KEY TAKEAWAYS •
Almost all cells will make use of glycolysis in order to start the breakdown process of glucose.
•
There is a transition phase between glycolysis and the Krebs cycle.
•
There is a difference between fermentation and anaerobic metabolism, with fermentation having specific end-products, such as lactic acid.
•
The Krebs cycle can be done by anaerobes and aerobes.
•
Most of the ATP is gotten through oxidative phosphorylation and the electron transport chain.
•
Photosynthesis is not the opposite of glucose catabolism. It makes use of lightdependent reactions and light-independent reactions in order to make glucose.
•
The Calvin cycle is a light-independent reaction cycle that makes glyceraldehyde3-phosphate.
