Front

What are the stages of anaerobic and aerobic respiration?

Back

1. Glycolysis in cytoplasm (no oxygen, 2 ATP) 2. Krebs cycle in mitochondria (oxygen required, 2 ATP) 3. Electron transport chain in mitochondria (oxygen required, 34 ATP) Total: 38 ATP.

In the cytoplasm.

Front

What is the role of the Krebs cycle?

Back

To produce electron carriers (NADH and FADH2) for the electron transport chain.

Front

What is the function of the electron transport chain?

Back

To produce ATP through oxidative phosphorylation.

Front

What is catabolism?

Back
