Cellular Respiration: A Review
Waiz and Lindsay
3
What is Cellular Respiration?
Process of converting glucose and oxygen to water, carbon dioxide, and ATP Involves 3 stages: Glycolysis Krebs/Citric Acid Cycle Oxidative Phosphorylation
4
Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP)
Cellular energy molecule The covalent bonds between phosphate groups stores energy Short term In cellular respiration, ADP is converted to ATP
5
Glycolysis
7
Glycolysis Literally means “splitting of sugar”
Breakdown of a glucose molecule into two pyruvate molecules Occurs in the cytoplasm
8
Glycolysis Two phases: Energy investment phase Energy payoff phase
Glycolysis occurs whether or not O2 is present All cells carry out glycolysis
9
Glycolysis Uses 2 ATP to split glucose molecule Net: 2 Pyruvates 2 H2O
2 NADH (electron carrier) 2 H+ Utilizes substrate-level phosphorylation
10
Glycolysis (Intermediate Step)
To finish off, one carbon is removed from each of the two pyruvate molecules, resulting in two CO2 molecules being released Electrons are stripped, forming NADH Coenzyme A attaches to the two-carbon molecule, forming Acetyl CoA
11
Intermediate Step
12
Krebs/Citric Acid Cycle
14
Big Picture Occurs in the mitochondrial matrix
Releases the remaining carbons from the remnant glucose Transfers the energy to NAD, FAD, and ADP Electrons extracted carried into ETC
15
Kreb’s Output For each acetyl CoA that enters the citric acid cycle, two carbon dioxide molecules are released in reactions that are coupled with the production of NADH molecules from the reduction of NAD+ molecules. Two FADH2 (another electron carrier) molecules and 2 ATP are made as well.
16
Electron Transport Chain & Chemiosmosis
18
ETC Reduced electron carriers (NADH and FADH2) give electrons to molecules near the beginning of the transport chain and turn back into NAD+, and FAD Electrons are passed down the chain, with each protein using energy from them to pull a proton against a concentration gradient Oxygen splits and combines with H+ to form water
19
Chemiosmosis Movement of ions down the concentration gradient
Protons move through ATP synthase, phosphorylating ADP
20
Important Facts Not all cells need to use (or can’t use) the entire process of cellular respiration and some don’t even need it at all. These cells can use a combination of glycolysis and fermentation instead, which is utilized in the food industry in the form of lactic acid fermentation and alcoholic fermentation. Can anyone name three fermented foods?
