Energy at the cellular level is in the form of ATP
(adenosine triphosphate). There are three ways to produce ATP: glycolysis, beta
oxidation, arobic respiration and oxidative phosphorylation. Glycolysis occurs
in the cell cytoplasm. Oxidative phosphorylation and aerobic respiration happen
in the cell’s mitochondria. Beta oxidation occurs in the cytosol (for
prokaryotes) and in the mitochondria (for eukaryotes).
