2. © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Plant and animal cells perform cellular respiration, a chemical process that: –Primarily occurs in mitochondria –Harvests energy stored in organic molecules –Uses oxygen –Generates ATP

3. © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. The waste products of cellular respiration are: –CO 2 and H 2 O –Used in photosynthesis Animals perform only cellular respiration. Plants perform: –Photosynthesis and –Cellular respiration

5. CELLULAR RESPIRATION: AEROBIC HARVEST OF FOOD ENERGY Cellular respiration is: –The main way that chemical energy is harvested from food and converted to ATP –An aerobic process—it requires oxygen Cellular respiration and breathing are closely related. –Cellular respiration requires a cell to exchange gases with its surroundings. –Cells take in oxygen gas. –Cells release waste carbon dioxide gas. –Breathing exchanges these same gases between the blood and outside air. © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.

During cellular respiration, hydrogen and its bonding electrons change partners. –Hydrogen and its electrons go from sugar to oxygen, forming water. –This hydrogen transfer is why oxygen is so vital to cellular respiration.

An Overview of Cellular Respiration Cellular respiration: –Is an example of a metabolic pathway, which is a series of chemical reactions in cells All of the reactions involved in cellular respiration can be grouped into three main stages: –Glycolysis –The citric acid cycle –Electron transport

11. © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Stage 1: Glycolysis A six-carbon glucose molecule is split in half to form two molecules of pyruvic acid. These two molecules then donate high energy electrons to NAD +, forming NADH. –Uses two ATP molecules per glucose to split the six-carbon glucose –Makes four additional ATP directly when enzymes transfer phosphate groups from fuel molecules to ADP Thus, glycolysis produces a net of two molecules of ATP per glucose molecule.

12. © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Stage 2: The Citric Acid Cycle The citric acid cycle completes the breakdown of sugar. The citric acid cycle: –Extracts the energy of sugar by breaking the acetic acid molecules all the way down to CO 2 –Uses some of this energy to make ATP –Forms NADH and FADH 2

15. © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Stage 3: Electron Transport The molecules of the electron transport chain are built into the inner membranes of mitochondria. –The chain functions as a chemical machine that uses energy released by the “fall” of electrons to pump hydrogen ions across the inner mitochondrial membrane. –These ions store potential energy. When the hydrogen ions flow back through the membrane, they release energy. –The hydrogen ions flow through ATP synthase. –ATP synthase: –Takes the energy from this flow –Synthesizes ATP

19. © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. The Versatility of Cellular Respiration In addition to glucose, cellular respiration can “burn”: –Diverse types of carbohydrates –Fats –Proteins

20. © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. FERMENTATION: ANAEROBIC HARVEST OF FOOD ENERGY Some of your cells can actually work for short periods without oxygen. Fermentation is the anaerobic (without oxygen) harvest of food energy. After functioning anaerobically for about 15 seconds: –Muscle cells will begin to generate ATP by the process of fermentation Fermentation relies on glycolysis to produce ATP. In human muscle cells, lactic acid is a by-product.
