How does the process of cellular respiration convert glucose into ATP in the presence of oxygen?
Answer 1
Amy Brennan
Cellular respiration involves glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation. Glucose is broken down into pyruvate in glycolysis, generating 2 ATP. The Krebs cycle produces NADH and FADH2, which donate electrons to the electron transport chain in oxidative phosphorylation, generating up to 34 ATP molecules using oxygen.
