Aerobic Respiration
Asked by Neha Sharma · 1 year ago
What are the main stages of aerobic respiration in plants?
1 Answer
The main stages of aerobic respiration in plants are:
1. Glycolysis (occurs in cytoplasm)
2. Pyruvate oxidation (in mitochondrial matrix)
3. Citric acid cycle or Krebs cycle (in mitochondrial matrix)
4. Electron transport chain and oxidative phosphorylation (inner mitochondrial membrane)
These stages break down glucose to release energy in the form of ATP, with oxygen as the final electron acceptor.
