Understanding:
• Aerobic cell respiration requires oxygen and gives a large yield of ATP from glucose
Aerobic cell respiration requires the presence of oxygen and takes place within the mitochondrion
Pyruvate is broken down into carbon dioxide and water, and a large amount of ATP is produced (~34 – 36 molecules)
Although aerobic respiration typically begins with glycolysis in carbohydrates, glycolysis itself is an anaerobic process
- Aerobic respiration consists of the link reaction, citric acid cycle (or Krebs cycle) and the electron transport chain
