Presentation Transcript

  1. Cellular Respiration

  2. Cellular Respiration • Cellular Respiration is a process by which cells gain energy from organic molecules.

  3. Cellular Respiration • C6H12O6 + 6O2 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP • Sugar + Oxygen  Carbon Dioxide + Water + ENERGY

  4. Cellular Respiration

  5. Cellular Respiration • Major Players in Cellular Respiration: • Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) – Energy source for all cells. Considered the “energy currency” of the cell. Releases large amounts of energy when converted to Adenosine diphosphate (ADP).

  6. CELLULAR respiration • NAD+/NADH • FAD/FADH2 • Energy Intermediates. Used at the last stage of Cellular Respiration to create ATP.

  7. Cellular Respiration

  8. Cellular Respiration • Cellular respiration can occur in 2 ways: • Aerobic Respiration – requires oxygen but yields a lot of energy. • Anaerobic Respiration – Occurs when oxygen is not present. Produces little energy. • Both Aerobic and Anaerobic respiration have the first step, Glycolysis, in common.

  9. Aerobic Cellular Respiration • Aerobic Cellular Respiration has 3 steps: • Glycolysis • Kreb’s Cycle (Citric Acid Cycle) • Oxidative Phosphorylation.

  10. Glycolysis

  11. Glycolysis • Glycolysis is the breaking down of glucose from a 6 carbon molecule into two pyruvate molecules (3 carbons each). This produces a net gain of two ATP and two NADH molecules. Glycolysis occurs in the Cytoplasm of a cell.

  12. Kreb’s Cycle (Citric acid cycle)

  13. Kreb’s Cycle • First Pyruvate is broken down into an Acetyl group (two Carbons) which gives off CO2 and one NADH molecule. • Each Acetyl group (2C) is broken down to two CO2molecules. One ATP, Three NADH and one FADH2 is made in the process. Because Glycolysis yielded two acetyl groups, total gain is: • 4 CO2, 2 ATP, 6 NADH, 2 FADH2 • Krebs’s Cycle occurs in the Mitochondria

  14. Oxidative phosphorylation

  15. Oxidative phosphorylation • Oxidative Phosphorylation consists of two parts, the Electron Transport Chain (ETC) and ATP synthase. NADH and FADH2 made in the previous stages contain high energy electrons that can be transferred to other molecules. When removed, these electrons release energy which is used to make approx. 34 ATP. • Occurs in the Mitochondria.
