3. Re-cap from last year! What molecule do we start with?
What gas do we need?
What gas is made?
How many stages are there?
What is the 1st stage called?
Where does each stage take place?
How much ATP is made in stage 1 compared to stage 2?

4. What is Cellular Respiration?
Cellular respiration is a process where the cell breaks down glucose through a series of enzyme controlled reactions in order to release energy.
More energy is released if oxygen is present compared to if a cell carried out respiration in the absence of oxygen
(more on this type of respiration in the LAST Key Area!)

5. Why is respiration so important?
The metabolic pathways of cellular respiration are central to metabolism. They yield energy and are connected to many other pathways.

9. Mitochondria
Mitochondria are found in the cell cytoplasm and if oxygen is present aerobic respiration occurs here
They are the site of ATP production in cells.
The inner membrane has many folds (called cristae) to increase the surface area for respiration to take place – ELECTRON TRANSPORT CHAIN
The fluid filled central matrix contains many enzymes – CITRIC ACID CYCLE
Therefore, cells requiring much energy such as sperm, liver, muscle and nerve cells contain numerous mitochondria.
Pupils should label the diagram too!

Intermediate
Energy investment stage (2 ATP per glucose molecule are REQUIRED)
Intermediate

ADP
Irreversible
Carried out by phosphofructokinase
Intermediate
2ADP
2ATP
Energy PAY-OFF stage (4 ATP per glucose molecule are PRODUCED)
2NAD
2NADH
2ADP
2ATP
Pyruvate
(progresses to the citric acid cycle if oxygen is available)

12. Phosphofructokinase There are 2 phosphorylations during Glycolysis
The 2nd phosphorylation of glucose is catalysed by an enzyme called phosphofructokinase
This reaction is an irreversible reaction which only leads to the glycolytic pathway.

13. Dehydrogenase
During the energy pay off stage, H+ ions (hydrogen ions) are released from the substrate by a dehydrogenase enzyme.
Dehydrogenase also remove high energy electrons.
Both the H+ ions and high energy electrons are then passed to a coenzyme molecule called NAD.

14. Hydrogen Carriers Hydrogen is a gas
To keep it in the cell and allow it to be transferred between one substrate and another, it becomes attached to a HYDROGEN CARRIER (or hydrogen acceptor)
In RESPIRATION the main hydrogen acceptor is Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD)
When it is reduced (ie adds hydrogen) it is NADH
NAD + H NADH

15. Hydrogen Carriers
During glycolysis, hydrogen released from the glucose is temporarily bound to NAD
NAD is a coenzyme that acts as a hydrogen acceptor and carrier
NAD becomes reduced with the addition of hydrogen to form NADH
NAD + H NADH
NADH is transferred to the last stage of respiration – known as the electron transport chain and then goes back to the stage 1 and 2 as NAD and picks up more hydrogen

18. Pyruvate progresses to the citric acid cycle if oxygen is available.
Glycolysis involves the breakdown of glucose to pyruvate in the cytoplasm.
This progression of pathways can occur in the presence or absence of oxygen (fermentation).
The phosphorylation of intermediates in glycolysis occur in an energy investment phase, where 2 ATP are used up per glucose molecule.
The first phosphorylation leads to a product that can continue to a number of pathways.
The second phosphorylation, catalysed by phosphofructokinase, is an irreversible reaction leading only to the glycolytic pathway.
During the energy pay off stage, 4 ATP molecules are produced per glucose molecule, therefore generating the cell a net gain of 2 ATP molecules per glucose molecule.
2 Hydrogen ions are also released during the energy pay-off stage and are picked by the co-enzyme NAD to form NADH2.
Pyruvate progresses to the citric acid cycle if oxygen is available. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
