Respiration

Custard powder experiment Did the food contain energy? What kind of energy did it have to start with? What kinds of energy was this released as?

Comparing energy in carbohydrates, proteins and fats Use different types of food to calculate which will give the most energy

Starting temperature of water (0C) Results Food Material Mass of food (g) Starting temperature of water (0C) Finishing temperature of water (0C) Temperature rise (0C) Carbohydrate Protein Fat

Calculating energy in food A given amount of any substance always requires the same amount of energy to produce a particular increase in temperature. 1000g of water needs………………..4.2 kJ to make its temperature rise by 1 oC

Calculating the energy content of foods The formula to calculate the energy release is 4.2 x M x T Now calculate the energy content of your foods M = mass of water (g) T=rise in temperature ( °C) 1000

The Chemistry of Respiration energy and mitochondria clip

Adenosine triphosphate The energy released during respiration is not used directly by cells. Instead it is used to make a molecule called ATP which stores the energy until it is needed. ATP = Adenosine triphosphate

What does ATP do? ATP supplies energy for all the processes that need it. For example: movement chemical reactions growth. slow twitch/fast twitch investigation

Structure of ATP adenosine Pi

Formation of ATP ATP is made when another molecule called adenosine diphosphate (ADP) is bonded to a third inorganic phosphate (Pi) using the energy released from glucose.

adenosine + Pi adenosine Pi Enzymes Energy from respiration Energy Rich bond formed

Summarised as: ADP + Pi ATP The whole process is under the control of enzymes

The role of ATP ATP stores the energy in the third bond of the molecule The energy is released when that bond is broken to release the third inorganic phosphate (Pi) .

adenosine Pi ATP Enzymes Pi adenosine + ADP Energy released to do work

Summary ATP energy (out) cellular respiration cell activities ATP ADP + Pi energy (out) (in) cellular respiration cell activities The whole process is an enzyme controlled reaction.

Aerobic respiration = respiration with oxygen.

glucose + OXYGEN energy + carbon dioxide + water (to make ATP)

Aerobic respiration happens in 2 stages: Stage 1 – Glycolysis glyco lysis glucose splitting

Glycolysis does not require oxygen In glycolysis, a glucose molecule is broken down into pyruvic acid. glucose series of enzyme controlled reactions energy released to make small quantity of ATP (2 molecules) pyruvic acid Glycolysis does not require oxygen

Stage 2 – Breakdown of pyruvic acid The pyruvic acid made in glycolysis (stage1) still contains a lot of energy It can only be broken down to release the rest of the energy in the presence of oxygen.

pyruvic acid energy released to make large quantity of ATP (36 molecules) series of enzyme controlled reactions carbon dioxide + water

ATP production – summary glucose 2 ADP + 2 Pi = 2 ATP pyruvic acid 36 ADP + 36 Pi = 36 ATP carbon dioxide + water

Steps of aerobic respiration A. glycolysis (glucose is split into 2 pyruvic acid, takes place in cytoplasm, also the 1st step of anaerobic respiration) B. Krebs cycle (mitochondria) C. oxidative phosphorylation or electron transport chain (the most ATP release, mitochondria)

Summary of ATP production Stage 1 and 2 release all the chemical energy in one molecule of glucose to make a total of 38 ATP molecules. 2 molecules ATP from glucose  pyruvic acid 36 molecules ATP from pyruvic acid  carbon- dioxide + water Total 38 molecules ATP

Anaerobic Respiration (in animals) anaerobic = in the absence of oxygen

In low oxygen conditions or during heavy exercise, when not enough oxygen can be supplied, muscle cells swap to anaerobic respiration

Steps in anaerobic respiration in animals 1. glycolysis 2. lactic acid fermentation

in absence of oxygen pyruvic acid is turned into lactic acid. glucose glycolysis still happens as it does not require oxygen 2 ADP + 2 Pi 2 ATP pyruvic acid in absence of oxygen pyruvic acid is turned into lactic acid. lactic acid

A build up of lactic acid produces muscle fatigue A build up of lactic acid produces muscle fatigue. Muscle fatigue makes muscles ache and contract less powerfully. A recovery period is needed. During this time more oxygen is taken in to convert the lactic acid back into pyruvic acid again. The volume of oxygen needed is called the oxygen debt.

Summary oxygen debt e.g. during hard exercise oxygen debt glucose pyruvic acid oxygen debt e.g. during hard exercise oxygen debt repaid during recovery time lactic acid

Anaerobic Respiration in plants The same process occurs in plants and yeast in low oxygen conditions, e.g. muddy, flooded soils.

ethanol + carbon dioxide glucose pyruvic acid 2 ADP + 2 Pi 2 ATP glycolysis still happens, producing 2 ATP molecules This time in absence of oxygen, pyruvic acid is turned into carbon dioxide and ethanol This is irreversible ethanol + carbon dioxide

1. glycolysis 2. alcohol (ethanol) fermentation

Comparison of aerobic and anaerobic respiration in animals in plants and yeast Oxygen required? yes no Glycolysis occurs ATP yield 38ATP 2ATP Glucose completely broke down? End products Carbon dioxide and water Lactic acid Ethanol and carbon dioxide

Task Prepare a series of PowerPoint slides which show the importance of anaerobic respiration in the brewing and bread-making processes. Prepare a couple of slides to show the role of anaerobic respiration in the production of cheese and yogurt. [Pages 4 -14 of your textbook will help you with these tasks if you are finding it difficult to find information on the internet].
