Study Notes

Introduction to Cellular Respiration and Energy Metabolism

This process generally happens in three main stages, though sometimes an initial step, glycolysis, is considered separate or the "first" phase.

  1. Glycolysis: This literally means "sugar splitting." It happens in the cytoplasm of your cells. Here, one molecule of glucose is broken down into two molecules of pyruvate. This step doesn't need oxygen and produces a small amount of ATP and some electron carriers (NADH).
