Learn about cellular respiration, the process by which glucose molecules are broken down to release energy in all living cells. This article explains the three stages of cellular respiration and compares it to photosynthesis. Find out where it occurs and how it produces ATP.

What is Cellular Respiration? • Step-by-step breakdown of glucose molecules to release energy • Produce ATP • Takes place day and night in ALL LIVING CELLS
Cellular Respiration C6H12O6 + 6O2 6CO2 + 6H2O + Energy Glucose + Oxygen Carbon Dioxide + Water + Energy
Where does it occur? • In the Cell • Mitochondria
Cellular Respiration3 Stages • 3 Stages: • Stage 1: Glycolysis • O2 not required (anaerobic) • Stage 2: Krebs Cycle • O2 required (aerobic) • Stage 3: Electron Transport Chain • O2 required (aerobic) 2 ATPs 2 ATPs 32 ATPs

1. Aerobic Occurs in the presence of oxygen Breaks down glucose completely Releases large amounts energy 36 ATP Types of Cellular Respiration
Types of Cellular Respiration • 2. Anaerobic • Occurs when there is no oxygen available • Partially breaks down glucose • Releases very small amount of energy • 2 ATP
Fermentation • Anaerobic process that follows Glycolysis when there is NO OXYGEN • Provides a means to continue producing ATP until Oxygen is available • Does NOT produce and additional ATP • JUST keeps GLYCOLYSIS going over & over
GLUCOSE 2 ATP Glycolysis Fermentation (anaerobic) Aerobic Respiration Krebs Cycle ATP Electron Transport Chain ATP
Lactic Acid Fermentation Occurs in animal muscle cells Produces Lactic Acid as waste Only oxygen can get rid of lactic acid Fermentation
Fermentation • Alcoholic Fermentation • Plants, Yeast & Bacteria • Ethyl alcohol is produced as waste-product • Basis of wine & beer industry • Bread making (rise)
Respiration vs. Photosynthesis Respiration: C6H12O6 + 6O2 6CO2 + 6H2O + Energy Photosynthesis: 6CO2 + 6H2O + Energy C6H12O6 + 6O2
PHOTOSYNTHESIS • The process by which light energy is used to make simple sugars (glucose) • Producers/Autotrophs the type of organisms that perform photosynthesis
Photosynthesis Equation Light Energy + 6CO2 + 6H2O C6H12O6 + 6O2 aka SUN + Carbon Dioxide + Water Glucose + Oxygen
Starting Materials • Carbon obtained from carbon dioxide taken in from air • Light from SUN • Water absorbed through roots
PRODUCTS • Glucose C6H12O6 used for energy • Oxygen released into atmosphere as waste
TWO STAGES • Light Dependent Reactions 1. Requires sunlight 2. Traps light energy in chlorophyll 3. Forms ATP
TWO STAGES B. Calvin Cycle 1. Does NOT require sunlight 2. Glucose is made using ATP from 1st stage
Plant Cell Structure • Chloroplast – organelle in plant cell, site of photosynthesis
Plant Cell Structure • Chlorophyll- pigment in chloroplast that absorbs ALL but green light
