 Sausage like structure
 Energy generator
 Power house of the cell

Chemical reactions for cellular respiration:

 Which groups in the cellular respiration equation go in?

- Aerobic respiration.

 Which groups are released?

- Anaerobic respiration.
PRIOR KNOWLEDGE: Definition of Terms

1. Aerobic respiration
- Aerobic respiration is the process of producing cellular energy involving oxygen. Aerobic
respiration is a fixed metabolic reaction that takes place in the presence of oxygen, going on
in a cellular to transform chemical energy into ATPs.

2. Anaerobic respiration
- Anaerobic respiratory process in which cells break down the sugar molecules to produce
energy without the presence of oxygen.

3. Pyruvic acid
- Pyruvic acid, an organic acid that probably occurs in all living cells.

4. Fermentation
- Fermentation is the breaking down of sugar molecules into simpler compounds to produce
substances that can be used in making chemical energy.

5. Glycolysis
- Glycolysis a cytoplasmic pathway which breaks down glucose into two three-carbon
compounds and generates energy.

6. Krebs cycle
- Krebs cycle – is a series of chemical reactions which completes the metabolic breakdown of
glucose to carbon dioxide and produces 2 ATP.

7. Electron transport chain

- Electron transport chain a series of electron transporters embedded in the inner
mitochondrial membrane that shuttles electrons from NADH and FADH2 to molecular
oxygen.
Procedure: Refine your knowledge on cellular respiration by doing the sample
graphic organizer below. Fill-out the table and distinguish how the two types of
respiration are alike and different. Then write your conclusion based on the
similarities and differences you have listed.

How a like?

they both use glucose as the starting molecule.

Both produces ATP.
Electrons are transferred from glucose to NADH.
Their waste product is carbon dioxide.
Both use pyruvate as a substrate
processes depend on enzymes to catalyze their respective chemical reactions.

How different?
Use oxygen Do not use oxygen
With electron transport chain Electron acceptor is nitrate or sulfate
Electron acceptor is O2 and is reduced to With electron transport chain
water
Occur in prokaryotes and eukaryotes Occur in prokaryotes
SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION:
- Aerobic respiration makes advantage of the presence of oxygen in the process,
whereas anaerobic respiration does not. They both create ATP, and their waste product is
carbon dioxide. Anaerobic respiration occurs solely in prokaryotes, whereas aerobic
respiration occurs in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
