1
Cellular Respiration Theme - Transfer of energy: How do cells “make” energy?
2
Why Respiration? Energy is neither created nor destroyed! Only transferred. What are forms of energy? Energy is NO good if we can’t use energy in that form!
3
Cellular Respiration Definition: metabolic process which converts nutrients (glucose) into useful energy (ATP) Two Types Anaerobic Aerobic (Products are in red)
4
What is ATP? Stands for Adenosine Triphosphate Is a nucleic acid Phosphate bonds store easy- to-use energy Energy “currency” of the cell
5
Anaerobic Does not use oxygen Has 2 steps: Glycolysis Fermentation
6
Glycolysis Happens in the cytoplasm Makes 2 ATP Splits glucose in half NADH + Pyruvic Acid
7
Fermentation No oxygen Breaks down pyruvic acid Alcoholic fermentation Makes CO 2 and alcohol Yeast makes bread and beer Lactic acid fermentation Ex. Makes cheese and yogurt Ex. Muscles “burn” during exercise
8
Summary StageDetailsLocation Glycolysis Glucose is split, 2 ATP’s and pyruvic acid produced Cytoplasm Lactic Acid Fermentation Pyruvic acid is broken down. CO 2 and lactic acid produced. Cytoplasm Alcoholic Fermentation Pyruvic acid is broken down. CO 2 and alcohol produced Cytoplasm
9
Aerobic Uses oxygen Has 3 steps: Glycolysis Krebs Cycle Electron Transport Chain (ETC) Krebs and ETC happen in the mitochondria
10
Krebs Cycle Also called the Citric Acid Cycle Breaks down pyruvic acid into CO 2 Makes other energy molecules
11
Electron Transport Chain Uses energy molecules from the Krebs cycle to make ATP Electrons are passed from one protein to the next Pumps H + ions across a membrane H + ions flow back through ATP synthase (an enzyme), which makes ATP Water is also produced
12
Electron Transport Chain
13
Summary StageDetailsLocation Glycolysis Glucose is split, 2 ATP’s and pyruvic acid produced Cytoplasm Krebs Cycle Glucose is further broken down, NADH (energy carriers) are produced. CO2is a by-product Mitochondria Electron Transport Chain NADH converted to ATP-- -34 ATP produced! H2O is a by-produt Mitochondria
14
Energy Totals Anaerobic = 2 ATP per Glucose Aerobic = 36 ATP per Glucose
