Cellular Respiration and Fermentation. Why Do Organisms Need To Respire. ATP energy! Needed to: Build proteins Copy DNA Muscle contractions Nerve impulses Synthesizing hormones. Overview of Aerobic Respiration. Aerobic Cellular Respiration. Aerobic= “with air”.
E N D
Why Do Organisms Need To Respire • ATP energy! • Needed to: • Build proteins • Copy DNA • Muscle contractions • Nerve impulses • Synthesizing hormones
Aerobic Cellular Respiration • Aerobic= “with air” This process yields 36 ATP molecules!
Glycolysis • Glycolysis occurs in cytoplasm • Glyco= sweet • Lysis= to break • Results in 4 ATP per molecule of glucose
Kreb’s Cycle and Electron Transport Chain • The Kreb’s Cycle and Electron transport chain occur in the mitochondrion • Produces 32 ATP molecules
Fermentation Also known as anaerobic respiration= “without air”
Lactic Acid Fermentation • Bacteria in yogurt produce lactic acid • Animals experience muscle fatigue when lactic acid builds up
Alcoholic Fermentation • This process yields 4 ATP for every glucose molecule
