Cellular Respiration and Fermentation — ATP, Glycolysis, and Energy Pathways Explained | Chapter 9 of Campbell Biology
Cellular Respiration and Fermentation — ATP, Glycolysis, and Energy Pathways Explained (Chapter 9) Welcome to Last Minute Lecture! This post covers the essential processes of cellular respiration and fermentation as presented in Chapter 9 of Campbell Biology . Learn how cells harvest energy from glucose, generate ATP, and survive when oxygen is scarce. Watch the full video summary below and subscribe for clear, chapter-by-chapter science explanations! Introduction: How Cells Extract Energy Cells rely on complex biochemical pathways to extract energy from organic fuels, primarily glucose, in order to synthesize ATP—the universal energy currency. Chapter 9 details three main stages of cellular respiration: glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation. It also explains how fermentation enables ATP production when oxygen is limited. Overview of Cellular Respiration Catabolic Pathway: Cellular respiration breaks down organic molecules, releasing energy...
