Welcome to this online resource for dance educators, students, and teaching artists! The Elements of Dance are the foundational concepts and vocabulary that help students develop movement skills and understand dance as an artistic practice. The acronym BASTE helps students remember the elements:
A molecule of pyruvate acid travels into a mitochondrion entering the Krebs cycle. In this process it is broken down producing energy in the form of ATP (which travels to the cell), NADH and FADH2 which travel to the electron transport chain.
At this point, there are three possibilities: 1  Aerobic respiration - The Krebs Cycle, also known as the Citric Acid Cycle , produces 2 ATP molecules, 10 carrier molecules, and CO2 from each glucose molecule. The Electron Transport Chain then produces 34 ATP molecules and H2O from the carrier molecules. The bulk of a cell's ATP must be produced in the mitochondria.
