  1. Cellular Respiration Chapter 5 Section 3

  2. Cellular Energy • All of the energy you use comes from the food you eat • Before you can use that energy, the food is broken down and the energy is stored as ATP. • The transfer of the energy in organic compounds (particularly glucose) to ATP is called RESPIRATION. • Aerobic vs. anaerobic

  3. The Stages of Respiration Balanced chemical Equation for Cellular Respiration (aerobic)

  4. Stages of Respiration 1. Glucose is broken down to pyruvate during glycolysis

  5. Glycolysis 2 • Glycolysis-the first stage of cellular respiration in which glucose is broken down in the cytoplasm. • Glycolysis is an enzyme-assisted anaerobic process that breaks down 1 six-carbon sugar(glucose) into 2 three carbon pyruvate molecules • Net Yield vs. Net Gain?

  6. Stages of Respiration 1. Glucose is broken down to pyruvate during glycolysis 2. Krebs Cycle

  7. The Krebs Cycle • Named for Hans Krebs, who first described the cycle in 1937. • When O₂ is present, the pyruvate produced by glycolysis enters the mitochondrion and is converted to a 2-carbon compound Acetyl CoA. • Also called the Citric Acid Cycle

  8. Krebs Cycle Net Gain for the Krebs Cycle is 2 ATP’s. Remember that Glycolysis produces 2 pyruvate molecules, thus providing 2 rounds of the Krebs Cycle.

  9. Electron Transport Chain • In eukaryotic organisms, the ETC is located in the inner membranes of the mitochondria. • Hydrogen ions accumulate in the outer compartment producing a concentration gradient across the inner membrane. • H+ ions diffuse back into the inner compartment through a carrier protein that adds a phosphate group to ADP→ATP.

  11. Stages of Respiration

  12. Respiration in the Absence of O₂ • Fermentation-The recycling of NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate-oxidase ion) using an organic hydrogen acceptor. • Two Important types: • 1. Lactic Acid Fermentation • 2. Alcoholic Fermentation

  13. Lactic Acid Fermentation • Three Carbon Pyruvate molecule (glycolysis product) is converted to 3-carbon lactate. • Lactate is the ion of an organic acid called lactic acid. • Allows glycolysis to continue in the absence of O₂ • During vigorous exercise, pyruvate in muscles is converted to lactate when muscles must operate without enough O₂, causing soreness. • Blood removes most lactate

  14. Lactic Acid Fermentation

  15. Alcoholic Fermentation • Used by some bacteria, fungi and prokaryotes. • Occurs in a two-step process: • The three carbon pyruvate is broken down into a , a two-carbon compound, releasing carbon dioxide. • Electrons are transferred from a molecule of NADH to the two-carbon compound, producing ethyl alcohol. • As in lactic acid fermentation, the NAD+ is recycled and glycolysis continues.
