Provides an overview of glycolysis which is the first step in the breakdown of glucose to extract energy for cellular metabolism. The article discusses in detail its two main phases: the energy-requiring phase and the energy-releasing...

A good general review of aerobic and anaerobic respiration. Good graphics and good embedded vocabulary links.

As part of the General Chemistry Virtual Textbook, this site examines a variety of topics related to the Earth's biosphere. Topics covered include Bioenergetics, glycolysis and fermentation, respiration, photosynthesis, and more.

Explains what happens during anaerobic glycolysis and the two types of fermentation that can then take place under anaerobic conditions.

Fermentation of lactic acid occurs during anaerobic respiration. The two-step process is described here, how it takes place in human muscle cells, and industrial applications of lactic acid fermentation.

Explains what anaerobic fermentation is and how it takes place in cells.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Students are provided with an overview of cellular respiration and mitochondria. They will learn the role of cellular respiration and its three stages, describe the...

Resource walks you through the four major stages of cellular respiration which include glycolysis, pyruvate oxidation, the citric acid or Krebs cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation and traces how they connect up to one another.

This article investigates how cellular respiration can be sped up or slowed down in response to ATP levels and other metabolic signals.

This comprehensive study guide covers the main terms and concepts needed for a unit on cellular respiration.

This excellent interactive website about cellular respiration provides an overview then goes into the details that can be so difficult to understand. The practice, review, and quiz pages should help solidify understanding.

Informative text is clearly written and supported by good illustrations and charts as well. A quiz is also provided at the bottom of the site.

How pyruvate from glycolysis is converted to acetyl CoA so it can enter the citric acid cycle. Pyruvate is modified by removal of a carboxyl group followed by oxidation, and then attached to Coenzyme A.

This lesson will give a general overview of cellular respiration and describe why it is important. It is 4 of 4 in the series titled "Cellular Respiration Introduction."
