Overview of Cellular Respiration
SLCC BIOL Videos・2 minutes read
Cellular respiration is a process that converts ADP and inorganic phosphate into ATP, involving steps like glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation. NAD and FAD are electron carriers transferring high-energy electrons to the electron transport chain in aerobic respiration, resulting in the production of ATP from glucose.
Insights
- Cellular respiration is a process that converts ADP and inorganic phosphate into ATP, with aerobic respiration involving glucose and oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water.
- Aerobic respiration consists of glycolysis, pyruvate oxidation, the citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation, where high-energy electrons from glucose are transferred via NADH and FADH2 to the electron transport chain for ATP synthesis.
