AOD B.3.4 Recognize a given formula as either photosynthesis or cellular respiration.

2. Overview
Fill in the major steps in cellular respiration while watching the following video clip:

3. Section 9-1 What is the function of the mitochondria?
What types of cells contain mitochondria?
All eukaryotic cells

4. Mitochondria release the energy from glucose and other food compounds.
Step 1: Glycolysis
Step 2:
If glycolysis takes place in the presence of oxygen, then the Kreb’s cycle and electron transport chain work to produce lots of ATP.
Without oxygen, fermentation occurs.

5. Cellular Respiration
Made up of all three processes: glycolysis, Kreb’s cycle, and electron transport chain
Occurs in the presence of oxygen
C6H12O6 + 6O CO2 + 6H2O energy
Glucose, if converted all at once, would set the cells on fire!

6. Glycolysis
Breaks 1 glucose molecule in half, producing 2 molecules of pyruvic acid (a 6-carbon molecule becomes 2 3-carbon molecules).
Requires 2 molecules of ATP to break the glucose molecule.
At the end, the cell will have 4 ATP molecules --- a gain of 2 

7. NADH Production in Glycolysis
4 high-energy electrons and 2 H+’s attach to 2 electron carriers called NAD+ (comparable to NADP+ in photosynthesis), converting it into NADH.
Glysolysis yields low energy amounts, but extremely rapidly, and with or without oxygen.

8. Overview/Review

9. Fermentation (“Anaerobic Respiration”)
Releases energy from food particles by producing ATP in the absence of oxygen.
Cells convert NADH back to NAD+ by passing electrons back to pyruvic acid. This allows glycolysis to continue producing ATP.

10. 2 Types of Fermentation:
Alcoholic fermentation
Yields ethyl alcohol and CO2
Pyruvic acid + NADH alcohol + CO2 + NAD+
What types of cells?
Lactic acid fermentation
Yields lactic acid
Pyruvic acid + NADH lactic acid + NAD+
Plants ---- grains
Muscles; unicellular prokaryotes (producing cheese, yogurt, buttermilk, pickles, kimchi, etc.)

11. Bellringer/Assessment
Refer to the “Overview/Review” for glycolysis, and Figures 9-3 and 9-4, as needed, to create a simple flowchart for:
Glycolysis
Alcoholic fermentation
Lactic acid fermentation
(Remember, flowchart instructions/example are found on p.1065)

12. Section 9-2 What are the “waste” products of cellular respiration?
How do we get rid of these waste products?
Quick Lab: How does exercise affect disposal of wastes from cellular respiration? (p.231)

13. Section 9-2
The aerobic (“in air” – or oxygen) pathway after glycolysis consists of 2 main portions:
The Kreb’s cycle
The electron transport chain

14. Kreb’s Cycle Discovered by Hans Krebs in 1937.
Breaks pyruvic acid (from where???) into (ultimately) carbon dioxide

15. Kreb’s Cycle Steps Pyruvic acid enters the mitochondrion.
One carbon atom breaks off and forms carbon dioxide. The other 2 carbon atoms, 1 oxygen atom, and 3 hydrogen atoms form an acetyl group that attaches to coenzyme A to form acetyl-CoA.

16. Kreb’s Cycle Steps
Acetyl-CoA adds the acetyl group to a 4-carbon molecule, forming a 6-carbon citric acid molecule. (This is why it is also called the citric acid cycle.)
2 carbons are removed (individually) to form CO2, and electrons are added to energy carrier molecules (???).

17. Kreb’s Cycle Steps
After 2 carbons have been removed, how many carbons are left?
This 4-carbon molecule is now ready to accept another acetyl group.

18. Kreb’s Cycle Steps
6. For each cycle, an ATP molecule is produced --- as citric acid is being reduced to a 4-carbon molecule. 7. Additionally, 5 pairs of high-energy electrons are transferred to electron carriers, changing NAD+ to ??? and FAD to FADH2.

19. Kreb’s Cycle Products CO2 ATP NADH and FADH2
What happens to each of these products?

20. Electron Transport Chain
So what do you think happens here?
Electrons from the Kreb’s cycle are used to convert ADP to ATP.
How do electrons get from the Kreb’s cycle to the transport chain?
Attached to NADH and FADH2 

21. NADH and FADH2 release H+’s and electrons.
The electrons are passed down the transport chain until they join with oxygen and H+’s to form water (H2O).
Every time 2 electrons are transported down the chain, a H+ is transported across the membrane.

22. How do the H+’s generate energy for the cell?
They cross ATP synthase to reestablish an equilibrium of charges, and convert ADP to ATP.
They join with oxygen and electrons to form water (H2O).
What happens to the NADH and FADH2?
Converted to NAD+ and FAD to be reused (where????).

23. Total Production Glycolysis = 2 ATP
This is ALL the ATP produced without oxygen.
WITH oxygen:
Kreb’s cycle + electron transport chain = 34 ATP
Total = 36 ATP x more than anaerobic respiration!!!!
