Cellular respiration is a metabolic reaction that occurs in cells that convert biochemical energy into ATP and release waste products. It is aerobic respiration. It contains four-stage:
Glycolysis
In this process, glucose is breakdown into 2 molecules of pyruvate and release ATP and NADPH as energy.
Link reaction
In link reaction, pyruvate molecule pumped into mitochondria and 1 hydrogen and 1 carbon dioxide molecule will be removed from pyruvate and it will produce acetyl group which finally attaches with enzyme CoA and form acetyl CoA which is required by Krebs cycle.
Krebs cycle
When acetyl CoA bind with oxaloacetate it will form 6 carbon atoms. At the end of the Krebs cycle, it will produce 6NADPH, 2 ATP, 2 FADH, AND 4 CO2.
Electron transport chain
During the Krebs cycle, link reaction all hydrogen molecules left can be used in this reaction where hydrogen pumped into mitochondria and electron release. It is a series step that occurs between electron donor and electron acceptor and releases a large amount of ATP.
What are the four major biochemical steps in respiration that result in the production of ATP....
Ch. 9 11) What are the four steps of cellular respiration? What are the initial reactants and final products from each of these steps (include NADH and FADH2)? Where do they occur in the cell/mitochondria? 12) Why is the pyruvate processing step necessary? Why not go straight to the citric acid cycle? 13) What is homeostasis? How does cellular respiration play a role in anabolic reactions (think intermediates)? 14) How are the first three steps of cellular respiration regulated? 15)...
the atp generated by oxidative respiration is used throughout the cell. the majority of atp production occurs in the mitochondrial matrix. how do you think atp is made assecible to enzymes in the cytosol and other organelles?

As we’ve discussed, cancer cells tend to prefer glycolysis to cellular respiration for ATP production in a phenomenon known as the Warburg Effect. Knowing this, propose a method that could be used to halt the progression of cancer cells by altering the “Warburg Effect Pathway”
