Aerobic respiration is the process by which organisms use oxygen to turn fuel, such as fats and sugars, into chemical energy like ATP. In this webinar, we will discuss the key reactions, substrates, intermediates, and enzymes involved in the two major pathways of aerobic respiration in mammals: the citric acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation.

On the MCAT

  • Aerobic respiration is a high yield topic, but memorizing ALL the intermediates of the citric acid cycle is not as worthwhile. While we present the entire cycle here, knowing the intermediates is only recommended for high level scorers.

  • The sequence of ETC should be memorized.

Testimonial

I think these webinars are really helpful! I like how they’re styled like a TED talk, so they don’t interfere with the day, but they’re really helpful review 🙂

I found everything helpful about these webinars: the explanations, the illustrations, just everything!

Amazing material conveyed concisely and in great detail!

The wealth of information and sample questions are great.

“These 30 minute FREE, live videos conducted each Friday helped me get through the pandemic. Weike is an exceptional tutor, and being able to ask questions after she’s done was magnificent. These webinars have even helped me in class subjects such as Biochemistry.  I’m looking forward to starting one-on-one tutoring with Cambridge Coaching, and I’m already feeling confident about taking the MCAT when the time comes.”
