Describe the aerobic and nonaerobic components of cell respiration. In what part of the cell does each reaction take place? 7. Which stage of cell respiration produces the most ATP? 8. How does an enzyme affect the activation energy of a chemical reaction? 9. Why is it misleading to say that animals perform cell respiration while plants perform photosynthesis? 10. A glucose-fed yeast cell is moved from an aerobic environment to an anaerobic one. For the cell to continue to make ATP at the same rate, approximately how much glucose must it consume in the anaerobic environment compared to the aerobic
