Cellular respiration occurs in three stages: glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and electron transport.
Q. What are the steps of cellular respiration simple?
Cellular respiration is a metabolic pathway that breaks down glucose and produces ATP. The stages of cellular respiration include glycolysis, pyruvate oxidation, the citric acid or Krebs cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation.

Q. How will you describe cellular respiration in your own words?
Cellular respiration is what cells do to break up sugars to get energy they can use. Cellular respiration takes in food and uses it to create ATP, a chemical which the cell uses for energy. Usually, this process uses oxygen, and is called aerobic respiration.
Q. What is the correct order of cellular respiration?
Ch. 9 Honors Biology Cellular Respiration
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is the correct sequence of stages of cellular respiration? | glycolysis, Krebs Cycle, Electron Transport Chain |
| What is the correct equation for cellular respiration? | C6H12O6 + 6 O2 –> 6 CO2 + 6 H2O |
| What are the products of cellular respiration? | CO2, H2O, ATP |
Q. What are the two phases of aerobic respiration?
Aerobic (“oxygen-using”) respiration occurs in three stages: glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and electron transport.
Q. What are the differences between cellular respiration and photosynthesis?
Photosynthesis converts carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and glucose. Glucose is used as food by the plant and oxygen is a by-product. Cellular respiration converts oxygen and glucose into water and carbon dioxide. Water and carbon dioxide are by- products and ATP is energy that is transformed from the process.
Q. What are the three differences between aerobic and anaerobic respiration?
Difference Between Aerobic and Anaerobic Respiration
| Aerobic Respiration | Anaerobic Respiration |
|---|---|
| It can be found in the cytoplasm and the mitochondria. | It can be found only in the cytoplasm. |
| Glucose breaks down into carbon dioxide and water. | Glucose breaks down into ethyl alcohol, carbon dioxide and energy. |
Q. What is the formula of anaerobic respiration?
(glucose + oxygen -> carbon dioxide + water). Anaerobic respiration also produces energy and uses glucose, but it produces less energy and does not require oxygen.
Q. What is anaerobic respiration in simple words?
In anaerobic respiration, glucose breaks down without oxygen. The chemical reaction transfers energy from glucose to the cell. Anaerobic respiration produces lactic acid, rather than carbon dioxide and water.
Q. What is the purpose of anaerobic respiration?
Definition. Anaerobic respiration is the type of respiration through which cells can break down sugars to generate energy in the absence of oxygen. This is in contrast to the highly efficient process of aerobic respiration, which relies on oxygen to produce energy.
Q. Where does the process of anaerobic respiration occur?
Anaerobic respiration (both glycolysis and fermentation) takes place in the fluid portion of the cytoplasm whereas the bulk of the energy yield of aerobic respiration takes place in the mitochondria.
