Cellular Respiration

Cellular Respiration- is the set of metabolic reactions and processes that take place in the cells of organisms to convert biochemical energy from nutrients into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and then release waste products.

Cellular respiration is a process used by all organisms. Cellular respiration has multiple stages. Glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain. Cellular respiration creates energy that we can use for our everyday life. It takes in Oxygen and Glucose, a sugar in the body, to create ATP, water, and carbon dioxide.

The glycolysis stage occurs when oxygen is not present and occurs in the cytoplasm of a plant.

The Krebs cycle occurs when oxygen is present.

The electron transport chain uses protein pumps to transport the energy made from the last two stages and also makes more ATP.

Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP)- A high-energy molecule that stores energy so we can function everyday.
