What is the purpose of glycolysis and cellular respiration?

Glycolysis

Electron Transport System VideoElectron Transport System Video
• Take notes and write down main points.
Electron Transport SystemElectron Transport System• Electron transport chains are redox reactions that transfer electrons from an
electron donor to an electron acceptor.
• The transfer of electrons is coupled to the translocation of protons across a membrane, producing a proton gradient. The proton gradient is used to produce useful work.
