ENGLISH Circular Respiration

This document describes cellular respiration, which converts organic molecules from digested food into carbon dioxide, water, and ATP. It discusses both aerobic respiration, which occurs in mitochondria using oxygen, as well as anaerobic respiration which occurs without oxygen and generates fewer ATPs. The key processes involved in aerobic respiration are glycolysis, the Krebs cycle in the mitochondrial matrix, and the electron transport chain.

AEROBIC ANAEROBIC pyruvate will undergo anaerobic respiration.
“Fewer” ATPs are generated compared to Aerobic
This is divided into 2 processes: 1. Krebs

Fermentation
• also known as Citric Acid Cycle
• occurs in the mitochondrial matrix
• acetyl-CoA is oxidized(losses
electrons) to form CO2 and NAD and
FAD are reduced (gains electrons).
