Cellular Respiration: Very good site for glycolysis.  Take your time working
through this, there is
lots of information packed into these animations.  Notice the enzymes and
energy transfers that are shown.

Cellular Respiration: Animation of ATP Synthase.  Very cool.  Think about
protein structure, enzymes
and change of protein shape with the interactions.   Watch for the direction
of flow of the H ions.
