Cellular respiration is the set of metabolic reactions and processes that take place in the cells of organisms to convert biochemical energy from nutrients into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and then release waste products (Wikipedia, n.d.). Metabolism affects the processing of a pear as it moved through the process of cellular respiration. Furthermore, there are three steps in the cellular respiration process.
The three-stage process consists of glycolysis, the Krebs Cycle, and the electron transport chain, and the purpose of the process is to convert glucose and oxygen to ATP and to release carbon dioxide and water (Wikipedia, n.d.). In the glycolysis stage of the process, there is one glucose molecule that is in the cell’s cytoplasm, and …show more content…
The stages are the glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and the electron transport (Daempfle, 2016). Cellular respiration begins with a molecule of glucose, which has carbon atoms. The first stage of the process is glycolysis and it takes place in the cytoplasm. During this stage, glucose (C6) is split into two three-carbon (C3) molecules and this releases energy, which is then transferred to ATP (Vidyasagar, 2015). Energy is needed to start glycolysis because it has to split the glucose molecule into two separate molecules. After the split, the two molecules go on to the second stage of cellular respiration. In the second stage, energy is released and is used to make four molecules of ATP (Cellular Respiration, n.d.). Finally, in this stage, high energy electrons are transferred to molecules of NAD to produce two molecules of NADH. The NADH is used in stage 3 of the process to make more ATP. Furthermore, in stage 2, the molecules enter the matrix of the mitochondrion, where they begin the citric acid cycle. This cycle pyruvic acid, which contains 3 carbon atoms, is split apart and combined with oxygen from carbon dioxide and released as a waste product. Electrons filled with energy are also released and captured in NADH. This produces citric acid, which has six carbon atoms and after the citric acid forms, it goes through reactions and energy is released …show more content…
