Cellular Respiration Flashcards
What is the first step of cellular respiration?
Glycolysis
Where does glycolysis happen?
In the cytoplasm
What happens during the glycolysis?
Glucose is broken down into NADH, Pyruvic Acid & ATP
What is the second step of cellular respiration?
Acetulation
Where does acetulation occur?
In the mitochondria
What happens during the acetulation?
The pyruvates are broken down and carbon dioxide is released
What is the third step of cellular respiration?
The Krebs Cycle
Where does the Citric Acid / Krebs Cycle occur?
In the mitochondria
What occurs during the Krebs Cycle?
Acetyl CoA is transformed into NDH & FADH
What is the final step of cellular respiration?
Electron transport
What are the starting molecules for electron transport?
Hydrogen & ATP
What comes out from electron transport?
H2O
What happens during the electron transport?
Hydrogen is released & ATP is created
What does cellular respiration do?
Creates energy by taking in oxygen
Is this right?
Yes
