The passage discusses the processes of cellular respiration, glycolysis, the electron transport chain, and photosynthesis. It provides animations and questions to help understand these concepts.

The main steps of cellular respiration are glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and the electron transport chain. Glycolysis breaks down glucose and occurs in the cytoplasm. The citric acid cycle further breaks down molecules in the mitochondria. The electron transport chain creates a proton gradient to produce ATP via chemiosmosis.

ATP is required for glycolysis to convert phosphoenolpyruvate to pyruvic acid. Glycolysis is an energy-requiring process that produces a small amount of ATP to fuel further reactions.
