1. Cellular Respiration
-Cellular respiration is process in which cells convert the energy in foods into ATP, which cells can use as energy
C6H12O2 + 6 O2 6 H2O + 6 CO2
-this is the reverse equation of photosynthesis
-much of cellular respiration occurs in the mitochondria

2. Cellular Respiration
-cellular respiration begins outside the mitochondria in a process known as glycolysis
-glycolysis is the process of turning glucose into pyruvic acid which becomes pyruvate, which is used by the mitochondria to produce ATP
-NADH and tiny amount of ATP is generated by this process in itself

3. Cellular Respiration
-much of the ATP that comes from cellular respiration comes from the mitochondria through the Krebs cycle and electron transport chain

4. Cellular Respiration -the pyruvate is transformed into Acetyl
CoA before going
through the Krebs cycle
-as pyruvate is
transformed, it produces
NADH
-in the Krebs cycle, the
Acetyl CoA is broken
down into carbon
dioxide molecules and
ATP, NADH, and FADH2 is produced
