Question

Cellular respiration consists of several multistep processes. These include glycolysis, formation of acetyl CoA, Krebs cycle, electron transport, and chemiosmosis. Glycolysis is the initial process in cellular respiration as well as in fermentation. Formation of acetyl CoA, Krebs cycle, electron transport, and chemiosmosis are processes that are common to both aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration but are not found in fermentation reactions.

Answer 1

Answer:

The basic processes of cellular respiration are: glycolysis, followed by Krebs cycle, the electron transport chain and chemiosmosis.

Explanation:

This task asks one to arrange the basic processes of cellular respiration in the correct order.

Place the major steps of cellular respiration in order by dragging the appropriate figure to each box.

Cellular Activity 1. Glycolysis pathway- The reaction starts with glucose. In the process, glucose is oxidized and split into two 3-carbon compounds. The byproducts is 2 ATP, 2 NADH, and 2 molecules ofpyruvate.

Cellular Activity 2. Krebs cycle- The Krebs cycle follows glycolysis, its an aerobic process but before the glycolysis end-product enters the Krebs cycle, it must first undergo loss of CO2, oxidation, and attachment to coenzyme A to form acetyl CoA.

Cellular Activity 3. Electron transport chain and chemiosmosis pathway- Here we observe that electron carriers such as NADH and FADH2 that are carrying electrons are removed during oxidation steps gets to the electron transport chain and loss their electrons to the chain.

As electrons move along the chain, the energy they lose as they are sequentially made accessible to lower-level electron carriers and electrons eventually to the final electron acceptor is clipped for ATP production.
