Study Notes
Cellular Respiration Overview
- Glycolysis is the first step in cellular respiration, occurring in the cytoplasm, and does not require oxygen (anaerobic).
- Glucose is the primary reactant in glycolysis, breaking down to form two molecules of pyruvate, which can enter further stages of respiration.
- Carbon dioxide is a byproduct of cellular respiration, released during the conversion of glucose into energy.
- A total of 36 ATP molecules are produced through the various stages of cellular respiration, serving as the main energy source for cellular activities.
- Oxygen is essential for aerobic respiration, allowing for the complete oxidation of glucose to produce more energy.
- Water is produced as a byproduct in the process of cellular respiration, particularly during the electron transport chain stage.
- The loss of a phosphate group (phosphorylation) from ATP releases energy, making it available for various cellular functions.
