5. Respiration
Cellular respiration is the process that converts oxygen and sugar (glucose) into water, carbon dioxide, and energy (ATP).

6. What organisms go through respiration?
All eukaryotes (animals, plants, fungi, and protista)

7. Steps of Cellular Respiration
1. glycolysis
2. Kreb’s Cycle
AKA (Citric Acid Cycle)
3. Electron Transport Chain

8. Glycolysis Electrons carried in NADH Pyruvic acid Cytoplasm
in NADH and
FADH2
Pyruvic acid

Mitochondrion

9. Glucose (6-carbons) broken into 2 pyruvic acids (3-carbons)
Step 1: Glycolysis
Glyco = glucose (sugar)
Lysis = split or break up
Occurs in cytoplasm of a eukaryotic cell
Glucose (6-carbons) broken into 2 pyruvic acids (3-carbons)

10. Glucose (6-carbons) broken into 2 pyruvic acids (3-carbons)
Step 1: Glycolysis
Glucose
(6 carbons)
2 pyruvic acids
(3 carbons)
Glucose (6-carbons) broken into 2 pyruvic acids (3-carbons)

11. Glycolysis occurs in cytoplasm

12. Step 2: Kreb’s Cycle AKA (Citric Acid Cycle)
Occurs in matrix
1. 1 carbon from pyruvic acid used to make carbon dioxide
2. The other 2 carbons from pyruvic acid used to make citric acid
3. 2 other carbons from citric acid leave to form 2 more carbon dioxides
Citric acid then becomes a 4-carbon molecule to start the process again

13. Step 2: Kreb’s Cycle + + pyruvic acid Carbon dioxide Citric Acid
(3 carbons) + +
Carbon dioxide
Citric Acid
= oxygen
= carbon

15. Step 3: Electron Transport Chain
e- from NADH go to electron carrier
e- travel through ETC and force H+ into intermembrane space
e- reaches last electron carrier and combines H+ and O2 to make H2O
Intermembrane space is hypertonic so H+ travel through ATP synthase to matrix
ATP synthase joins ADP and Phosphate to create ATP

16. Step 3: Electron Transport Chain (ETC)
