Respiratory chain

Thu, 24 Apr 2008 00:00:00 +0200

The respiratory chain ensures the transfer of electrons from reduced compounds to oxygen. In doing so, it generates a large amount of ATP.

Glycolysis

Thu, 24 Apr 2008 00:00:00 +0200

The splitting of glucose is the first step in the breaking down of glucose that enables cells to obtain energy rich molecules of ATP

Krebs cycle

Thu, 24 Apr 2008 00:00:00 +0200

The Krebs cycle is the second step of the cellular respiration which occurs in the mitochondrion. It only yields two ATP and CO₂ but generates a great deal of energized electrons.

Cellular respiration

Thu, 24 Apr 2008 00:00:00 +0200

Cellular respiration enables the cell to harvest energy from organic compounds like glucose. This harvesting is achieved in a two-stage process.
