membrane. The cristae create two sections in the mitochondrion -
5. The intermembrane space – This lies between the outer and inner membranes.
6. The matrix – This is the inner space enclosed by the inner member. The matrix
contains about 2/3rd of the total mitochondrion protein. It also contains several hundred
enzymes, transfer RNA (tRNA) and copies of the mitochondrial DNA genome.

I. OBJECTIVES:
Explain the process involved in Glycolysis, Krebs Cycle and Electron transport chain.
B. Concepts:
Cellular respiration is the process of extracting energy in the form of ATP from the glucose
in the food you eat. How does cellular respiration happen inside of the cell? Cellular respiration is a
three step process.
1. Glucose is broken down in the cytoplasm of the cell called glycolysis.
2. Pyruvate molecules are transported into the mitochondria. In the mitochondria,
the pyruvate will be converted into a 2-carbon molecule then enters the Krebs Cycle in the cristae.
3. In the electron transport chain, the energy molecules are converted into ATP.
