Chapter 5: Cellular Respiration advanced
Cellular Respiration --> The human body needs to produce ATP (Energy molecule) in order to conduct daily tasks. This production of ATP takes place through chemical reactions and is given the name Cellular Respiration. Steps of Cellular Respiration: 1. Glycolysis --> Happens in the cytoplasm of the cell, this process breaks apart a sugar molecule into 2 ATP molecules, 2 Pyruvate (Type of acid) molecules, and 2 NADH molecules (Electron carrier, will get into more details later) 2. Pyruvate Oxidation --> Happens in the matrix, Breaks apart the 2 pyruvate made in step 1 into 2 Carbon dioxide molecules, 2 Acetyl COA molecules, and 2 NADH 3. Krebs Cycle --> Happens in the matrix, Breaks 2 Acetyl CoA formed in step 2 into 4 Carbon dioxide molecules, 2ATP, molecules, 6 NADH molecules, and 2 FADH (Transports electrons) molecules 4. Broken into two parts - ETC and Chemiosmosis 1. ETC and Chemiosmosis --> Final step and takes place in...
