Cellular respiration “is the process of breaking sugar into a form that the cell can use as energy” (simple.wikipedia). In Cellular respiration there are 3 steps. Glycolysis, Krebs cycle, and the Electron Transport Chain. “Cells release energy from the chemical bonds of food molecules and provide that energy for the essential processes of life. All cells carry out cellular respiration” (hyperphysics). The cellular respiration equation is C6H12O6+6O2>6H2O+6CO2+ATP. These are the three steps of Cellular Respiration. Glycolysis is the first step and it begins with glucose. Glycolysis is in the cytoplasm and anaerobic so it doesn’t need oxygen. “Glycolysis breaks down glucose and forms pyruvate with the production of two molecules of ATP” (Hyperphysics).
