    The document summarizes the process of cellular respiration, which begins with glycolysis and the oxidation of glucose in the cytosol. This is followed by the citric acid cycle and electron transport chain in the mitochondria, where redox reactions using carrier molecules like NAD+ and FAD+ generate a proton gradient across the mitochondrial membrane. ATP synthase then uses this proton motive force to synthesize ATP through oxidative phosphorylation. Anaerobic respiration is also mentioned as an alternative pathway.
