Cellular Respiration CK-12 Foundation

cellular respiration  Cellular respiration is the process by which organisms use oxygen to break down food molecules to get chemical energy for cell functions  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 converts oxygen and glucose into water and carbon dioxide Water and carbon dioxide are by- products and ATP is energy that is transformed Summary · Cellular respiration takes the energy stored in glucose and transfers it to ATP · Cellular respiration has three stages: glycolysis,

Mitochondria are complex organelles in the cell where cellular respiration or oxidation occurs They are responsible for most of the energy used by eukaryotic Cellular respiration is a collection of three unique metabolic pathways: glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and the electron transport chain Glycolysis is an
