Question

Whats is the summary chemical equation for aerobic cellular respiration?

Answer 1

Ans

This equation sums up the three steps in aerobic respiration that is glycolysis , Krebs cycle and electron transport chain. Glucose is broken down in the presence of oxygen to pyruvate by the process of glycolysis , the pyruvate so formed is converted to Acetyl co A which enters Kreb's cycle and is converted to carbondioxide and water in a series of reactions . Both these steps produce NADH and FADH2 which act as energy carriers and donate electrons to electron transport chain to generate energy in the form of ATP.
