Step 1

a. Cellular respiration requires oxygen: This is true. Cellular respiration is a set of metabolic reactions that take place in the cells of organisms to convert biochemical energy from nutrients into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and then release waste products. Show more…

Key Concepts

Cellular Respiration

A metabolic process that converts glucose into ATP using oxygen. It involves a series of biochemical reactions including glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain, most of which occur in the mitochondria.

Glycolysis

A pathway that breaks down glucose into pyruvate, producing a small amount of ATP and NADH. This process takes place in the cytoplasm and is common to both cellular respiration and fermentation.

Fermentation

An anaerobic process that allows cells to produce ATP from glycolysis in the absence of oxygen. It regenerates NAD+ from NADH, thereby enabling glycolysis to continue, but it produces much less ATP compared to cellular respiration.

Mitochondria

An organelle in eukaryotic cells where most of the processes of cellular respiration, such as the Krebs cycle and electron transport chain, take place. Fermentation, however, occurs in the cytoplasm, not in the mitochondria.
