In this blog I want to talk a little about cellular respiration and what I have learned about it. Cellular respiration is series of metabolic processes by which living cells produce energy through the oxidation of organic substances. I wanted to make sure that I wrote down some important information regarding cellular respiration so I took notes. I know that ATP is a common carrier of chemical energy in the cell, and the cellular respiration id the splitting of glucose molecules to transfer energy to ATP. It also has two stages Glycolysis and Aerobic respiration.
During glycolysis small amounts of ATP is produced when glucose is broken down to pyruvate. Pyruvate can go through aerobic respiration (Large amount of ATP) or anaerobic respiration. (Small amounts of ATP) I think that I have a basic understanding of what is going on.
