Study Notes

Cellular Respiration Overview

  • Metabolic pathway that converts nutrients into energy.
  • Primary energy source produced is adenosine triphosphate (ATP).

Stages of Cellular Respiration

  • Glycolysis:

    • Converts glucose into pyruvate.
    • Generates a small amount of ATP and NADH.
  • Citric Acid Cycle (Krebs Cycle):

    • Pyruvate enters mitochondria for processing.
    • Produces more NADH and FADH2, along with a small amount of ATP.
  • Oxidative Phosphorylation:

    • Involves electron transfer from NADH and FADH2 through the electron transport chain.
    • Creates a proton gradient to drive the large-scale production of ATP.
    • Oxygen serves as the final electron acceptor, resulting in water formation.

Importance of Cellular Respiration

  • Essential for aerobic organisms' survival.
  • Supplies energy crucial for various cellular functions.
