Ms. McCarthy

2. To grow, function, and reproduce, cells must:
A. Synthesize new cellular components such as cell walls, cell membranes, nucleic acids, ribosomes, proteins, etc…
B. Collect energy and convert it into a form that is usable to do cellular work.

3. Cellular respiration is the process by which organisms obtain energy from food.
A. Glucose is the most common source of energy
1. It comes from the breakdown of complex carbohydrates
B. Making a bond stores energy (dehydration synthesis)
C. Breaking a bond releases energy (hydrolysis)

4. D. The breakdown of food releases energy in the form of ATP
1. Adenosine triphosphate is a high energy molecule
2. Phosphorylation is the transfer of energy caused by the removal of a phosphate molecule
3. Adenosine diphosphate is a low energy molecule

5. An analogy can be made between the process of cellular respiration in our cells and a car. The mitochondria are the engines of our cells where sugar is burned for fuel and the exhaust is CO2 and H2O.

6. The Energy Cycle in the Cell
C6H12O6
Phosphorylation
Low Energy
High Energy
Breaking bonds releases energy for a cell to use.
Making bonds stores energy for a cell to use later.

7. Oxidation – Reduction reactions
A. Oxidation is when a molecule loses electrons (or H), which results in a loss of energy
B. Reduction is when a molecule gains electrons (or H), which results in an energy gain
C. Hydrogen acceptors are coenzymes that accept the hydrogen and its energy
1. NAD
2. FAD

8. V. Glycolysis
A. First step in cellular respiration
B. Splitting glucose into 2 pyruvic acid molecules
C. Takes place in the cytoplasm
D. Produces 2 ATP molecules for energy

9. 2 ATP needed
Phosphorylation
Phosphoglyceraldehyde
Oxidized
Reduced

10. VI. Summary of glycolysis A.
C6H12O pyruvic acid + 2ATP + 2 NADH2

11. The Glucose Song

12. Glucose
Ah, sugar, sugar
You are my favorite fuel
From the blood-borne substrate pool

13. Glucose
Monosaccharide sugar
You’re sweeter than a woman’s kiss
‘Cause I need you for glycolysis

14. I just can’t believe the way my muscles take you in
For you, they’ll open the door
All it takes is a little bit of insulin
To upregulate GLUT - 4

15. Glucose
Ah, sugar, sugar
You help me make ATP
When my predators are chasing me

16. Glucose
You’re an aldehyde sugar
And you’re sweeter than a woman’s kiss
‘Cause I need you for glycolysis

17. I just can’t believe the way my muscles take you in
My glycogen is almost gone
A few more seconds and I’ll be rigor mortis bound
Acidosis done me wrong!

18. Your sweet is turning sour, baby
I’m losing all my power, baby
I’m gonna make your muscles ache!
I’m swimming in lactate, baby
Yes, I’m swimming in lactate, baby

19. Now I’m drowning in lactate, baby
I’m gonna make your muscles ache!
I’m drowning in lactate, baby

20. Glucose
Ah, sugar, sugar
I used you up and you left me flat
Now I’ll have to get my kicks from fat

21. Glucose, Glucose
Sugar, Sugar,
Sugar, Sugar
The honeymoon is over now…..

Listen to the song again and think about the biology behind the words. What is this song trying to explain?
