Cellular Respiration Flashcards
What is the purpose of Cellular Respiration?
To produce ATP.
What is the purpose of Glycolysis?
To split Glucose into two separate pyruvates.
What is the purpose of Pyruvate Oxidation?
To form Acetyl-coA.
What is the purpose of Kreb’s Cycle?
To form NADH & FADH2, as well as form large amounts of ATP.
What is the purpose of Oxidative Phosphorylation (Electron Transport Chain)?
To oxidize nutrients to release their chemical energy stored within to produce ATP.
