CELLULAR RESPIRATION

ATP to ADP, ADP to ATP

breathing is a physical process, in contact with air whereas cellular respiration is a chemical
process converting energy from food, etc. to power our cells

ANALOGY

It breaks chemical bonds in wood, releasing stored energy as light and heat. cellular
respiration breaks bonds in glucose, releasing stored energy and transferring some. Some
energy is lost as heat

CHEMICAL PATHWAYS

food is the raw material that provides energy

cells utilize this food

cells slowly release energy from glucose

Glycolysis

releases only a small amount of energy

breaking glucose molecule into two molecules of pyruvic acid

decomposition of glucose

process takes place in the cytosol of the cytoplasm

● Cytosol: fluid
● Cytoplasm: cytosol + organelles
Hydrolysis- breaking of water

Anaerobic Respiration: absence of oxygen

Aerobic Respiration: presence of oxygen

CELLULAR RESPIRATION
Glycolysis + Krebs Cycle + Electron Transport Chain

Aerobic Respiration

the krebs cycle and electron transport

energy of pyruvic acid would be extracted by oxygen then krebs and ETC will then proceed as
oxygen is there

uses for products of krebs cycle

carbon dioxide is exhaled (waste product)

ATP is transported through ETC to power up cells, for cellular activities

high-energy electrons are used to make amounts of ATP, synthesis of ATP in presence of
oxygen

Anaerobic Respiration: fermentation

Oxygen is absent

production of wine, rise of yeast, produces carbon dioxide

2 Types of Fermentation

- Alcoholic Acid
- Lactic Acid: (soreness of feet as an example)

TOTAL ATP PRODUCTION OF AEROBIC CR

38 ATP molecules = 38% of the total energy of glucose

remaining 62% is released as heat

therefore, your body feels warmer after vigorous exercise due to release of ATP molecules

APPLICATION

energy is released from the food we eat through running, swimming, riding, cycling, and the like

large muscles in our legs and arms quickly run out of oxygen

as our body gets tired, our body shifts into anaerobic respiration

when we start small activities, we are undergoing aerobic respiration

ATP from lactic acid fermentation lasts for about 9 seconds, is longer

to exercise our body needs to convert sugar to glycogen to serve as fuel

Advantages

aerobic- more energy released, produces up to 38 ATP

anaerobic- leg organisms live in places where there is little or no oxygen, quickly produces ATP
