Your prompt is:
Heterotrophs take in glucose from the environment and break it down to release usable energy. In the presence of oxygen, some heterotrophs can break down glucose very efficiently using cellular respiration. Describe in detail how glucose is broken down in the presence of oxygen and without oxygen (respiration and fermentation), including glycolysis, breakdown of pyruvate, Kreb cycle (Citric Acid Cycle), and oxidative phosphorylation.

***At least one in text citations is provided per paragraph in APA 7 format (Author Last Name, Year) immediately after the first reference is made.

1. Describe the differences between the aerobic cellular respiration and fermentation, including the waste products of fermentation. ( Provide at least one paragraph with examples.)

2. Describe the process of glycolysis including the amount of energy intermediaries produced, products, and reactants. ( Provide at least one paragraph with examples.)

3. Describe the process of the breakdown of pyruvate including the amount of energy intermediaries produced, products, and reactants. ( Provide at least one paragraph with examples.)

4. Describe the process of the Kreb Cycles (Citric Acid Cycle) including the amount of energy intermediaries produced, products, and reactants. ( Provide at least 1 paragraph with examples for each topic.)

5. Describe the process of oxidative phosphorylation including the amount of energy intermediaries produced, products, and reactants. Focus on the electron transport chain, ATP synthase, and electrochemical gradients.
( Provide at least 1 paragraph with examples for each topic.)

6. Describe the process of anaerobic cellular respiration in bacteria (please note that it is very different from fermentation.) ( Provide at least 1 paragraph with examples for each topic.)
