Cellular Respiration Chapter 2 – pages
2
The route from food to energy
Glucose Then With oxygen Aerobic Respiration 34 ATP made Without oxygen Anaerobic Respiration (Fermentation) Alcoholic Lactic Acid Goes through Glycolysis 2 ATP made
3
Glycolysis Breaks glucose down into 2 pyruvic acid molecules
Occurs in cytosol Goes from 6 carbons to 3 carbons
4
Glycolysis 2 ATP invested 4 ATP generated 2 “net” ATP gained
Fast process! But… runs out of NAD+ rather quickly Process can’t go further NAD+ is an enzyme that helps to speed up reactions
6
The route from food to energy
Glucose Then With oxygen Aerobic Respiration 34 ATP made Without oxygen Anaerobic Respiration (Fermentation) Alcoholic Lactic Acid Goes through Glycolysis 2 ATP made
7
Fermentation Occurs after glycolysis Does not require oxygen
Anaerobic Many bacteria and protists still live in places where oxygen is absent or not always available, they have developed many anaerobic pathways. Eukaryotes commonly use two forms – lactic acid fermentation and alcohol fermentation Switches NADH back into NAD+ Allows glycolysis to continue
8
Alcoholic fermentation
This is from glycolysis Done by yeast and other microbes Formula C6H12O6 → 2 C2H5OH + 2 CO ATP (Glucose) → (Ethanol) (Carbon Dioxide) (Adenosine Triphosphate) Makes bread, wine, and other food products
9
Lactic Acid Fermentation
Done in our muscles during rapid exercise! Makes cheese, yogurt, buttermilk, sour cream and other products C6H12O6 → 2 CH3 CH(OH)COOH ATP (Glucose) → (Lactic Acid) (Adenosine Triphosphate) This is from glycolysis
10
ALCOHOLIC LACTIC ACID
11
The route from food to energy
Glucose Then With oxygen Aerobic Respiration 34 ATP made Without oxygen Anaerobic Respiration (Fermentation) Alcoholic Lactic Acid Goes through Glycolysis 2 ATP made
12
Glucose + Oxygen → Carbon Dioxide + Water + Energy
Aerobic Respiration After glycolysis Only in eukaryotes Require oxygen —aerobic NOT THE SAME AS REGULAR RESPIRATION! The overall reaction can be summarised as: C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O (+36 ATP) Glucose + Oxygen → Carbon Dioxide + Water + Energy
13
Where does aerobic respiration happen?
In the mitochondria! Mitochondria are organelles that convert the chemical energy stored in food into compounds that are more convenient for the cell to use
14
2 Main steps of Aerobic Respiration
Kreb’s cycle Pyruvic acid is broken down into CO2 in a series of energy- extracting reactions Also known as the Citric Acid Cycle 2 ATP are generated
15
2 Main steps of Aerobic Respiration
Electron Transport Chain Uses high energy electrons from the Kreb’s cycle to convert ADP into ATP 32 ATP are produced
17
Comparing Aerobic Respiration to glycolysis and Fermentation
Glycolysis 2 ATP Fermentation 0 ATP Kreb’s Cycle 2 ATP Electron transport 32 ATP Anaerobic _________ Aerobic ___________ AEROBIC RESPIRATION is 18 TIMES MORE EFFICIENT!
18
Where to go for energy? Instant energy—glycolysis LESS ATP
Fast energy—fermentation Slow energy—cellular respiration MOST ATP
