Key concepts students will learn:

  • The main goal of cellular respiration is to produce ATP, which is the energy currency of the cell.

  • The three main steps of aerobic cellular respiration are glycolysis, the Krebs Cycle, and the electron transport chain and chemiosmosis.

  • In the electron transport chain, oxygen acts as the final electron acceptor, combining with hydrogens to produce water.
