Michael, do you know what cellular respiration is?
Of course I do.
C6H12O6 + 6O2→6CO2 + 6H20 + Chemical Energy
Cellular respiration is a process where glucose is broken down for energy.The reactants are glucose, and oxygen, and the products are carbón dioxide, water, and chemical energy (in ATP).
Cellular respiration occurs in all organisms. That means both plants (autotrophs) and animals (hetertrophs). All of us need it to function.
Glycolysis is the first step in cellular respiration. It occurs in cytoplasms and 2 ATP are made.
ATP, NADH, and Pyruvate
Cellular respiration
Krebs cycle, also known as the citric acid cycle, is the second step in cellular respiration. It occurs in the matrix of mitochondria and 2 ATP are made.
NADH, FADH2, O2
ATP and H2O
Yes, there are many steps, but relax Roberta, this is the last step. The electron transport chain (ECT) is the third step of cellular respiration. It occurs in the inner membrane of the mitochondria and 34 ATP are made.
!My goodness!, it does take a lot of steps for a simple cellular respiration function.
Oooohhh now I'm getting it, let's see then the reactions of cellular respiration start in the cytoplasm but most of it happens in the immocondrium. That's why it's called a motile cell and cellular respiration would not be possible without it.
Step 1. Glycolysis
C3H4O3 (Pyruvate)
Step 2. Krebs Cycle
CO2, NADH, FADH2, ATP
Step 3. Electron Transport Chain
Mitochondria(the powerhouse cell)
That's it, you got it
