Cellular Respiration Worksheet

Cellular respiration can take place under two conditions: aerobic and anaerobic. Aerobic respiration involves 3
stages: Glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and the Electron Transport Chain (ETC). Anaerobic respiration involves 2
stages: Glycolysis and Fermentation. Fermentation can take place through 2 different processes: alcohol
fermentation and lactic acid fermentation. Using you textbook and notes from class, summarize the various
forms of cell energetics in the tables below and on the other side of this page.

Aerobic Respiration – happens when oxygen is present

Glycolysis Krebs Cycle ETC
What do you start with?

What do you end with?

What kinds of
energy/hydrogen carriers
are produced?
How many ATP are made?

How many ATP are used?

NET ATP (made – used)

Where does it occur in the

cell?
What kinds of organisms
use aerobic respiration?
 Anaerobic Respiration – happens when oxygen is NOT available
Fermentation
Glycolysis
Alcoholic Lactic Acid
What do you start with?

What do you end with?
