|---|---|
 cellular respiration | process that releases energy by breaking down glucose and other food molecules in the presence of oxygen |
| overall reaction for 3 stages of cellular respiration | Glycolysis: glucose broken in half, making pyruvic acid Krebs cycle: pyruvic acid broken down to harvest energy from bonds Electron transport chain: ATP made |
| process of glycolysis | process in which one molecule of glucose is broken in half, producing two molecules of pyruvic acid, a 3-carbon compound |
| two types of fermentation | Lactic acid and Alcoholic |
| amounts of ATP produced in each stage of cellular respiration | 2 molecules |
| cellular respiration and daily life | lactic acid produced as waster product in fermentation; production of food and beverages like cheese, yogurt, buttermilk, and sour cream |
| Equation for cellular respiration | glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water + ENERGY |
