If your talking about gas kinetics (VO2) your looking at 3 phases.
Phase 1: Cardio-Dynamic phase (15 secs into exercise)
Phase 2: Fundamental/Primary or Fast component (occurs within 3 mins)
Phase 3: Steady state (occurs after 3 minutes)

I’m guessing you are looking for Glycolysis, Citric Acid Cycle, and then Electron Transport/Oxidative Phosphorylation.
Glycolysis happens in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells, while the other two both happen in the mitochondria. The citric acid cycle reactions happen in the matrix of the mitochondria, while electron transport and oxidative phosphorylation happen in the inner mitochondrial membranes.
