Cellular+Respiration

Watch the screencast below for an overview of glycolysis, Krebs cycle, and electron transport:

After watching the video, if you have any questions you would like answered, post them in the discussion area by clicking the discussion tab at the top of the page.

__**Self Quiz:**__ 1) What happens to glucose in glycolysis? 2) Why is the NADH produced during glycolysis important? 3) What could happen to the pyruvic acid from glycolysis if there was not enough oxygen in the cell? 4) Where does the Krebs cycle take place? 5) What are the major products that come from the Krebs cycle? (HINT: there are 4 of them shown in the video) 6) What molecules from both glycolysis and the Krebs cycle are necessary for electron transport to happen? 7) Which process (glycolysis, Krebs, or electron transport) produces the most ATP?
 * After watching the video (or while you are watching) try and answer these questions:**
