Where have we been?
2
PHOTOSYNTHESIS TYPE II
WRITE the BALANCED equation for photosynthesis LABEL the inputs (reactants) and outputs (products) EXPLAIN what will happen to each of the products and reactants
3
Cells and Energy Release
Cellular Respiration Cells and Energy Release
4
MORE FUN WITH TIM & MOBY
5
Question… Why do we breathe? 4th grade answer: “so we don’t die”
7th grade answer: “to take in oxygen, and breathe out carbon dioxide” 10th grade answer: TO FUEL CELL RESPIRATION!
6
Basic ideas Breaking down high energy, large molecules into lower energy, smaller molecules. If this process stops, cells DIE!!!! Requires oxygen to fully occur. Three step process; Step 1 occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell Steps 2 & 3 occur in the mitochondria of the cell
7
Here’s where it Happens!
"MIGHTY Mitochondria"
8
This is the equation! C6H12O6 +6O2 -> 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy (ATP& heat) How does this look familiar? Where do the “ingredients” (reactants) come from? What happens to each of the “leftovers” (products)
9
WHAT’S ATP GOT TO DO WITH IT?
Adenosine Triphosphate Chemical energy source for the cell Think of it as cellular “money”
10
Three Stages of Cellular Respiration
STEP 1: Glycolysis (“GLUCOSE SPLITTING”) 1st stage of ALL energy releasing pathways. Occurs in cytoplasm A couple of ATP “coins” made If you’re fermenting, stop here! STEP 2: Krebs Cycle (citric acid cycle) Occurs in the mitochondria A few more ATP “coins” made STEP 3: Electron Transport Chain (phosphorylation) Occurs in the mitochondria (membranes) ATP JACKPOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
11
CELL RESPIRATION OVERVIEW
Convert glucose to ATP Accomplished in 3 steps: Glycolysisin cytoplasm Krebs Cyclein mitochondria Electron Transport Chainin mitochondria Remember: this requires Oxygen
12
Glycolysis Food must have been transported to cells via the bloodstream digested food gets into the bloodstream by diffusing through the intestinal walls into the capillaries. 1st stage in energy release from food Input = glucose, Outputs = small amount of ATP and pyruvates These outputs are the inputs for the next stage
13
Krebs Cycle Series of chemical reactions ATP (energy) released
CO2 (waste) released
14
Electron Transport Chain
Series of reactions Releases LOTS more ATP
15
CASHING IN… Total energy released from 1 GLUCOSE MOLECULE DURING CELL RESPIRATION: 38 ATP
16
CELL RESPIRATION OVERVIEW
Convert glucose to ATP Accomplished in 3 steps: Glycolysisin cytoplasm Krebs Cyclein mitochondria Electron Transport Chainin mitochondria Remember: this requires Oxygen
17
UH, OH…PROBLEM 1.) What if you don’t have mitochondria?
2.) What if there isn’t much oxygen around?
18
FERMENTATION TO THE RESCUE!
2 KINDS: Alcoholic Lactic Acid These are ANAEROBIC processes Little to no oxygen required
19
BIG PICTURE: When are these used?
CELL RESPIRATION Eukaryotes with mitochondria Adequate oxygen Ex. Animals Plants PRODUCES LOTS OF ATP! FERMENTATION Prokaryotes (no mitochondria) AND/OR Inadequate or no oxygen available Ex. Yeast Bacteria Overworked Human muscles (no, your brain is not a muscle!) Produces very little ATP, but hey, some is better than none!
