1 What we do with our energy
Cellular Respiration What we do with our energy

2

3 Anaerobic vs. aerobic Uses no oxygen Makes a little energy Uses oxygen
Makes a lot of energy

4 Overview Of Cellular Respiration
Cellular respiration is the process that releases energy by breaking down glucose and other molecules in the presence of oxygen. Mitochondria (mainly) 3 phases Glycolysis* Krebs cycle The electron transport chain

5 Purpose of cellular respiration?
To release energy from food molecules and make ATP! Why do we need ATP? To run chemical reactions that keep us alive and functioning.

6 Summary equation for Respiration
Copy equation

7 The pathways

8 Stage 1- The break down of glucose This happens regardless of the amount of oxygen
Glycolysis- Breakdown of glucose in the cytoplasm Anaerobic Breaks glucose into 2 pyruvate 2 ATPs required to start the reaction, 4 are produced. (gain of 2 ATPs)

9 Glycolysis uses 2ATP molecules but produces 4ATP molecules so there is a net gain of 2 molecules

10 What if there is no Oxygen?

11 Anaerobic respiration
Not enough oxygen for aerobic respiration Fermentation-releases energy (ATP) from food molecules when there is no oxygen. (Anaerobic = no oxygen) Two types: alcoholic fermentation, lactic acid fermentation

12 Lactic acid vs alcoholic
No oxygen Occurs in muscles Pyruvates lactate Occurs so muscles can continue making ATP Get lactate build up in muscles Causes soreness No oxygen Pyruvate  carbon dioxide & ethanol Seen in yeast and fungus Used to make beverages, food, makes dough rise

14 9.2 The Krebs cycle and Electron Transport

15 Stage 2: Production of ATP
Krebs cycle Takes place in mitochondria The Krebs cycle occurs twice for each glucose molecules Once for each pyruvate Remember 2 pyruvate =1 glucose

16 The Krebs Cycle Aerobic (requires oxygen)
Breaks pyruvic acid down into CO2 in a series of energy-extracting reactions Yields 2 ATPs and high-energy electrons for the electron transport chain

17 The Electron Transport Chain
Uses high-energy electrons from the Krebs Cycle to convert ADP into ATP. Makes 34 ATP

18 Overall Cellular Respiration breaks down C6H12O6 (glucose).
It produces H2O and CO2 It produces ATPs! 2 ATP - GLYCOLYSIS 2 ATP - KREBS CYCLE 32-34 – E.T.C.

19 Comparing Photosynthesis & Cellular Respiration
