1
Cellular Respiration: Aerobic Respiration Krebs Cycle Electron Transport Chain and ATP Synthase
2
The Krebs Cycle Occurs in the mitochondria. Produces high- energy molecules (NADH and FADH2), CO2 and 1 ATP Also called the citric acid cycle
3
Step 1 Pyruvic acid loses one carbon and two oxygen to form CO2 and Acetyl-CoA During this step high energy molecule of NADH is formed
4
Step 2 Part of Acetyl-CoA combines with a 4-carbon compound to form citric acid During this step two high energy molecules are formed: one FADH2 and one NADH
5
Step 3 Citric Acid loses one carbon and two oxygen to form CO2 and a 5- carbon compound During this step a high energy molecule of NADH is formed
6
Step 4 The 5 carbon compound loses one carbon and two oxygen to form CO2 and a 4-carbon compound During this step one high energy molecule of NADH is formed and one ATP is formed
7
Overall Products of the Krebs Cycle How many CO2 are formed? How many NADH are formed? How many FADH2 are formed? How many ATP are formed?
8
Electron Transport Chain High energy electrons in NADH and FADH2 created during glycolysis and the Krebs cycle are used to pump H+ ions across the inner membrane of mitochondria to create a concentration gradient. Oxygen acts as a final electron acceptor combining with low energy electrons and H+ ions to form H2O
9
ATP Synthase The push of H+ ions flowing down their concentration gradient through an enzyme called ATP Synthase converts ADP into ATP ADP ATP
10
Total ATP formed from aerobic respiration from one molecule of glucose 2 ATP from glycolysis 4 ATP from the 2 NADH formed in glycolysis 2 ATP from the Krebs cycle 24 ATP from the 8 NADH formed from the Krebs cycle 2 ATP from the 2 FADH2 formed from Krebs cycle
