This article explains the process of cellular respiration. It succeeds in fulfilling Glicksman’s purpose to show particularly how cells harness their energy. By guiding you through the process step by step, the article underlines how the energy needed for the cell in order to complete tasks is obtained. The author provides information that will greaten your understanding of how your body and your cell’s function.
1) Cellular respiration releases energy in a much more controlled manner than a car engine releasing energy in gasoline.
2) The beginning phase is labeled glycolysis which occurs inside of the cellular fluid.
3) Aerobic metabolism contain 15 times more molecular energy than anaerobic metabolism, this shows the bodies acute and absolute need for oxygen.
4) The most common molecule that stores and releases energy in a cell is adenosine triphosphate.
5) The first phase, glycolysis, is anaerobic because it does not require the use of oxygen
1) How long did it take to develop a full understanding of cellular respiration and how it works?
2) What is the time frame of this process?
3) Why isn’t the energy released from glucose immediately usable?
4) Is the second stage, the citric acid cycle, the same thing as Kreb’s cycle?
5) In …show more content…
The whole general topic coincides with chapter nine in our book which goes over much of the same information pertaining to cellular respiration. It also follows along with all of the stages in the process as well: the first step being glycolysis, second the citric acid cycle or in other words Kreb’s cycle, and third the electron transport chain. Each stage goes into more depth and clarification. The article goes on further to express the importance of oxygen and it necessary presence in order to obtain energy and also lists a few import points that should be remembered about the
