1. Cellular Respiration

2. Key Concepts: All organisms produce ATP by releasing energy stored in glucose Cellular respiration can occur without oxygen (anaerobic) or with oxygen (aerobic) Photosynthesis are aerobic respiration have become linked on a global scale

3. PS vs. CR Sunlight Photosynthesis 6 CO 2 + 6 H 2 O C 6 H 12 0 6 + O 2 Aerobic Respiration

4. Aerobic Respiration: Usually main path to ATP formation Cannot be completed without oxygen

5. Anaerobic Respiration: Fermentation Alcoholic & Lactic Acid Pathways Not as efficient due to no oxygen being used

6. Glycolysis - Overview: a) Process in both Aerobic & Anaerobic respiration b) Does not involve oxygen c) Breaking down of glucose d) Occurs in the cytoplasm

7. Aerobic Respiration – Overview: a) produces the most ATP per molecule of glucose b) C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6O 2  6CO 2 + 6H 2 O Glucose Carbon Dioxide c) Three stages: glycolysis, krebs cycle, and electron transport phosphorylation d) Final two stages occurs in mitochondria

8. Glycolysis – Stage 1: a)Glucose present in the cytoplasm is partially broken down into the three carbon pyruvate molecule b)Two NADH and four ATP are formed during the process c)Two ATP molecules are needed at the beginning, thus there is a net of two ATP formed for every molecule of glucose 1 Glucose4 ATP formed total2 ATP formed net

9. Krebs Cycle – Stage 2 a)Pyruvate formed during glycolysis enters the mitochondria b)For each pyruvate molecules that enter (2 formed during glycolysis), three CO 2, one ATP, four NADH, and one FADH 2 are formed c)Thus at the end of the second stage there is a net yield of four ATP molecules produced for every molecule of glucose 1 Glucose6 ATP formed total4 ATP formed net

10. Electron Transport Chain – 3 rd Stage: Takes place in the inner membrane of the mitochondrion Powered by electrons move through transport proteins Electrons moving through system push hydrogen ions into the outer compartment setting up a concentration & electrical gradient As the H+ ions flow back in, it drives the formation of thirty two ATP molecules for every molecule of glucose 1 Glucose38 ATP formed total36 ATP formed net

11. Aerobic Respiration Summary: Glucose is broken down into CO 2 & H 2 O Coenzymes transfer hydrogen and electrons from substrates to electron transport systems which drive ATP formation O 2 is final electron acceptor Yields a net of 36 ATP molecules per one molecule of glucose

12. Anaerobic Respiration: Do not use oxygen as final acceptor of electrons Two methods: – Fermentation (lactic acid & alcoholic)

13. Fermentation: a)Used by many bacteria and protists that live in oxygen deprived environments b)Muscle cells will convert to it if oxygen is unavailable c)Begins with glycolysis and net yield of 2 ATP, but does not produce any more ATP d)Regenerates coenzymes instead

14. Lactic Acid Fermentation: Pyruvate from glycolysis is converted into lactate (lactic acid) in order to replenish coenzymes

15. Alcoholic Fermentation: Pyruvate form glycolysis is eventually converted into ethanol in order to replenish coenzymes
