1 Cellular Respiration

2 Energy Is the ability to do work

3 How do nonliving things get energy?
Some energy comes from running water, wind, or the sun Most of our energy comes from burning fuels (oil, gas, coal) This releases energy in the form of heat and light

4 Living organisms also require energy just like machines
Flying bird Beaver building a dam Worm burrowing through soil Making complex compounds from simpler ones (synthesis) Transferring some molecules across the cell membrane (active transport)

5 How do organisms obtain this energy?
Organisms rely on chemical energy stored in their food (mostly carbohydrates) Cellular Respiration is the process by which the energy stored in food inside the cells is released Respiration ≠ breathing

6 ATP Adenosine triphosphate
When the 3rd phosphate is removed and bonded to another compound, energy is released When the 3rd phosphate is removed, the remaining molecule is called adenosine diphosphate (ADP)

7

8 Glucose A simple sugar (building blocks of carbohydrates)
A single molecule can produce 36 molecules of ATP from ADP

9 Where does respiration occur?
In cells In mitochondria (“powerhouse”, mighty)

10 Types of Respiration Aerobic: with oxygen Anaerobic: without oxygen

14 Do Now: What is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration?

15 Aerobic Respiration Step One
Glycolysis: process of breaking down the glucose molecule into 2 3-carbon pyruvic acid molecules

16 Occurs in cytoplasm of cells

17 Aerobic Respiration Step Two
Pyruvic acid breaks down into carbon dioxide, NADH, and a 2-carbon compound known as an acetyl group Acetyl group combines with coenzyme A to form acetyl CoA

18

19 Aerobic Respiration Step Three Krebs Cycle
Series of chemical reactions Each turn requires 1 acetyl CoA Each turn produces 2 molecules of carbon dioxide and 4 pairs of hydrogen atoms Each turn produces 1 ATP

20

21 Aerobic Respiration Step Four Electron Transport Chain
Electrons from hydrogen atoms are passed along from compound to compound At various places on the chain, electrons give up some energy and molecules of ATP are formed

26 Net Reaction of Aerobic Respiration
C6H12O6 + 6O2 6CO2 + 6H2O + 36 ATP

27 Anaerobic Respiration
Step One glycolysis Step Two fermentation

28 2 types of fermentation Lactic Acid Fermentation
Lactic acid builds up in muscles and causes soreness

29 Muscle Fatigue During periods of prolonged physical activity, muscle cells may use oxygen faster than the circulatory system can supply it Krebs cycle and electron transport chain stop and lactic acid builds up

30 Alcohol Fermentation

32 Proteins and fats can also feed into the process at various places

33 Carbon Dioxide
