Chapter 8.3, Problem 1CYL

Summary Introduction

To summarize:

The three stages of cellular respiration.

Introduction:

Cellular respiration always takes place in the presence of oxygen and it generates 17 times as much ATP as the glycolysis does. Cellular respiration breaks down the two pyruvate molecules produced in glycolysis into six carbon dioxide and six molecules of water. The cellular respiration takes place within mitochondria.

Summary Introduction

To explain:

The process by which ATP is generated by chemiosmosis.

Introduction:

Chemiosmosis is an important stage in the process of cellular respiration. It is a process by which energy is utilized to generate hydrogen ion concentration gradient and then some of the energy is captured in form of ATP as these ions flow through the channel.

Summary Introduction
