    Cellular respiration is the process by which cells use oxygen to break down glucose and other food molecules to capture energy in the form of ATP. It occurs through a series of steps, beginning with glycolysis in the cytoplasm which produces some ATP and pyruvic acid. The pyruvic acid then enters the mitochondria and undergoes further oxidation through the Krebs cycle and electron transport chain, producing much more ATP. Aerobic respiration requires oxygen and produces 36-38 ATP per glucose molecule. Anaerobic respiration takes place without oxygen through fermentation, producing lactic acid or alcohol and allowing glycolysis to continue for a short time with less ATP yield.

    Cellular Respiration

    The reactions that allow the cell to use


    food for energy

    ATP
    O Adenosine

    triphosphate (ATP)
    is considered the
    energy currency of
    life. If a Phosphate
    breaks off, it forms
    ADP and releases
    energy.

    Chemical Energy
    O Energy stored

    in the bonds
    between atoms
    in molecules.

    Glucose has energy


    between the C and H
    bonds.

    Cellular Respiration
    O Cellular respiration

    is the process of
    oxidizing food
    molecules (like
    glucose) to CO2 &
    water in order to
    trap energy as
    ATP

    Glycolysis

    Oxidation
    of Pyruvic
    acid

    =ATP

    6O2 + C6H12O6 6CO2 + 6H2O +


    ATP

    Mitochondria
    O Membrane-

    bound
    organelles in
    most eukaryotic
    cells. Their main
    function is to
    convert the
    potential energy
    of food
    molecules into
    ATP.

    Glycolysis
    O The most ancient metabolic pathway.

    The first step of respiration which


    happens in the cytoplasm. It makes
    2ATP & Pyruvate.

    Aerobic Respiration
    O Uses oxygen to break

    molecules into ATP.


    O Takes place in the
    mitochondria.
    O Glycolysis gets it
    going. Krebs cycle
    and electron transport
    chain finish the job.
    O Produces 36-38 ATP

    Glycolysis
    Oxidation
    of Pyruvic
    acid

    =36-38
    ATP

    Aerobic Respiration

    Krebs Cycle
    O Also called the citric acid

    cycle.
    O Uses the pyruvic acid
    from glycolysis to make
    citric acid and fill
    electron carriers (NAD+
    NADH).
    O Passes hydrogen
    electrons to the electron
    transport chain.

    Electron Transport Chain


    O Electrons are

    passed through
    carrier proteins in
    the mitochondria
    building up +/charges.
    O Uses high energy
    electrons to convert
    ADP ATP.

    Electron
    Transport
    Chain
    The build up of charges
    across the membranes
    causes ATP synthase to
    spin and cause ADP to
    bond with a P
    (phosphate) which makes
    ATP.

    Anaerobic Respiration
    O A form of respiration using electron

    carriers other than oxygen. It


    regenerates NAD+ by fermenting acids
    or alcohols and allows glycolysis to
    continue.

    Anaerobic Respiration

    Fermentation
    O When there is no

    O2, fermentation
    can restore
    molecules
    needed for
    glycolysis to
    continue.

    Types of Fermentation

    O Produces either:
    O Lactic acid

    fermentation (when
    you exercise hard)
    O Alcoholic fermentation
    (yeast and can be
    used to make beer or
    wine).

    Cheers to Fermentation
    Both beer and wine are
    products of the
    alcoholic fermentation
    of yeast.
