Question

List and describe the three steps involved in aerobic cellular respiration in order. state what is made and used and how much ATP is made at each step

Answer 1

The three steps of cellular respiration are 1 glycolysis 2 TCA cycle 3 Oxidative phosphorylation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Glycolysis During glycolysis glucose is used and pyruvate is made.2 molecules of ATP is made in Glycolysis .

TCA cycle During TCA cycle Acetyl CoA is used and oxaloacetate is formed.2 molecules of GTP is produced during TCA cycle.2 molecules of GTP is equivalent to 2 molecules of ATP.

Oxidative phosphorylation During this process NADH,FADH2 are used and water is formed.34 molecules of ATP is generated during oxidative phosphorylation.
