harvesting chemical energy cellular respiration is a complex prices in which cells make ATP. both autotrophs and heterotrophs use cellular respiration. overview of cellular respiration first is glycolysis organic compounds are converted into three carbon molecules OF pyruvic acid producing a small amount of ATP and NADH. second is aerobic respiration its oxygen is present in the cells environment pure Vic acid is broken down and NADH is used to make a large amount of ATP this is aerobic respiration Glycolysis is a biochemical pathway in which one six carbon molecule of glucose is oxidized to produce 2 three carbon molecules of pyruvic acid. is a series of chemical reactions catalyzed by specific enzymes. Glycolysis happens in four steps step 1 2 prostate groups are text to one molecule of glucose forming a new six carbon compound is 2 phosphate group in step two the six carbon compound formed instep one is split into two three carbon molecule
