Cellular Respiration

Cellular Respitaion
Cellular Respiration - Cells
transfer energy from food
molecules to ATP, the byproduct
is water and carbon dioxide

Heterotroph: An organism that

must eat to obtain energy
Both heterotrophs and
autotrophs do this!

6O2 + C6H12O6
+ 6CO2

ENERGY (ATP)

6H2O

Cell Respiration can take 2 pathways both

start wth GLYCOLYSIS
GLYCOLYSIS

Means Splitting
Glucose
Glucose is broken
down into 2 pyruvate
molecules.
Happens in the
Cytoplasm.
Anaerobic which
means does NOT
require O2
YIELDS: 2 ATP

Oxygen
Present

AEROBIC RESPIRATION

Requires Oxygen
Occurs in
mitochondria
Consists of Krebs
cycle, Electron
Transport Chain
Yields 36-38 ATP

What happens after glycolysis

if there is no O2?
Glycolysis

FERMENTATION

Anaerobic
Happens in cytoplasm,
when the cells are
deprived of O2
Lactic Acid fermentation
happens in muscles.
Cramps result from an
increased acidity level.
Alcohol fermentation
occurs in fungi such as
yeast and some bacteria
to produce ethanol and
CO2
