CELLULAR RESPIRATION
Name: __________________________ Section: ___________________________
Learning Objectives:
The learners shall be able to:
1. identify the cell structure and function of the mitochondrion as the organelle involved
in respiration;
2. describe the major events of glycolysis, Kreb’s Cycle and electron transport chain;
3. explain how the body balances the energy taken in and with the energy used; and
4. compare and contrast basic features and the importance of photosynthesis and
respiration.
Key Concepts
• Cellular respiration is the process by which organisms use oxygen to break down food
molecules to get chemical energy for cell functions. It is a chemical reaction in
which glucose is broken down in the presence of oxygen, releasing chemical energy and
producing carbon dioxide and water as waste products. This can be of two types: aerobic
and anaerobic respiration.
• Anaerobic respiration
takes place in the absence
of oxygen. The process is
also called fermentation.
They will not enter into
Electron Transport System.
Here, partial glycolysis
results in pyruvic acid.
Pyruvic acid undergoes
further reduction and gives
carbon dioxide and ethanol
along with ATP. This is
known as alcoholic
fermentation. During Figure 5. Anaerobic Respiration

animal muscle cells, fermentation takes place and produces lactic acid and ATP. This is
called lactic acid fermentation. The total sum of ATP molecules produced during
fermentation is very less as compared to aerobic respiration.
• Energy is what helps you do the things you like to do. When you eat or drink, heat is
converted into energy and goes into your body. When you do things like running or drawing
a picture, you use up energy. To be healthy, you have to balance the energy your body takes
in with the energy it uses up.
• Calories (measure of energy in food) give our bodies the fuel to perform the basic functions
that enables us to survive (think, breathe, move, etc.). For example, if you do light
gardening, you can burn 280 calories/hour. You need to take in food that can sustain the
energy needed to do the activity like eating 1 cup of rice (200 calories) and 2hard boiled
eggs (140 calories). The amount of energy (calories) each person needs to take in each day
to perform basic metabolic functions depends on a number of factors like age, height,
weight, and gender. Any energy that is used beyond these basic bodily processes (such as
physical activity) will also require energy from food. Maintaining a healthy weight means
