Cellular Respiration

Summaries

Overview of Respiration: 
          ATP is made when Cellular Respiration breaks down sugar. However, the Cellular Respiration needs oxygen for its process to occur. Without it, there won't be any ATP and nothing will take place in the mitochondria. The mitochondria plays an important role in the cell membrane. It releases chemical energy that is needed to produce ATP. The Cellular Respiration can also be known as the opposite of photosynthesis.

          I learned how ATP's are made and what is needed for it to be produce. I learned that glycolysis is needed for Cellular Respiration otherwise, ATP will not be made. I also learned that Cellular Respiration takes place in two main stages. Which are the Krebs Cycle and Electron Transport.

Cellular Respiration in Detail I & II:
          Glycolysis is able to produce a small amount of ATP's. However, Glycolysis and oxygen is needed in the Cellular Respiration to make many more. Also, the Cellular Respiration is divided into two main parts. The Krebs Cycle and the Electron Transport.

          I learned the process of the glycolysis. I learned that the Krebs cycle can also be known as the citric acid cycle due to the fact that citric acid was the first molecule that was formed. I also learned about the process of both the Krebs Cycle and the Electron Transport Chain. The graph differentiating photosynthesis and cellular respiration has taught me that there are a lot of differences between the two.
