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.
