Hey guys! I'm researching about cellular respiration for my bio project. Let's learn more about cellular respiration together!
Cellular Respiration is a process of transforming glucose to ATP.- ATP is a type of energy molecule found in all living things- Glucose + Oxygen will become Carbon Dioxide and WaterIn this process there are 3 stages- Stage 1: Glycolysis- Stage 2: The Krebs Cycle- Stage 3: Electron Transport Chain
It says the first stage is Glycolysis. This stage takes place in cytoplasm, it isn't technically a part of Cellular Respiration, however, without this stage Cellular Respiration won't be able to process!
The second stage is The Krebs Cycle. This stage occurs in the matrix of a mitochondrion. It transfers energy that is released from the broken down glucose to the Electron Transport Chain.
The final stage is the Electron Transport Chain, it contains proteins that are embedded in the inner membrane of the mitochondria. During this step, electrons carry NADH and FADH2 down a protein chain and release energy and water.
YAY! We finally found all the things I need for my bio project. Thank you for helping me find interesting facts about Cellular Respiration! Wish me luck on my presentation.
