In Aerobic Cellular Respiration there is 3 stages. In the 3 stages there is Glycolysis, Krebs Cycle, and Electron Transport Chain. Aerobic Cellular Respiration equation is C6 H12 O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O. All three stages where it all occurs is the Mitochondria. Aerobic Cellular Respiration is only used for Eukaryotic. In Glycolysis, glucose bond’s gets broken down when it enters the cytoplasm. In this process we used 2 ATP in order to split the glucose in half.This will then make the 3 carbon compound. When this happens it releases electrons from the broken bonds. The other electrons that were released get attached to NAD+ making NADH. From the 3 carbon compound molecule the 2 phosphate that is attached to get broken off. The 2 phosphate that 2 ADP to make 2 ATP. This leaves you with a net of 2 ATP. At the end of this process you would be left with 2 pyruvates which will then lead you to the Krebs Cycle. The second stage for Aerobic Cellular Respiration is the Krebs Cycle. The Krebs Cycle is located in the Matrix. It starts off with 2 pyruvate from glycolysis. The pyruvate lose 1 carbon and becomes a 2 carbon compound. The NAD+gets electrons from broken bonds and becomes …show more content…

Photosynthesis is located in the Chloroplast. In Electron Transport Chain 1 (ETC) is located in the thylakoid membrane. The equation of photosynthesis is 6CO2 + 6H2O → 6O2 + C6 H12 O6 First, The light energy hits the Chlorophyll to excite the electrons. The enzymes splits the water and this releases electrons. The released electrons goes into the Chlorophyll to keep the process to continue. The second step of ETC 1 is for the electrons to give energy to the protein pump that allows the hydrogen to move from low to high concentration. The last step of ETC 1 is the production of ATP. Hydrogen ions goes through ATP synthase from high to low concentration. This will allow ADP and Pi to
