Objective: Name and describe the general relationships among the
three steps of cellular respiration.
| glycolysis: |
breaks 1 molecule of glucose into 2 molecules of pyruvic
acid |
| Krebs cycle: |
takes products from glycolysis (in the form of acetyl
coenzyme A) and extracts "high energy" electrons (using redox
reactions). |
| electron transport system: |
takes electrons from glycolysis and the Krebs cycle and
uses them to form ATP. |
