Put the stamps of cellular respiration in order

1) two molecules of pyruvate into the mitochondria where They are converted into acetyl CoA. More n a d h is produced and c 02 is released
The electron transport chain the NA.DH and FAD H2 give up electrons.Energy is released and captured as it moves from a high concentration to a low concentration.Energy is used to produce about thirty two - thirty four a t p
Glycolysis takes place in the cytoplasm and breaks down glucose to form two molecules of pyruvate 2 ATP are produced and NADH is saved for later
Citric acid /Krebs cycle the carbons that are left from the initial glucose are oxidized, releasing more co2 NADH and Fadh2 And 2 ATP molecules are produced

The process of cellular respiration consists of several key stages. Here’s the correct order of the steps you provided:

  1. Glycolysis takes place in the cytoplasm and breaks down glucose to form two molecules of pyruvate. 2 ATP are produced and NADH is saved for later.

  2. Two molecules of pyruvate enter the mitochondria where they are converted into acetyl CoA. More NADH is produced, and CO2 is released.

  3. Citric Acid / Krebs Cycle: The carbons that are left from the initial glucose are oxidized, releasing more CO2, NADH, FADH2, and 2 ATP molecules are produced.

  4. The Electron Transport Chain: The NADH and FADH2 give up electrons. Energy is released and captured as it moves from a high concentration to a low concentration. Energy is used to produce about 32-34 ATP.

So, the sequence is:

  1. Glycolysis
  2. Conversion of pyruvate to acetyl CoA
  3. Citric Acid/Krebs Cycle
  4. Electron Transport Chain
