Chapter 11 Cellular Respiration

cellular respiration  Aerobic respiration is much more efficient than fermentation One molecule of glucose can generate up to 38 molecules of ATP if aerobic respiration is used In Cellular respiration · Glucose broken down in a series of steps to release its bond energy in the form of electrons: each one catalyzed by an enzyme

Cellular respiration is a process by which cells harvest the energy stored in food It includes glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, Cellular respiration converts oxygen and glucose into water and carbon dioxide Water and carbon dioxide are by- products and ATP is energy that is transformed

Explore the process of aerobic cellular respiration and why ATP production is so important in Cellular respiration: Aerobic respiration occurs in the presence of oxygen Oxygen is the final electron acceptor for step 4 Steps: 1 Glycolysis
