Introduction

Cellular respiration is a major process in the body that involves three metabolic pathway such as glycolysis, citric acid cycle and electron transport chain. Glycolysis is a metabolic pathway that involves series of steps in order to breakdown glucose to produce energy (ATP). The end product of the glycolytic pathway is two molecules of 3 carbon sugar, pyruvate. 

Anatomy and physiology I (A&P I) is a study that deals with the structure and functions of the human body such as cells, tissues, organs, and organ systems.
