Please ignore this ppl of CS, this is for a class of mine >.>
1: A wolf taking in O2 and sugar ***Sugar comes from food actually, my mistake!*** from the plant that has just gone through photosynthesis.
2: A process in the cytoplasm ***Please ignore that it is a mitochondria, I messed up, let's say it's cytoplasm***, spliting glucose, a 6-carbon compound, into two 3-carbon pyruvate molecules. It uses two ATP molecules, but in the end, forms four ATP molecules. This gives a net gain of two ATP molecules.
3: The glucose molecule is split into two pyruvate molecules, which are converted into the acetyl-CoA that move through the Krebs cycle. Here I just stated the equation 2 acetyl-CoA + 2 oxaloacetate → 4 CO2 + 2 oxaloacetate + 6 NADH + 2 FADH2 + 2 ATP. And the mitochondria is saying "This takes place in my matrix" ***The dots are how many of the molecule is included***
4: The third and lastly stage of cellular respiration is the electron transport chain. It produces a significant amount of ATP than any other stage of cellular respiration. The stage takes place in the inner membrane of the mitochondria, requiring oxygen, and that oxygen is used to make the water molecules. I did not put everything to the stage, because I had no room. But it basically reforms NAD+ and FAD, which are sent back to participate in earlier stages of respiration, just to continue again.
