Cellular Respiration is the process in which breaks down gluclose to create ATP. The energy can then be made into kentic energy.
The Citric Acid Cycle (Kreb's Cycle)
Cellular Respiration is both used in animal and plant cells. Photosynthesis is the process in which plants and other organisms use sunlight to synthesize food from carbon dioxide/water.
Electron Transport Chain
In Glycolysis, glucose is broken down into pyruvic acid by enzymes, this process takes place in the cytoplasm. The net yield of glycolysis is 2 ATP, 2 Pyruvate, and 2 NADH.
The End
The acetyl group from acetyl CoA is attached to a four-carbon oxaloacetate molecule to form a six-carbon citrate molecule. In total, it creates 6 NADH + H+ molecules, two FADH2 molecules, four carbon dioxide molecules, and two ATP molecules. This process takes place in the matrix of the mitochondria.
The Process: The electron transport chain is a series of electrontransporters embedded in the inner mitochondrial membrane that transports electrons from NADH / FADH2 to oxygen.
The end product of cellular respiration is ATP, while the waste products are carbon dioxide and water.
