2
How do organisms “eat”? Autotrophs get energy by making their organic molecules such as glucose through photosynthesis Heterotrophs break down the glucose to make ATP to fuel their metabolism
3
What is Cellular Respiration?
A process that converts glucose into energy Occurs in or near the mitochondria 6 O2 + C6H12O6 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + energy

5
Two Pathways Path is determined by the presence of oxygen
If O2 is ABSENT then anaerobic respiration occurs in the cytoplasm. If O2 is PRESENT then aerobic respiration occurs in the mitochondrion.
6
aerobic anaerobic (with oxygen) (without oxygen)
8
Anaerobic Respiration (no O2)
First step is glycolysis Occurs in the cytoplasm by the mitochondria Products: 2 ATP and 2 NADH A (6 carbon) glucose breaks apart in 2 (3 carbon) pyruvic acids Pyruvic acid is also called pyruvate
9
Anaerobic Respiration (no O2)
Second step is fermentation The pyruvate is converted into ethyl alcohol or lactic acid Ex: Wine, Antibiotics, Yeast
10
Fermentation Alcoholic Fermentation:
Occurs in yeast to make wine or champagne Glucose Pyruvate Ethyl alcohol and Carbon Dioxide
11
Fermentation Glucose Pyruvate Lactic acid
Lactic Acid Fermentation: Can in your muscles during exercise Glucose Pyruvate Lactic acid
