Cellular Respiration | Week 1

At the end of this lesson, you should be able to:

• State the meaning of cellular respiration
• Differentiate between respiration and cellular respiration
• Explain the importance of energyEnergy is the ability to do work. Energy exists in several forms such as heat, kinetic or mechanical energy, light, potential energy, and electrical energy. Units of Energy: The SI unit... More to living organisms
• List the forms of respiration
• Describe glycolysis and citric acid cycle
• Explain how pyruvate oxidation prepares the products of glycolysis for the citric acid cycle
• Describe anaerobicAn anaerobic organism or anaerobe is any organism that does not require molecular oxygen for growth. It may react negatively or even die if free oxygen is present. Anaerobic means living,... More respiration and fermentationFermentation is a natural process through which microorganisms like yeast and bacteria convert carbs — such as starch and sugar — into alcohol or acids, anaerobically releasing energy.
