Document Summary

Aerobic respiration: cellular respiration includes catabolic pathways that break down energy rich compounds to produce atp. Aerobic respiration refers to these pathways that require oxygen in order to proceed. There are more than two dozen reactions that take place in different parts of the cell. C6h12o6 (s) + 6 o2 (g) -> 6 co2 (g) + 6h20 (l) + energy. Each glucose molecule is broken down through series of reactions, into two three carbon compounds. Each of these is converted into a three carbon pyruvate molecule. Inorganic phosphate group is added and converts two molecules of nad into two molecules of nadh. The two three-carbon molecules are rearranged and water is removed. Atp, but the two reactions produce 4 atp, therefore net production of 2. Summary: two atp used, 4 atp produced, 2 nad -> nadh glucose + 2 nad + 2 adp + 2 pi -> 2 pyruvate + 2 h2o + 2 nadh + 2 atp.
