4. Overview of Cellular Respiration
Organisms obtain energy in a process called cellular respiration.
Respiration harvests electrons from organic molecules and uses the energy to make ATP.
The equation for cellular respiration is the opposite of the equation for photosynthesis:

5. Overview of Cellular Respiration
Cellular respiration occurs in two main parts: glycolysis and aerobic respiration.
Glycolysis is an anaerobic process, meaning it does not require oxygen.
Aerobic respiration involves the Krebs cycle and electron transport.
Aerobic processes require oxygen.

6. Glycolysis
Glucose is broken down in the cytoplasm through the process of glycolysis.
Two molecules of ATP and two molecules of NADH are formed for each molecule of glucose that is broken down.

Cellular Respiration

7. Krebs Cycle Glycolysis has a net result of two ATP and two pyruvate.
Most of the energy from the glucose is still contained in the pyruvate.
In the presence of oxygen, pyruvate is transported into the mitochondrial matrix, where it is converted into carbon dioxide.
The series of reactions in which pyruvate is broken down into carbon dioxide is the Krebs cycle, also know as the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle.

8. Krebs Cycle Steps of the Krebs cycle
Prior to the Krebs cycle, pyruvate reacts with coenzyme A (CoA) to form acetyl CoA.
Acetyl CoA moves into the mitochondrial matrix.
Acetyl CoA combines with a 4-carbon compound to form citric acid.

9. Krebs Cycle Steps of the Krebs cycle
Citric acid is broken down releasing two molecules of carbon dioxide and generating one ATP, three NADH, and one FADH2.
Finally, acetyl CoA and citric acid are generated and the cycle continues.

11. Electron Transport
In aerobic respiration, electron transport is the final step in the breakdown of glucose.
NADH and FADH2 from the Krebs cycle are used to convert ADP to ATP.
Electron transport and chemiosmosis in aerobic respiration are similar to the processes of photosynthesis.

12. Electron Transport Prokaryotic cellular respiration
Some prokaryotes undergo aerobic respiration.
They do not have mitochondria, so they use the cellular membrane as the location of electron transport.

13. Anaerobic Respiration
When oxygen is unavailable, cells cannot follow glycolysis with the aerobic respiration (Krebs cycle and electron transport).
The anaerobic process that follows glycolysis is anaerobic respiration, or fermentation.
Fermentation occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell, and produces NAD+ and ATP.

14. Anaerobic Respiration
Lactic acid fermentation
Enzymes convert the pyruvate made during glycolysis into lactic acid.
Skeletal muscles produce lactic acid when the body cannot supply enough oxygen, such as during periods of strenuous exercise.
