This course on Cellular Respiration aims to teach the 4 principal stages of cellular respiration, including glycolysis, pyruvate oxidation, the Kreb’s cycle, and the electron transport chain. Students will also learn about anaerobic cellular respiration such as lactic acid fermentation and ethanol fermentation. The course covers topics such as ATP, enzymes, and oxidative phosphorylation. The teaching method includes explanations, examples, and practice problems. This course is intended for biology students or anyone interested in learning about cellular respiration.
