Presentation on theme: "Energy is stored in the chemical bonds of glucose"— Presentation transcript:

1 Energy is stored in the chemical bonds of glucose
Light energy*  Chemical bond energy (ATP*) ATP* hydrolysis  ADP + Pi + energy* 6CO H2O (H source) + energy*  glucose*

2 To synthesize organic molecules, it takes energy and reducing power.
ATP Source of attachable H.

3 To retrieve energy from glucose:
1. strip away high energy electrons from the chemical bonds of glucose 2. this is oxidation (loss of electrons) 3. cellular respiration is a two-step process: remove electrons use the energy in those electrons

4

5 Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm of all living organisms
enzymatic splitting of glucose yields 2 pyruvates net gain of 2 ATP and 2 NADH*

6

7 Substrate-level phosphorylation

8 Pyruvate oxidized (by NAD+)
One C removed as CO2 Coenzyme A is added Leaves acetyl-CoA

9 Acetyl-CoA can have many fates:
ATP synthesis (in mitochondria) fat synthesis lipid synthesis amino acid synthesis

10 2 CO2 3 NADH 1 FADH2 1 ATP original 4-C sugar

12 Electron Transport System

13 Photosynthesis vs. Cellular Respiration
source of high-energy electrons used electrons cannot be recycled in mitochondria

14 Net results

15 ATP production decreases when ATP is plentiful.

16

17 Animal cells convert pyruvate to lactic acid in the absence of O2
Makes NAD+ available so glycolysis can continue

18

19 Yeast cells convert pyruvate to ethanol in the absence of O2
