1
Cellular Respiration
2
What is Cellular Respiration?
The chemical process that releases energy from the food we eat
3
Cellular respiration occurs in the mitochondria
5
In the mitochondria, most of the energy from food molecules is transferred to ATP
ATP is a molecule which stores energy for the cell
6
The arrows represent the movement of which substances?
ATP and carbon dioxide
7
Cellular respiration formula
8
Cellular respiration is the opposite of photosynthesis
Instead of making glucose, glucose molecules are taken apart to release their stored energy
9
Stages of cellular respiration
1.glycolysis 2. Krebs cycle 3. Electron transport chain
10
**Glycolysis Glycolysis: the process of glucose splitting in the cytoplasm At the end of glycolysis, 2 molecules of pyruvate are made
11
glycolysis
12
**The Krebs Cycle Also called the citric acid cycle
With oxygen present, the pyruvate is transported into the mitochondria where it’s eventually converted to carbon dioxide
13
** The series of reactions that occurs while pyruvate is broken down into carbon dioxide is called the Krebs cycle
14
Krebs cycle
15
**Final stage: Electron Transport Chain
This is the final step in the break down of glucose This is where most of the ATP is made The end result is water
16
Types of respiration Anaerobic respiration: requires no oxygen
Aerobic respiration: requires oxygen
17
What is Fermentation? The process by which glucose is broken down without the use of oxygen.
18
Where does fermentation take place?
In many bacteria, fungi, protists, and in our muscle cells It also takes place in yeasts and most plant cells
19
There are 2 main types of fermentation:
1. Lactic acid fermentation[our Lab] 2. Alcohol fermentation
20
Lactic acid fermentation
In lactic acid fermentation, enzymes convert the pyruvate that was made at the end of glycolysis to lactic acid
21
During strenuous exercise, the heart beats faster causing the blood to move faster which brings more oxygen and glucose to the cells
22
More oxygen combines with glucose to make more ATP production in muscle cells; gives you more energy
23
When less oxygen combines with glucose, less ATP is produced in the muscle cells; less energy
24
Lactic acid[continued]
when the body cannot supply enough oxygen during strenuous exercise, then your muscles make lactic acid When lactic acid builds up in muscle cells, the muscles become fatigued and sore
25
** Lactic acid[continued]**
Lactic acid is also produced by several microorganisms that are often used to produce many foods including: Cheese Yogurt Sour cream
26
Lactic acid fermentation
27
**Alcohol fermentation**
is a biological process in which sugars are converted into cellular energy and thereby produce alcohol and carbon dioxide as metabolic waste products. yeasts perform this process in the absence of oxygen
28
** alcohol fermentation occurs in the production of
alcoholic beverages ethanol fuel the rising of bread dough.

Alcohol fermentation

How are photosynthesis & respiration different?
1. source of energy: Photosynthesis sunlight Respiration glucose/ATP 2. materials used by each process Photosynthesis water and carbon dioxide Respiration glucose and oxygen
31
3. location of each process in the cell
Photosynthesis chloroplast Respiration mitochondria
32
4. when each process occurs in plants and animals
Photosynthesis occurs in plants during the day Respiration occurs in both plants and animals all the time
33
How are Photosynthesis & Respiration similar?
They both involve organic and inorganic molecules
