Cellular Respiration

Chapter 9

Ms. McCaughan
La Serna High School
2007-2008
Energy Review
 Energy Storing Molecules
 ATP, NADPH (NAD+), FADH (FAD+), FADH2
 ATP supplies most of the energy that drives
metabolism in living things
 ATP releases energy when converted into
ADP
Cellular Respiration Overview
Chapter 9-1

 Living things get most of the energy


they need from glucose.
 Autrotrophs make glucose using photosynthesis
 Heterotrophs get glucose from food they eat
 Cellular Respiration
 The process that releases energy by breaking
down glucose and other food molecules in the
presence of oxygen.
Cellular Respiration Overview
 Cellular Respiration Overall Equation
6O2 + C6H12O6  6CO2 + 6H2O + Energy
 Three Stages
1. Glycolysis
2. Kreb’s Cycle
3. Electron Transport Chain
 The Main form of Energy produced = ATP

Cytoplasm
Glycolysis
 Glyco = Glucose lysis = Breakdown
 Occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell
 Molecules of GLUCOSE are broken down
into 2 molecules of Pyruvic Acid.
 Cell must use (invest) 2 ATP
 Produces Energy Carrier Molecules
 4 ATP
 2 NADH
Glycolysis

Pyruvate = Pyruvic Acid

To the Electron
Transport Chain
The “Mighty” Mitochondria
 The mitochondria is the
organelle where the final
stages of cellular
respiration occurs.
 Kreb’s Cycle
 Electron Transport Chain
 Cells that use a lot of
energy have high numbers
of mitochondria.
 Example: Muscle cells in
the heart!!
Kreb’s Cycle
Chapter 9-2

 Aerobic Process = Only if oxygen is present!!


 Occurs in the MATRIX of the mitochondria
 Pyruvic Acid from Glycolysis enters to form
 1 ATP

 3 NADH

 1 FADH2
 CO2 (which is released when we exhale!!)

 AKA….Citric Acid Cycle


Kreb’s Cycle
Electron Transport Chain
Chapter 9-2
 Energy carrier molecules produced during
Glycolysis and the Kreb’s Cycle enter the ETC
 NADH
 FADH2
 Occurs in the folds of the Inner Membrane of the
Mitochondria (Cristae)
 The electrons are passed down a chain of
proteins until they reach the final electron
acceptor…..oxygen!
 So this step is aerobic (requires oxygen)
 The ETC produces 32 ATP and H2O
Electron Transport Chain

The chain then repeats in the same way with FADH2

What happens if
NO OXYGEN
is available??
The Kreb’s Cycle and Electron
Transport Chain can’t function!!
These are anaerobic conditions!!
Fermentation
Chapter 9-1
 The cell can use Fermentation instead!!
 Occurs in the Cytoplasm
 Just like glycolysis!!

 Fermentation
 A series of reactions that convert NADH

(from glycolysis) back into NAD allowing


glycolysis to keep producing a small amount
of ATP
2 Types of Fermentation
 Alcoholic Fermentation
 Yeasts use this process to form ethyl alcohol
and carbon dioxide as waste products.
 This causes bread dough to rise

 This is how some alcoholic beverages are

made

Pyruvic Acid + NADH  alcohol + CO2 + NAD+


Lactic Acid Fermentation
 Occurs in bacteria (unicellular organisms)
 This is how cheese, yogurt, and pickles are made.
 Occurs in muscles during rapid exercise
 When your body runs out of oxygen your muscle cells
must produce some ATP using fermentation and
glycolysis
 Lactic Acid build-up causes muscle soreness or
burning after intense activity.
Pyruvic Acid + NADH  lactic acid + NAD+
