CELLULAR RESPIRATION

WHERE DOES CELLULAR RESPIRATION TAKE PLACE?

• IT ACTUALLY TAKES PLACE IN TWO PARTS OF

THE CELL:

• GLYCOLYSIS OCCURS IN THE CYTOPLASM

• KREBS CYCLE & ETC TAKE PLACE IN THE
MITOCHONDRIA
 CELLULAR RESPIRATION

• PROCESS BY WHICH ANIMAL CELLS CONVERTS GLUCOSE INTO

USABLE FORM LIKE ATP WHICH CAN BE USED BY THE CELLS.
THREE STAGES
• GLYCOLYSIS
• KREBS CYCLE
• ELECTRON TRANSPORT CHAIN

 GLYCOLYSIS

• HARVESTING ENERGY BY BREAKING DOWN GLUCOSE TO

PYRUVATE.
• TAKES PLACE IN THE CYTOPLASM OF THE CELL.
• GLYCOLYSIS IS THE PROCESS IN WHICH ONE MOLECULE OF
GLUCOSE IS BROKEN IN HALF, PRODUCING TWO MOLECULES
OF PYRUVIC ACID (A 3 CARBON COMPOUND)
 THE KREBS CYCLE
• DURING THE KREBS CYCLE,
PYRUVIC ACID IS BROKEN
DOWN INTO CARBON DIOXIDE
IN A SERIES OF ENERGY-
EXTRACTING REACTIONS
• DURING KREBS
• NAD+ IS CONVERTED TO NADH
• ADP IS CONVERTED TO ATP
• CARBON DIOXIDE IS A WASTE
PRODUCT
 KREBS CYCLE

• SECOND STAGE IN CELLULAR RESPIRATION.

• THE PYRUVATE MOLECULES FROM GLYCOLYSIS ENTER THE
MITOCHONDRIA OF THE CELL.
• NADH, ATP, FADH2, CARBON DIOXIDE MOLECULES ARE
PRODUCED.
 ELECTRON TRANSPORT CHAIN

• HARVESTING MORE ENERGY

• LAST STEP IN CELLULAR RESPIRATION
• TAKES PLACE IN THE INNER MEMBRANE OF THE
MITOCHONDRIA.
• USE THE ENERGY FROM NADH AND FADH2 MOLECULES TO
MAKE MORE ATP MOLECULES AND WATER AS BY PRODUCT.
 ELECTRON TRANSPORT
• THE ELECTRON TRANSPORT CHAIN USES THE HIGH-ENERGY
ELECTRONS FROM THE KREBS CYCLE TO CONVERT ADP INTO ATP
