  1. Chapter 9 Cellular Respiration: Harvesting Chemical Energy

  2. Overview: Life Is Work • Living cells • Require transfusions of energy from outside sources to perform their many tasks

  3. Figure 9.1 • The giant panda • Obtains energy for its cells by eating plants

  4. Light energy ECOSYSTEM Photosynthesisin chloroplasts Organicmolecules CO2 + H2O + O2 Cellular respirationin mitochondria ATP powers most cellular work Heatenergy Figure 9.2 • Energy • Flows into an ecosystem as sunlight and leaves as heat

  5. Concept 9.1: Catabolic pathways yield energy by oxidizing organic fuels

  6. Catabolic Pathways and Production of ATP • The breakdown of organic molecules is exergonic

  7. One catabolic process, fermentation • Is a partial degradation of sugars that occurs without oxygen

  8. Cellular respiration • Is the most prevalent and efficient catabolic pathway • Consumes oxygen and organic molecules such as glucose • Yields ATP

  9. To keep working • Cells must regenerate ATP

  10. Redox Reactions: Oxidation and Reduction • Catabolic pathways yield energy • Due to the transfer of electrons

  11. The Principle of Redox • Redox reactions • Transfer electrons from one reactant to another by oxidation and reduction

  12. In oxidation • A substance loses electrons, or is oxidized • In reduction • A substance gains electrons, or is reduced

  20. The electron transport chain • Passes electrons in a series of steps instead of in one explosive reaction • Uses the energy from the electron transfer to form ATP

  22. The Stages of Cellular Respiration: A Preview • Respiration is a cumulative function of three metabolic stages • Glycolysis • The citric acid cycle • Oxidative phosphorylation

  23. Glycolysis • Breaks down glucose into two molecules of pyruvate • The citric acid cycle • Completes the breakdown of glucose

  24. Oxidative phosphorylation • Is driven by the electron transport chain • Generates ATP
