What is the name of the pathway that begins cellular respiration?

The first step in cell respiration is glycolysis. It occurs in the cytoplasm and breaks down glucose into pyruvic acids.


Is the electron transport part of cellular respiration?

Yes, it's ultimate goal is to produce ATP (adenosine triphosphate), and its end product is a oxygen molecule which then combines with a free floating hydrogen proton to form H2O. The H2O is what is used to start the process of photosynthesis over again because that is where the electron particle comes from to aid in making NADPH (energy).


What is the final stage of aerobic respiration?

The final stage of aerobic respiration is the electron transport chain, which occurs in the inner mitochondrial membrane. In this stage, electrons are transferred through a series of protein complexes, generating ATP through oxidative phosphorylation.


What organelle produces most of the energy that is released during respiration?

The last two phases of cellular respiration, the citric acid cycle and the electron transport chain, take place in the mitochondria. This is the organelle where most of the ATP (energy) from respiration is released.


Where does cellular respiration takes place?

Cellular respiration occurs in three main steps. The first step takes place in the cytoplasm of the cell. The last two steps take place in the mitochondria(or if cellular respiration is taking place inside of a plant then the last two steps would take place in the chloroplasts) of the cell. Specifically, the second step occurs in the matrix of the mitochondria and the last step occurs along the inner membrane of the mitochondria, or the cristae.

Are only 2 ATPs produced for each NADH molecule that enters the last stage of respiration?

The NADH molecule produces of 2 ATPs during the last stage of respiration. Some think that three ATPs are created from the NADH, however, the last stage of respiration is different than ATP and NADH during electron transfers.


What is necessary for cellular respiration?

OxygenGlucose is the substrate. Oxygen is needed as last electron acceptor


What are the reactoants in cellular respiration?

Common substrate is glucose.O2 is used as last electron acceptor.


Does cellular respiration include oxygen?

Yes it is included.It acts as last electron acceptor.

36
