1
Cellular Respiration
2
Cellular respiration What does it do? Uses glucose to create ATP How do plants get glucose? make it themselves (autotroph) How do animals get glucose? consume it (heterotroph)
3
What organisms can perform cellular respiration?
4
Where in a cell does cellular respiration occur? What organelle makes energy? Mitochondria!
5
Mitochondria Mitochondria provide eukaryotic cells with energy Mitochondria contain small pieces of DNA! what organelle contains the full set of DNA?
6
Mitochondrial structures: Inner membrane Outer membrane Intermembrane space Cristae Matrix
7
Structures Outer membrane: phospholipid bilayer, regulates what enters and exits the cell (semi-permeable) Inner membrane: freely permeable only to oxygen, carbon dioxide and water
8
Structures Intermembrane space: region between the inner and outer membranes, important for oxidative phosphorylation Cristae: folds of inner membrane, increases surface area between matrix and membrane Matrix: contains enzymes that are responsible for a multitude of reactions
10
Mitochondria All structures working together… Glucose is broken down and yields adenosine triphosphate, ATP!
11
How much ATP is yielded in aerobic respiration? 36 ATP
