• The goal of respiration is to produce ATP.
• Energy is released from oxidation reaction in the form of

    electrons.
• Electrons are shuttled by electron carriers (e.g. NAD+) to an

    electron transport chain (happens in mitochondrial inner
    membrane).
• Electron energy is converted to ATP at the electron transport
    chain.

Phases of cellular respiration

1. Glycolysis
2. Pyruvate Decarboxylation (sometimes called the prep reaction;

       connects glycolysis to Krebs cycle).
3. Krebs cycle.
4. Electron transport chain.
