Cellular Respiration Defined: The process (a series of reactions) by which glucose molecules are broken down to release energy Defined: The process (a series of reactions) by which glucose molecules are broken down to release energy Purpose: Convert food (such as glucose) into ATP Purpose: Convert food (such as glucose) into ATP Two Types: Two Types: Aerobic process: reaction requires O 2 Aerobic process: reaction requires O 2 Can produce 36 ATP molecules from each glucose Can produce 36 ATP molecules from each glucose Anaerobic process: reaction takes place without oxygen Anaerobic process: reaction takes place without oxygen Can produce 2 ATP molecules from each glucose Can produce 2 ATP molecules from each glucose Who? All eukaryotic cells Who? All eukaryotic cells

Cellular respiration is a series of chemical reactions that convert the energy in food molecules into a usable form of energy called ATP. Cellular respiration is a series of chemical reactions that convert the energy in food molecules into a usable form of energy called ATP. Cellular respiration Cellular respiration Step 1: Glycolysis Step 1: Glycolysis Step 2: The Krebs Cycle Step 2: The Krebs Cycle Step 3: Electron Transport Step 3: Electron Transport Cellular Respiration

Step 1: Glycolysis, the first step in cellular respiration, is a process by which glucose is broken down into pyruvate and energy is released. Glycolysis It occurs in the cytoplasm. Cellular Respiration (cont.)

Cellular Respiration Glycolysis Produces Glycolysis Produces Glycolysis 2 NADH 2 NADH 2 ATP 2 ATP 2 pyruvate 2 pyruvate Only about 2 percent of the chemical energy of a glucose molecule is released during glycolysis and enters the mitochondria Only about 2 percent of the chemical energy of a glucose molecule is released during glycolysis and enters the mitochondria The rest is released in step 2! The rest is released in step 2!

Reactions in the Mitochondria

Step 2: Kreb’s Cycle Where? Where? In the mitochondria What happens? What happens? A) Enzymes break apart the glucose fragments (pyruvate) into a substance called acetyl-CoA B) 2 ATP & CO 2 created along with NADH and FADH 2 C) Energy molecules (energy is contained in the electrons of those above names molecules) sent to inner mitochondrion membrane Mitochondrion C C C C C C En- zyme CO 2 ATP Energy molecule ATP

Electron transport All the remaining energy is contained in electrons carried by NADH and FADH 2 Electron transport= the process of transferring energy from NADH and FADH 2 to ATP Requires O 2 Can generate ATP Step 3: Electron Transport Chain

Mitochondrion Step 3: Electron Transport Chain Where? mitochondrion membrane Where? mitochondrion membrane What happens? What happens? A) Mitochondrion takes in oxygen (aerobic) B) Enzymes + Energy molecule + O 2 bonds ADP + P to create…. Up to 34 ATP molecules O2O2 ATP Energy molecule En- zyme PADP ATP ADP O2O2 P P O2O2 O2O2 O2O2 P ATP
