Stages of CR
Ch. 9- exam 3- stages of cellular respiration
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What are the three main stages of cellular respiration? | glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and the electron transport chain |
| What are the reactions called that occur between the first and second stage of cellular respiration | Pyruvate Oxidation, where pyruvate is converted into acetyl-CoA. |
| In what way does glycolysis synthesize ATP? | Produces ATP through substrate-level phosphorylation. |
| In what way does citric acid cycle synthesize ATP? | Generates ATP directly through substrate-level phosphorylation. |
| In what way does electron transport chain synthesize ATP? | Produces the most ATP through oxidative phosphorylation, powered by the electron transfer from NADH |
| which stage makes the most | makes the most ATP during cellular respiration |
