Glycolysis is the process of breaking down glucose into pyruvate, producing two molecules of ATP (per 1 molecule of glucose) in the process. Bioenergetics is the process by which cells transform energy from one form to another. Respiration takes place in both animal and plant cells. It is the process by which energy is released through the breakdown of ATP. Topics covered include:  Bioenergetics and Thermodynamics, Phosphoryl Group Transfers and ATP, Biological Oxidation-Reduction Reactions, Glycolysis, Feeder Pathways for Glycolysis, Fermentation, Gluconeogenesis, & Pentose Phosphate...
