Aerobic Cellular Respiration

Question 1

Glyolysis

Answer 1

sugar splitting. This occurs in the cytoplasm that breaks down glucose into 2 pyruvate: NADH and 2 ATP molecules are made from this. It doesn’t require oxygen (anaerobic pathway).

Question 2

Citric Acid Cycle

Answer 2

this is a cyclical pathway that occurs in the mitochondria that produces NADH and 2 ATP and release carbon dioxide.

Question 3

Electron Transport Chain

Answer 3

a series of molecules embedded in the mitochondrial membrane where NADH is made in steps 1 & 2 carries electron here. 32-34 ATP is made depending on the cell and it requires oxygen as the final election acceptor in the chain.
