Cellular Respiration
Review
Living
organisms
require
to perform cellular work.
Energy
flows into most ecosystems as
and
leaves
as
.
Electron
transfer drives the transformation of energy and occurs through
reactions.
Molecules such as NAD
+
and FAD act as electron
in redox
reactions.
In cellular respiration,
redox
reactions occur in a series of steps called the
transport
chain
to form
.
Cellular
respiration
comprises three metabolic stages:
,
acid cycle, and
phosphorylation.
occurs in the
to produce two molecules of
from the metabolism of one
molecule.
The
is
converted
to
CoA, which enters the
acid
cycle.
During
phosphorylation, NADH and FADH
2
donate
to the
ETC
to produce even more
ATP.
Review: Cellular Respiration
In
conditions, glycolysis may be
followed
by
.
Other organic molecules such as
and
can also enter cellular respiration via different
pathways.
