Respiration

Glycolysis, Krebs cycle, and Electron Transport Chain (ETC)

1. Introduction to Cellular Respiration

  1. Cellular respiration is the process by which cells break down glucose to produce energy in the form of ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate).
  2. It occurs in three main stages:
    • Glycolysis (Occurs in the cytoplasm)
    • Krebs Cycle (Occurs in the mitochondrial matrix)
    • Electron Transport Chain (ETC) (Occurs in the inner mitochondrial membrane)

2.

Types of respiration: aerobic and anaerobic

1. Introduction to Respiration

  1. Respiration is the biological process by which cells break down glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆) to produce energy (ATP).
  2. Occurs in all living organisms, including plants, animals, and microorganisms.
  3. The energy released is stored in the form of ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate).
  4. There are two main types of respiration:
    • Aerobic Respiration
    • Anaerobic Respiration
