Where does cellular respiration take place in the chemical equation?

Answer 1

Cellular respiration takes place in 3 stages, one of these is in the cytoplasm, and the other two inside the mitochondria.

Glycolosis is the first stage, and literally implies sugar splitting

C6H12O6 -> 3C2H4O2

These sugars are oxidised and the remaining atoms form two molecules of pyruvate (CH3COCOOH)

No CO2 is released in this stage, but two molecules of ATP are made, and NAD+ is reduced to NADH

The next stage takes place inside the mitochondria, and is known by a number of names such as the tricarboxylic acid cycle, Krebs cycle or citric acid cycle. The two molecules of pyruvate are converted into Acetyl coenzyme. This cycle produces 3 molecules of CO2, and 2 ATP. NAD+ is further reduced, as is FAD+ -> FADH2

Oxidative Phosphorylation takes place in two steps, called the electron transport chain, and chemiosmosis. The electron transport chain is where the NADH and FADH2 are transported along protein channels int he cristae of the mitochondrial matrix by oxidation and reduction of proteins with higher/lower electron affinities in the complex.

Chemiosmosis is where protons move through the ATP synthase and catalyses ATP production from the formation of ADP and inorganic Phosphate. About 36 ATP is produced.

This should provide a brief overview of cellular respiration.

Answer 2

C6H12O6 + 6O2 ----------> 6H20 + 6CO2 + ENERGY

Glucose Oxygen Water Carbon

Dioxide

Answer 3

During cellular respiration glucose is oxidated and the products are ATP (adenosine triphosphate), water and carbon dioxide.
