Intro to Cellular Respiration: The Production of ATP
Cellular respiration is the process by which organic compounds (preferably glucose) are broken apart, releasing energy that is used to produce ATP molecules. Cells need to have ATP because it’s the...
View ArticleCell Respiration Part 1: Anaerobic Respiration (Glycolysis and Fermentation)
Cellular Respiration is divided into two series of biochemical reactions: anaerobic and aerobic reactions. Anaerobic reactions occur in the cytoplasm of the cell and aerobic reactions occur in the...

Transition reaction (Oxidative Decarboxylation) So from Part 1 (Anaerobic Respiration) we left off with these two pyruvate sugars that were formed in the cytoplasm due to glycolysis. If there’s oxygen,...

All right so we have gone from Glycolysis to Fermentation, then if there’s oxygen, we continue on with the the Transition Reaction and the Kreb’s Acid Cycle and now we’ve come to the final series of...
