CELLULAR RESPIRATION (Cellular Respiration) BY Chantel Richardson and Hunter Kratochvil

Cellular respiration is the process by which the chemical energy of "food" molecules is released and partially captured in the form of ATP. Carbohydrates, fats, and proteins can all be used as fuels in cellular respiration, but glucose is most commonly used as an example to examine the reactions and pathways involved. It takes place in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. You have two different kinds of repiration Aerobic and Anaerobic, Anaerobic repiration may also be called Fermentation.

Aerobic Respiration has three stages:

  1. Glycolysis,

  2. Krebs Cycle

  3. Electron Transport.

Anaerobic Respiration(Fermentation)

  • However, anaerobic respiration proceeds through the following path:

  • Glycolysis

  • Kerb cycle ,

  • Transfers chain of the electron( which has the electron acceptor at the terminal end (without the requirement of oxygen).
