Why does it occur?/ Why is it important?

# data[].attributes.body
-provides energy for living beings that allows them to carry out all functions they need to to survive
-it is the basis of all energy in living beings
-protects cells from lethal temperatures and allows them to last longer
-produces and transfers energy in a controlled manner

# data[].attributes.body
Takes place in the mitochondria membrane electron transport chain.
Uses energy released form transport chain to produce ATP.
A new phosphate group added from released energy
34 ATP's are produced, NADH+ and FADH+ are oxidized, redox potential is higher and electron donors are completely oxidized

# data[].attributes.body
Cell respiration occurs in 2 stages, which occur respectively in 2 parts of the cell. These stages are called Substrate level Phosphorylation and Oxidative Phosphorylation

# data[].attributes.body
Takes place in the mitochondria.
A phosphate group is transferred from a substrate to ATP.
Substrate is partially oxidized
The process is direct and takes place by a coupled reaction.
4 ATP's are produced, NAD and FAD are reduced and redox potential is lower.
