    Cellular respiration is a complex biochemical pathway that releases energy stored in glucose molecules and converts it into ATP, which cells can use as an energy source. It consists of three main processes: glycolysis in the cytosol, the Krebs cycle in the mitochondrial matrix, and the electron transport chain in the mitochondrial inner membrane. Aerobic cellular respiration produces 36 ATP per glucose molecule, while anaerobic respiration produces less.

    What is the function of cellular respiration? Does it store or release energy?
    Cellular respiration is a complex biochemcial pathway by which the energy stored in chemical
    bonds of Glucose molecules is released. The released energy is coverted into ATP that can be
    used as an energy source for all cellular processes.

    What are the processes that take place in a cell in the presence of oxygen?
    Where does each of these processes take place in a cell? What order do they
    occur?
    This is referred to as aerobic cellular respiration. It is made up of three parts: glycolysis, the
    Krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain. Glycolysis occurs in the cytosol, the Krebs
    cycle in the mitochondrial matrix, and the electron transport chain in the mitochondrial inner
    membrane. Glycolysis is the first stage, which converts glucose to pyruvate. Pyruvate will be
    oxidized to Acetyl Co-A for the Krebs cycle in the second stage. It oxidizes acetyl Co-A to
    CO2 at this stage, and the electrons released are used to create NADH and FADH2, which
    aid in the electron transport chain. The electron transport chain, which generates the most
    ATP, is the third stage.
    What is glycolysis? What is the starting molecule? What are the products?
    Glycolysis is an anaerobic process that occurs in the cytosol and involves a series of
    reactions catalyzed by enzymes to break down glucose molecules into two molecules of
    pyruvate. Glycolysis starts with one glucose and ends with producing two ATP, two NADH,
    and two Pyruvate as byproducts.

    How much energy is produced from glycolysis (net gain?)


    2 ATP
    How much energy is produced from cellular respiration as a whole?
    36 ATP
    What is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration? Which
    processes involved in cellular respiration are aerobic? Anaerobic?
    Aerobic respiration takes place in mitochondria and requires glucose and oxygen to produce
    ATP, carbon, and water. Aerobic respiration is involved in the process of the Krebs cycle and
    electron transport. On the other hand, anaerobic respiration only requires glucose to
    produce ATP, however, anaerobic respiration produces less ATP than the aerobic respiration.
    Anaerobic respiration is involve in the process of glycolysis
    After glycolysis cellular respiration occurs in two main stages, what are those
    stages? How much ATP comes out of each stage per molecule of glucose?
    After glycolysis, the next stage is Kreb cycle which also produces 2 ATP, to be followed by
    Electron Transport which produces the largest amount of ATP, which is 34 ATP in total.

    What is the overall cellular respiration equation? How does it relate to the
    photosynthesis equation?
    C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O is the equation of Cellular respiration which breaks down
    glucose and oxygen to form energy, carbon dioxide and water. Meanwhile in Photosynthesis, it
    converts the carbon dioxide and water to oxygen and glucose in order to capture energy.
    What is the starting molecule of the Krebs Cycle? What molecules are
    produced in the Krebs Cycle?
    The starting molecule of Kreb Cycle is acetyl-CoA which will be combine to four carbon
    compound called oxaloacetic acid which produces citric acid. This will be oxidized and will
    produce 2 ATP, 4 carbon dioxide, 6 NADH and 2FADH.
    What are NAD+/FAD+ and how do they compare to NADH/FADH2? What types
    of molecules are these and what are their functions?
    FAD+ and NAD+ are enzymes that acts as ellectron carrier, which will be combine to
    hydrogen and will be reduced to NADH and FADH. Its function is to cerry electron and pass
    the electrons to the electron transport chain.
    Where is the electron transport chain located? What is the function of the
    electron transport chain?
    The electron transport chain is located in the inner mitochondrial membrane and its function
    is to generate an electrochemical gradient which drives the synthesis of ATP during cellular
    respiration
    Be able to compare cellular respiration to photosynthesis.
    Photosynthesis makes the glucose in the chloroplast that can be used in cellular respiration
    to make ATP in mitochondria. Photosynthesis converts carbon dioxide and water to oxygen
    and glucose (6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2 ) while cellular respiration coverts oxygen and
    glucose to ATP, carbon dioxide and water (C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O). Their equation is
    direct opposite with each other.
    What is the function of fermentation? What are the two types of
    fermentation? What do they produce? Why types of real world processes use
    each type?
    The fuction of fermentation is to enable the cells to produce chemical energy from the
    breakdown of glucose without oxygen which follows after glycolysis when the oxygen is
    absent. There are two kinds of fermentation which is the Alcoholic fermentation and Lactic
    Acid. Alcoholic fermentation produces ethanol, carbon dioxide, and NAD+, which is usually
    observed in real world on producing alcoholic beverage, vinegar, and kombucha while Lactic
    acid fermentation produces lactic acid (lactate) and NAD+. This is used in the production of
    pills, implants, and surgical sutures.
