Cellular respiration is the process by which cells convert glucose into energy, occurring in both plants and animals to produce ATP. It consists of three main stages: glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain, which collectively generate a significant amount of ATP. This process is crucial for supporting vital cellular activities and overall life functions.

Cellular Respiration

The Process of Energy Production in


Cells
Overview of Cellular Respiration
• • Cellular respiration is the process by which
cells convert glucose into energy.
• • Occurs in both plants and animals.
• • Provides ATP, the energy currency of cells.
Stages of Cellular Respiration
• 1. Glycolysis: Breakdown of glucose into
pyruvate in the cytoplasm.
• 2. Krebs Cycle: Occurs in the mitochondria,
producing NADH and FADH2.
• 3. Electron Transport Chain: Produces ATP
using oxygen and high-energy electrons.
Glycolysis
• • First step in cellular respiration.
• • Takes place in the cytoplasm.
• • Converts one molecule of glucose into two
molecules of pyruvate.
• • Produces 2 ATP and 2 NADH.
Krebs Cycle & Electron Transport
Chain
• • Krebs Cycle:
• - Occurs in the mitochondria.
• - Produces CO2, NADH, FADH2, and 2 ATP.

• • Electron Transport Chain:


• - Takes place in the inner mitochondrial
membrane.
• - Uses NADH and FADH2 to produce ATP.
• - Generates approximately 32-34 ATP
Importance of Cellular Respiration
• • Provides energy (ATP) for cellular activities.
• • Supports vital processes like muscle
contraction and cell division.
• • Essential for life in both plants and animals.
