Glycolysis is the initial step of cellular respiration and takes place in the ______
cytoplasm
Pyruvate produced in glycolysis is transported into the ______ in eukaryotic cells
mitochondrial matrix
The citric acid cycle occurs in the ______ and completes the oxidation of glucose
mitochondrial matrix
The citric acid cycle generates three molecules of NADH, one molecule of FADH2, and one molecule of ATP per cycle, along with two molecules of ______.
carbon dioxide
Oxidative phosphorylation takes place in the inner mitochondrial membrane and consists of two components: the electron transport chain (ETC) and ______.
chemiosmosis
The electron transport chain (ETC) transfers electrons from NADH and FADH2 to ______.
oxygen
Chemiosmosis utilizes the proton gradient to drive ATP synthesis via ATP synthase, resulting in the production of the majority of ATP in ______ respiration.
cellular
ATP generated through cellular respiration serves as the primary energy source for cellular processes, including biosynthesis, transport, and ______ work.
mechanical
Explore the process of cellular respiration, where cells extract energy from organic molecules to produce ATP. Learn about the complex biochemical reactions that occur in mitochondria and cytoplasm, and how energy from carbohydrates, fats, and proteins is converted into a usable form to power cellular functions.
