Question

cellular respiration is a biochemical process that converts nutrients into _. the main energy carrier molecule in cells is _. the first stage of cellular respiration, called glycolysis, occurs in the _ of the cell. in glycolysis, one molecule of _ is broken down into two molecules of pyruvate. the second stage of cellular respiration is the citric _ cycle, which happens in the mitochondria. during the citric acid cycle, pyruvate is converted into carbon _, which is released as waste. the last stage of cellular respiration, the _ transport chain, produces the most atp. _ is the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain.

Explanation:

Cellular respiration converts nutrients to ATP. ATP is the main energy - carrier. Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm and breaks glucose into pyruvate. The second stage is the citric acid cycle in mitochondria, where pyruvate is converted to carbon dioxide. The last stage is the electron transport chain which produces the most ATP, and oxygen is the final electron acceptor.

Answer:

1. ATP
2. ATP
3. cytoplasm
4. glucose
5. Acid
6. dioxide
7. electron
8. Oxygen
