The Four Stages in Aerobic Respiration

Where does aerobic respiration occur?

  • Glucose is the main respiratory substrate used by cells

  • Aerobic respiration is the process of breaking down a respiratory substrate in order to produce ATP using oxygen

  • The process of aerobic respiration using glucose can be split into four stages

  • Each stage occurs at a particular location in a eukaryotic cell:

    • Glycolysis takes place in the cell cytoplasm

    • The Link reaction takes place in the matrix of the mitochondria

    • The Krebs cycle takes place in the matrix of the mitochondria

    • Oxidative phosphorylation occurs at the inner membrane of the mitochondria

Four Stages of Respiration Table

 Stage

 Description

 Location

 1. Glycolysis

Phosphorylation and splitting of glucose

 Cell cytoplasm

 2. Link reaction

Decarboxylation and dehydrogenation of pyruvate

 Matrix of mitochondria

 3. Krebs cycle

Cyclical pathway with enzyme-controlled reactions

 Matrix of mitochondria

 4. Oxidative phosphorylation

Production of ATP through oxidation of hydrogen atoms

 Inner membrane of mitochondria

Examiner Tips and Tricks

It’s important to know the exact locations of each stage. It is not enough to say the Krebs cycle takes place in the mitochondria, you need to say it takes place in the matrix of the mitochondria.
