There are four main steps in cellular respiration are glycolysis, Link Reaction, Krebs Cycle and Hydrogen Transport Chain.

In glycolysis, glucose molecules are broken down into pyruvate and pyruvic acid. Two molecules of ATP are produced in this cycle. This is fed into a link reaction, where some chemical rearrangement occurs.

The Krebs cycle, also called the Citric acid cycle, allows extensive rearrangement of the atoms to occur. 2 molecules of ATP are produced in this cycle, bringing the total to four so far. Carbon dioxide is released as a byproduct, while the hydrogen atom is passed on to the next cycle.

The hydrogen transport chain, also called the electron transport chain, is the last step of cellular respiration. In this phase, the electron belonging to the hydrogen is passed along a chain of receptors, with oxygen as the final receptor. The hydrogen atom is not used up in the reaction. This step provides the most ATP, with 32 molecules being produced.

How are the step of cellular different when it is anaerobic respiration?

The steps of cellular respiration is different when it is anaerobic respiration compared to aerobic respiration. The main difference is because aerobic respiration uses oxygen and anaerobic uses other elements but the other steps are similar.


Do all of the steps of cellular respiration need oxygen?

No; and those that do not are called anoxic steps.


Is carbon dioxide a reactant in cellular respiration?

Yes, carbon dioxide is produced as a byproduct of cellular respiration in the mitochondria of cells. It is not a reactant in the initial steps of cellular respiration, but is produced during the Krebs cycle and then released as waste.


What organelle is the primary focus of cellular respiration?

The mitochondria is where two important steps, the Kreb's cycle and oxidative phosphorylation, of cellular respiration take place. This organelle is central in respiration and is often called "the powerhouse" of the cell.

What is the temporary storage of energy in ATP molecules is part of which process?

The temporary storage of energy in ATP molecules is part of cellular respiration. During cellular respiration, glucose is broken down in a series of steps to produce ATP, which is used as the main energy source for cellular activities.
