Cellular respiration is a vital part of our everyday world. Cellular respiration is used to make ATP, which is used for many different things. ATP is used for chemical, mechanical, and electrochemical cell work. Along with that, ATP is used in endergonic reactions and also used to run cells. Without ATP energy, no cell would be able to function. Humans, animals, plants, and much more would die without energy to run cells, and therefore our highly structured world would quickly cease to exist.

Glycolysis is the beginning steps for both aerobic and anaerobic pathways. Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell. Glycolysis is where glucose is broken down into two pyruvate molecules. To begin the process, two ATP must be spent. As glucose is being broken down, NADH is generated. The NADH is generated when two PGAL give up electrons and hydrogen atoms to NAD+, which then...
