Describe the basic process of aerobic cell respiration,  what molecules are needed to begin the process of each major step and what are the products of each major step, and where in the cell does each major step take place?

Expert Solution
Step 1

Introduction:

Aerobic cell respiration is the process by which cells convert glucose and other organic molecules into energy in the form of ATP. It involves a series of biochemical reactions that take place in the cytoplasm and mitochondria of eukaryotic cells.

 

There are three main stages of aerobic cell respiration:

 

  • Glycolysis
  • Citric Acid Cycle (also known as the Krebs Cycle)
  • Electron Transport Chain (ETC)
