Q

What are the three Stages of cellular respiration​?

A

1Glycolysis​

2Krebs Cycle​

3Electron transport chain​

21
Q

Its splitting glucose molecules into two molecules of pyruvate. It also produces two molecules of ATP and two molecules of NADH

A

Glycolysis​

22
Q

It occurs in inner mitochondrial membrane where series of protein complexes are located. This process produce large amount of ATP.

A

Electron transport chain​ & Chemiosmosis

23
Q

This process happens in the matrix of Mitochondria.
This process will produce:​
