Cellular Respiration CONVERTS ENERGY IN FOOD TO ENERGY IN ATP
CELLULAR RESPIRATION INVOLVES SEVERAL STEPS • Involves over 25 chemical reactions • Occurs in cytoplasm and mitochondria • Can be divided into three main stages: • 1) Glycolysis • 2) The Krebs cycle • 3) The electron transport chain
STAGES OF CELLULAR RESPIRATION • 1st Stage: Glycolysis - cytoplasm—anaerobic (no O2 needed) • 2nd Stage: Krebs Cycle - mitochondria—aerobic (O2 needed) • 3rd Stage: Electron Transport Chain - mitochondria—aerobic (O2 needed)
STAGE ONE: GLYCOLYSIS • Does NOT require oxygen anaerobic • First step in cellular respiration • Occurs in cytoplasm • Occurs in ALL organisms • One glucose molecule is split to form two molecules of pyruvic acid
GLYCOLYSIS HAS 2 PHASES • Energy investment phase: 2 ATP needed to start reaction • Energy harvest phase: 4 ATP produced • Net gain: 2 ATP
Envelope has inner and outer membranes Inner membrane: Very highly folded provides increased surface area Has many sites where cellular respiration can occur Encloses thick fluid matrix STRUCTURE OF MITOCHONDRIA
STAGE TWO: THE KREBS CYCLE • Occurs in matrix of inner mitochondrial membrane • Aerobic – O2 needed • 2 Pyruvic acid 2 Acetyl CoA + 2 CO2 • 2 Acetyl CoA 4 CO2 + 2 ATP • Net result: 2 ATP produced
STAGE THREE: ELECTRON TRANSPORT CHAIN • Occurs on inner mitochondrial membrane • Also called oxidative phosphorylation or chemiosmosis • Aerobic—requires O2 • Electron transport chain works with H+ ions and ATPsynthase (proteins in membrane) to produce ATP • Generates up to 34 ATP per original glucose molecule
MAXIMUM ATP PER GLUCOSE • GLYCOLYSIS = 2 ATP • KREBS CYCLE = 2 ATP • ELECTRON TRANSPORT CHAIN / ATP SYNTHASE = 34 ATP 38 ATP This production results only if O2 is present
FERMENTATION • Process that makes ATP without O2 • ATP produced in fermentation comes entirely from glycolysis • Produces no additional ATP • When O2 is not present there is an overall net gain of 2 ATP per glucose molecule • Two major types of fermentation: • Lactic acid fermentation • Alcoholic fermentation
LACTIC ACID FERMENTATION • Occurs in muscle cells when O2 supply is too low • Cellular respiration continues but fermentation is main ATP source • Produces lactic acid - waste product • Results in muscle soreness after strenuous exercise • Relieved after O2 supply restored
LACTIC ACID FERMENTATION Causes muscle pain and cramping
ALCOHOLIC FERMENTATION • Yeast: alcoholic fermentation • Produces ethyl alcohol instead of lactic acid under anaerobic conditions • Used in brewing industry • Released CO2 makes champagne and beer bubbly • Used by bakers to make bread rise
FERMENTATION IN MICROORGANISMS • Fungi & Bacteria: produce lactic acid like muscle cells • Used to flavor yogurt, some cheeses • Other fermentation processes: • Soybeans soy sauce • Cabbage sauerkraut
