That sounds fun, what is there to know about cellular respiration?
There is a lot to know about cellular respiration.
First, what is cellular respiration?
Cellular respiration is the process that releases energy from food in the presence of oxygen.
Don't cellular respiration have three stages? The the three stages are Glycolysis,Krebs Cycle,and ETC?
Correct and in fact Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell. It's also anaerobic and is a pyruvic acid.
Isn't the Krebs cycle aerobic and requires oxygen to occur and takes place in the mitochondria?
I'm going to join in and tell you about ETC. ETC occurs in the mitochondria and is aerobic. It also requires energy and produces water as a waste product and makes a lot of energy for the cell of ATP.
Correct, The Krebs cycle also uses carbon dioxide as a waste product.
Wow that's a lot. Thanks for the good facts about cellular respiration. Thanks Mike for the information about ETC too.
Your welcome
Together,glycolysis, the krebs cycle and ETC generate 36 molecules of ATP per molecule and glucose used. That's a lot of energy!
