Cellular Respiration

glycolysis → acetyl CoA → citric acid cycle → electron transport chain

sequence of steps as energy is extracted from glucose during cellular respiration.

mitochondrion

In what organelle would you find acetyl CoA formation, the citric acid cycle, and the electron transport chain?

C6H12O6 + 6 O2 → 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + ATP energy

What is the correct general equation for cellular respiration?

glycolysis

Which of the following processes takes place in the cytosol of a eukaryotic cell?

This process splits glucose in half and produces 2 ATPs for each glucose.

Which statement describes glycolysis?

This process produces some ATP and carbon dioxide in the mitochondrion.

Which statement describes the citric acid cycle?

This process uses energy captured from electrons flowing to oxygen to produce most of the ATPs in cellular respiration.

Which statement describes the electron transport chain?
