  1. CH7: Cellular Respiration pg 131

  2. Glycolysis • The primary fuel for cellular respiration is glucose. Equation for Photosynthesis • 6CO2 + 6H2O + pigment + sunlight C6H12O6 + 6O2 Equation for Cellular Respiration • C6H12O6 + O2 CO2 + H2O + ENERGY (ATP)

  3. Glycolysis, continued • In glycolysis, enzymes break down one six-carbon molecule of glucose into two three-carbon pyruvate molecules. • The breaking of a sugar molecule by glycolysis results in a net gain of two ATP molecules. • This process of glycolysis is anaerobic, or takes place without oxygen in the cytoplasm.

  4. Glycolysis, continued • Glycolysis is the only source of energy for some prokaryotes. • Other organisms use oxygen to release even more energy from a glucose molecule. • Metabolic processes that require oxygen are aerobic.

  5. Glycolysis, continued • Step 1, Breaking Down Glucose • Two ATP molecules are used to break glucose into two smaller units. • Phosphate is attached to these 2 – three carbon sugars (G3P)

  6. Glycolysis, continued • Step 2, NADH Production • Each of the three carbon sugars (G3P) react with another phosphate (not ATP) • Hydrogen atoms from these compounds transfer to two molecules of NAD+ resulting in 2 NADH molecules (Hydrogen ion/proton and e- carrier)

  7. Glycolysis, continued • Step 3, Pyruvate Production • In a series of 4 reactions, each of the 3 – carbon sugars are converted into a 3 – carbon molecule of pyruvate, resulting in 4 ATP molecules. • BUT 2 ATP molecules were used in step one, so net total for glycolysis is 2 ATP molecules

  8. Glycolysis

  9. Fermentation • To make ATP during glycolysis, NAD+ is converted to NADH. • Organisms must recycle NAD+ to continue making ATP through glycolysis. • The process in which carbohydrates are broken down in the absence of oxygen is called fermentation. • Allowing glycolysis to continue supplying a cell with ATP in anaerobic conditions.

  10. Two Types of Fermentation

  12. Aerobic Respiration • The first stage of aerobic respiration is the Krebs cycle, a series of reactions that produce electron carriers (NADH and FADH2). • The electron carriers enter an electron transport chain, which powers ATP synthase. • Up to 38 ATP molecules can be produced from one glucose molecule in aerobic respiration.

  13. Kreb’s Cycle • Pyruvate (from glycolysis) is broken down and combined with other carbon compounds creating CoA. • Releasing CO2 • The total yield of energy-storing products from the Krebs cycle is 2 ATP, 6 NADH, and 2 FADH2.

  14. Electron Transport Chain • The second stage of aerobic respiration takes place in the inner membranes of mitochondria • ATP synthase are located here • Electron carriers (NADH and FADH2), from the Krebs cycle • transfer energy in the form of e- and H+ into the electron transport chain. • e- are used to pump the H+ across the membrane to create a concentration gradient

  15. Electron Transport Chain ATP Production • Hydrogen ions diffuse through ATP synthase, providing energy to produce several ATP molecules from ADP.

  16. The Role of Oxygen • End of the ETC, the e- combine with an oxygen atom and two hydrogen ions to form two water molecules. • If oxygen is not present, the electron transport chain stops. • The electron carriers are not recycled, so the Krebs cycle also stops.

  17. Efficiency of Cellular Respiration • In the first stage of cellular respiration, glucose is broken down to pyruvate during glycolysis, an anaerobic process. • Glycolysis results in 2 ATP molecules for each glucose molecule that is broken down. • In the 2nd stage, pyruvate EITHER passes through the Krebs cycle OR undergoes fermentation. • Fermentation recycles NAD+ but does not produce ATP.

  18. Efficiency of Cellular Respiration cont’d • Cells release energy most efficiently when oxygen is present • For each glucose molecule that is broken down, as many as 2 ATP molecules are made during the Krebs cycle. • The Krebs cycle feeds NADH and FADH2to the ETC, which can produce up to 34 ATP molecules.
