Cellular Respiration

Cellular Respiration
Objective: Students will be able to model how food and oxygen that animals take in are broken down to release energy for cells to help our bodies maintain homeostasis.

Cellular Respiration
Process that cells use to release energy from food while using oxygen C6H12O6 + 6O2 6CO2+ 6H2O + energy

Cellular Respiration
Animals, plants, and other organisms can all use cellular respiration.

Cellular Respiration
Cellular respiration takes place in 2 locations. 1st the cytoplasm 2nd as long as oxygen is present the mitochondria.

1st steps
Food we eat is broken down through digestion into smaller parts.

1st steps
The glucose in the food we eat gets transported by the blood into the cells

Glycolysis
Glucose enters the cell, but is too big to enter the mitochondria.

Glycolysis
Glucose has to be broken in half using a process called glycolysis..

Glycolysis
Glycolysis produces 2 molecules of pyruvate (3 carbon sugars), 4 ATP and 2 NADH.

Glycolysis
To break the bond in glucose 2 ATP were used.

Glycolysis
So we end up with only 2 ATPs of energy and 2 NADH

Glycolysis
ATP and NADH are used by the cell to do work, make proteins, grow, and more.

Cellular Respiration
When there is oxygen, the 2 pyruvates enter the mitochondria to become a part of the Krebs cycle and electron transport chain.

Cellular Respiration
The Krebs cycle breaks down the pyruvate to release 2 ATP, 8 NADH, and 2 FADH2.

Cellular Respiration
ATP, NADH, and FADH2 all work as energy carriers. NADH and FADH2 help the electron transport chain.

Cellular Respiration
The electron transport chain uses the NADH and FADH2 to make 32 ATP.

Cellular Respiration
Overall Glycolysis - 2 ATP Krebs cycle - 2 ATP Electron Transport chain - 32 ATP Total per molecule of glucose - 38 ATP

What for?
The more mitochondria a cell has the more energy it can release from our food.

What for?
All of the ATP in the body is used to help maintain homeostasis.

What for?
Homeostasis is how the body stays alive, keeps a constant body temp, moves, and reacts.
