During these initial reactions, water is used and oxygen is released. The energy from sunlight is converted into a small amount of ATP and an energy carrier called NADPH. Together with carbon dioxide, these are used to make glucose (sugar) through a process called the Calvin Cycle.
The electron transport chain of the cellular respiration process produces maximum ATP.
There are three parts of cellular respiration:
Glycolysis, which produces 2 ATP.
Krebs cycle, which does not produce any ATP. It produces only the raw materials for ATP production.
Oxidative phosphorylation, which involves the electron transport chain that produces maximum ATP. It takes one NADH molecule via Channel 1 to produce 2.5 ATP and one FADH2 molecule via channel 2 to produce 1.5 ATP, for a total of 34 ATP.
Your brain sends signals to your body to release hormones that make you tired. This is done as a routine, and trying to sleep at different times will mess it up.
Hope this helps!
