this happens, hydrogen ions and carbon molecules are released. The carbon molecules are used to make more carbon dioxide. The hydrogen ions are picked up by NAD and another molecule called 682:
When I made my comment the three points made sense since there were pages for anabolism and catabolism, as well there should be - these subjects deserve their own pages. Unfortunately, these pages no longer exist (a step in the wrong direction if you ask me).

This should be an overview/introduction of cell metabolism (glycolysis, citric acid cycle, respiration, etc.) and as such I feel it should be top priority. It's definitely part of high school or even lower level education. -
342: 605:
a section becomes long enough, then, yes, I agree with you, we need specialized pages, but since anabolism and catabolism are so intertwined with each other and are currently so short, they really need to be discussed

PS. Anabolism and catabolism do deserve their own articles and if you want to stop this page from being a stub -- try and add more subtopics (there are a LOT more than just two).
