Q
Cellular Respiration Occurs in 3 main stages
A
- Glycolysis
- The Citric Acid Cycle
- The Electron Transport Chain
2
Q
- Glycolysis
A
- Ocurs in the cytosol.
- Only makes little ATP
3
Q
- The Citric Acid Cycle
A
- Occurs in the mitochondria.
- Only makes little ATP
4
Q
- The Electron Transport chain
A
- Ocurs in the mitochondria.
- Makes the most ATP
5
Q
Electron Carrier molecule NAD+
A
Empty carriers
6
Q
Electron Carrier molecule NADH
A
Full electron Carrier
7
Q
Stage 1: Glycolysis
A
Glycolysis breaks a 6 C molecule into two 3 C molecules
8
Q
Stage 1: Glycolysis
A
- Starts with GLUCOSE (6C)
- Ends with 2 Pyruvic Acids (3 C molecules)
- Makes 2 ATP
- 2NADH MOLECULES

Q
Stage 2: The Citric Acid Cycle: Before the Citric Acid Cycle can start the pyretic Acids must be modified or “Prepped”
A
- Pyruvic Acid gets turned into Acetyl coenzyme
- lose C as CO2
- Gain NADH

Q
Stage 2: The Citric Acid Cycle:
The Citric Acid Cycle completes the breakdown of glucose into CO2.
A
-Starts with
