Front

What are the three main stages of cellular respiration?

Back

Glycolysis, Krebs cycle, Electron transport chain

Front

What is glycolysis and where does it occur?

Back

Glycolysis is the first stage of cellular respiration that breaks down glucose into pyruvate, occurring in the cytoplasm.

Front

What is the role of NADH in cellular respiration?

Back

NADH carries high-energy electrons to the electron transport chain.

Back

Citric acid cycle

Front

What is produced during the Krebs cycle?

Back

ATP, NADH, FADH2, and carbon dioxide.
