Cellular Respiration

Cellular respiration converts chemical energy in glucos to chemical energy in ATP which is the ultimate source of energy used to do "biological work".

Expected Learning Outcomes

By the end of this course a fully engaged student should be able to

- discus glycolysis, anaerobic respiration, alcohol fermentation, lactic acid fermentation, aerobic respiration, the Kreb's Cycle, and electron transport
- compare and contrast aerobic respiration with anaerobic respiration
- discus why the breakdown of glucose to produce ATP is so much more efficient when oxygen is present
- describe where in the cell the different parts of cellular respiration take place
