Textbook Question

Fill in the blanks in this summary map to help you review the key concepts of cellular respiration.

Verified step by step guidance

Identify the three stages of cellular respiration: Glycolysis, Citric Acid Cycle (Krebs Cycle), and Oxidative Phosphorylation.

Fill in (a) with 'Glycolysis' as it is the first stage that produces some ATP.

Fill in (b) with 'Citric Acid Cycle' as it produces many ATP molecules.

Fill in (c) with 'Oxidative Phosphorylation' as it is the stage where the majority of ATP is produced through the electron transport chain and chemiosmosis.

Fill in (d) with 'Electron Transport Chain' as it pulls electrons down to oxygen, which is the final electron acceptor.

Key Concepts

Here are the essential concepts you must grasp in order to answer the question correctly.

Cellular Respiration

Cellular respiration is a metabolic process that converts glucose and other organic fuels into ATP, the energy currency of the cell. It occurs in three main stages: glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation. Each stage plays a crucial role in breaking down glucose and harnessing energy, ultimately producing ATP for cellular work.

Chemiosmosis

Chemiosmosis is the process by which ATP is produced in the mitochondria during oxidative phosphorylation. It involves the movement of protons (H+) across a membrane, creating a proton gradient. This gradient drives the synthesis of ATP as protons flow back through ATP synthase, an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of ADP and inorganic phosphate into ATP.

Electron Transport Chain

The electron transport chain (ETC) is a series of protein complexes located in the inner mitochondrial membrane that facilitate the transfer of electrons derived from NADH and FADH2. As electrons move through the chain, they release energy used to pump protons into the intermembrane space, contributing to the proton gradient essential for ATP production via chemiosmosis.
