4 metabolic stages of cellular respiration
- Glycolysis
- Pyruvate oxidation
- Krebs cycle
- Electron transport chain
occurs in cytosol
Glycolysis
- respiration using O2
– in mitochondria
Aerobic respiration
C6H12O6 + 6O2 —>
ATP + 6H2O + 6CO2 (+ heat)
Photosynthesis in?
Chloroplasts
Cellular respiration in?
mitochondria
- Step-by-step breakdown
of high-energy glucose
molecules to release
energy - Takes place day and
night in all living cells - Occurs in stages,
controlled by enzymes

energy
Takes place day and
night in all ___________
living cells
Occurs in stages,
controlled by ________
enzymes
Breakdown of Cellular Respiration
- Glycolysis (splitting of sugar)
- Grooming Phase
- Krebs Cycle (Citric Acid Cycle)
- Electron Transport Chain (ETC)
and Oxidative Phosphorylation
cytosol, just outside of
mitochondria.
Glycolysis (splitting of sugar)
migration
from cytosol to matrix
Grooming Phase
mitochondrial matrix
Krebs Cycle (Citric Acid Cycle)
a. Also called Chemiosmosis
b. inner mitochondrial
membrane.
Electron Transport Chain (ETC)
and Oxidative Phosphorylation
Energy Currency of Cells
ATP
An __________ contains potential energy, much like a
compressed spring.
ATP molecule
When a phosphate group is pulled away
during a chemical reaction, energy is ____________.
released
This cycle is the fundamental
mode of energy exchange in
biological systems.
ATP-ADP Cycle
ATP is constantly
_______ in your cells.
recycled
A working ________
recycles all of its ATP
molecules about once
each minute.
muscle cell
That’s _________ ATP molecules
spent and regenerated
per second!
10 million
Different types of Cellular Respiration
Aerobic respiration
Anaerobic respiration
– Occurs in the presence of
oxygen
– When chemically breaking
down glucose completely,
this process releases large
amounts energy
- Releasing carbon dioxide and
water as waste products.
