Cellular Respiration: What is it?
Cellular Respiration: What is it?
Cellular respiration is a process that converts glucose and oxygen into carbon dioxide, water, and energy in the form of ATP. This energy is essential for various cellular functions.
What is Glycolysis?
What is Glycolysis?
Glycolysis is the first stage of cellular respiration, where a glucose molecule (6 carbons) is broken down into two pyruvate molecules (3 carbons each). This process generates a small amount of ATP and NADH.
What happens in the Krebs Cycle?
What happens in the Krebs Cycle?
The Krebs Cycle (also called the Citric Acid Cycle) is the third stage of cellular respiration, where Acetyl CoA molecules are broken down, generating CO2, ATP, NADH and FADH2.
