What drives all energy within the Cell?
ATP
Why does ATP produce energy?
When ATP is hydrolyzed to ADP, it produces energy due to the release of energy from the chemical reaction (exothermic reaction)
How do human cells produce ATP
Mitochondria produce ATP through Cellular Respiration
What form of respiration do anaerobic cells use?
Glycolysis
Why is glycolysis less efficient than cellular respiration?
Glycolysis does not require oxygen and only produces 2 net ATP
What differentiates Cellular respiration from glycolysis?
The presence of oxygen through an electron transport chain
