    Cellular respiration is a multi-step process that cells use to break down glucose and generate ATP, which provides energy for cellular functions. It involves three main stages: glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain. Glycolysis breaks down glucose into pyruvate, producing a small amount of ATP. In the presence of oxygen, pyruvate undergoes the Krebs cycle and electron transport chain to generate much more ATP. Without oxygen, fermentation occurs instead, producing lactic acid or ethanol and a small amount of ATP. The overall process converts the chemical energy from food into energy stored in ATP that cells can use.

    What is cellular respiration and what is it for?
    What is it?
    It is a step by step process that
    change and store the energy from
    the food you eat into bonds of a
    molecule called ATP.

    What is it for?
    It is just for gaining the energy
    needed to keep your body going.
    The energy from food is stored into
    the molecule called ATP and when
    the body needs energy, that ATP Molecule
    gives the energy your body
    (essentially your cells) needs. A molecule is a group of atoms
    which are like very tiny balls that
    make up everything you see.
    Equation of Cellular Respiration
    Mitochondria

    Mitochondria is a subunit or tiny part of a cell that is a must-have


    for the cell to do cellular respiration.

    First Stage:
    Glycolysis
    A glucose has 6 carbon atoms.
    Glucose is a molecule too and is
    made up of atoms (think of it as tinier
    balls that make up a big ball).
    The main structure of glucose is the
    six carbon atoms (on your right) and
    they are split into 3 carbon atoms
    called pyruvates.
    1 Glucose = 1 Pyruvate + 1 Pyruvate

    In addition, 2 ATPs and 2 NADHs are


    produced. (Again ATP NADH are just
    energy carrying molecules.)
    The next stage depends on if oxygen is present

    Aerobic respiration (Kreb Cycle) Anaerobic respiration (Fermentation)

    If there is oxygen, then there is a two-step If there is no oxygen , the cell will go through
    process where the products from Glycolysis (the fermentation.
    pyruvates) are converted (converted) to get 2 There are two types of fermentation:
    more ATPs.
    ● Lactic acid fermentation
    ● Yeast fermentation

    Lactic acid involves the conversion of pyruvate


    into 2 ATP and lactic acid.

    Yeast fermentation is when the pyruvate is


    broken down into alcohol, 2 ATP and CO2.
    Second Stage: Part 1 (Kreb Cycle or CAC)
    Pyruvate to ATP
    1 The 2 pyruvates from Glycolysis are
    converted to make 2 ATP and some NADH
    and FADH2

    CO2 is exhaled out for humans.
    Second Stage: Part 2 (Electron Transport Chain)

    The electrons and hydrogen from the electron carrying molecules NADH and FADH2 are used
    to produce more ATP, specifically 23 ATP and H2O.

    Most of the ATP aka the energy produced from food come from this stage.
