Study Notes
Cellular Respiration Overview
- Cellular respiration occurs in the mitochondria of cells.
Glycolysis Pathway
- The initial pathway of cellular respiration is glycolysis, which takes place in the cytoplasm.
Energy Production
- The main energy molecule produced in cellular respiration is ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate).
Anaerobic Respiration
- The end product of anaerobic respiration in humans is lactic acid.
Glycolysis Products
- If oxygen is not available, the products of glycolysis are converted to lactic acid or ethanol, depending on the organism.
