Introduction/ Background Cellular respiration is a process that releases chemical energy from glucose and other carbon-based molecules to produce ATP when oxygen is present. The formula for cellular respiration is C6H12O6+ 6O2= 6CO2= 6H2O. The process of respiration contains three main parts, glycolysis, Krebs cycle, and the Electron Transport Chain. The process of glycolysis takes place in the cytoplasm and is considered an anaerobic process which splits glucose into two three-carbon molecules and makes two molecules of ATP. The Krebs cycle takes place in the interior space of the mitochondria and gives off carbon dioxide as a waste product when sugars are broken down. The Electron Transport Chain takes place in the
