meaning
Cellular respiration is the process by which cells
convert glucose and oxygen into energy, carbon
dioxide, and water.

biological fuels are oxidised in the presence of an

inorganic electron acceptor, such as oxygen, to drive
the bulk production of adenosine triphosphate, which
contains energy.

 PRESENTATION

main
stages
There are three main stages of cellular respiration: glycolysis, the citric acid
cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation.

03/05
 first
cycle
In glycolysis, glucose is broken
down into two pyruvate
molecules, which then enter the
mitochondria for further
processing.
second
cycle
The citric acid cycle, also known
as the Krebs cycle, occurs in
the mitochondria and involves
the breakdown of pyruvate into
carbon dioxide and energy-
carrying molecules like NADH
and FADH2.
third
cycle
The final stage, oxidative
phosphorylation, is where most of
the energy from cellular respiration
is generated. It involves the
transfer of electrons from NADH
and FADH2 to oxygen, creating a
proton gradient that powers ATP
synthesis.

overall
Cellular respiration is the process by which cells
convert glucose and oxygen into energy, carbon
dioxide, and water.

Overall, cellular respiration is an essential process for

all living organisms, providing the energy needed for
cells to carry out their functions.
