Learning Objective
I can describe how cells use cellular respiration to produce energy.
- 1
The main goal of cellular respiration is to produce ATP, which is the energy currency of the cell.
- 2
The three main steps of aerobic cellular respiration are glycolysis, the Krebs Cycle, and the electron transport chain and chemiosmosis.
- 3
In the electron transport chain, oxygen acts as the final electron acceptor, combining with hydrogens to produce water.
