What to Focus On
- Cellular respiration is an exergonic (energy-releasing) process.
- It involves the oxidation of food molecules like glucose.
- Enzymes catalyze each step of respiration.
- Occurs in the cytosol.
- Does not require oxygen.
- One glucose molecule yields two pyruvate molecules.
- Pyruvate is converted to acetyl CoA in the mitochondrial matrix.
- Krebs cycle is amphibolic — involved in both breakdown and synthesis of molecules.
- One turn produces 3 NADH, 1 FADH₂, 1 ATP, and 2 CO₂.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Plants only perform photosynthesis, not respiration.
Glycolysis requires oxygen.
CO₂ is released during glycolysis.
Memory Tips
Definition of cellular respiration
Two types of respiration: aerobic and anaerobic
Glycolysis occurs in cytosol, uses no oxygen
Glycolysis: Glucose → 2 Pyruvate + 2 ATP + 2 NADH
