Cell Respiratio
Stages of Cellular Respiration and Fermentation
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Glycolysis | process that occurs in the cytoplasm whichbreaks down Glucose into Pyruvate, producing a small amount of ATP |
| Citric Acid Cycle | re-occurring process that takes place in the mitochondria that not only completes the breakdown of Glucose but also supplies the third stage with electrons |
| Oxidative Phosphorylation | this stage uses the energy released by falling electrons to pump hydrogen across a membrane to harness the energy of the hydrogen through chemiosmosis, producing ATP |
| ATP | used in glycolysis to energize a glucose molecule which is then split into two |
