  1. Aerobic Respiration • Only occur in the presence of oxygen • Two stages • Krebs Cycle • Electron Transport Chain • with chemiosmosis • Prokaryotes • Occur in cytosol • Eukaryotes • Occur in mitochondria

  2. Aerobic Respiration • After glycolysis, pyruvic acids are produced • Pyruvic acid moves inside mitochondria into mitochondrial matrix (space between two membranes) • Pyruvic acid + CoA  Acetyl CoA + CO2

  3. The Krebs Cycle • Acetyl CoA  CO2 + H + ATP • The H produced reduce NAD+  NADH • Five steps in the Krebs Cycle • Occurs in mitochondrial matrix • Citric Acid is made in Step 1 therefore this is also called the Citric Acid cycle • Net ATP produced is 2 ATP

  4. Krebs Cycle - Step 1 • Acetyl CoA + oxaloacetic acid  Citric Acid • This step releases CoA back into the mitochondrial matrix for pyruvic acid to be fixed again

  5. Krebs Cycle – Step 2 • Citric acid releases CO2 and H • Becomes a 5-carbon compound • The H released, reduces the NAD+ to NADH

  6. Krebs Cycle – Step 3 • Five carbon compound releases another CO2 and H • Becomes a 4 carbon compound • Another NAD+ is reduced to NADH • Produces an ATP

  7. Krebs Cycle – Step 4 • 4 carbon compound releases H atom • This time, FAD is reduced to FADH2 • Similar molecule to NAD+

  8. Krebs Cycle – Step 5 • 4 carbon compound releases H atom • Reduces NAD+ to NADH • This reaction regenerates initial oxaloacetic acid

  9. Electron Transport Chain • Uses the high-energy e- from the Krebs Cycle to convert ADP to ATP • Total net ATP produced is 34!! • Prokaryotes • Occurs on cell membrane of organism • Eukaryotes • Occurs in the mitochondria membrane called cristae

  10. ETC – Step 1 • NADH & FADH2 are used to power this chain of reactions • NADH & FADH2 are oxidized (lose e-) to the electron transport chain • Also donate H atoms • NADH  NAD+ • FADH2  FAD+

  11. ETC – Step 2 • Electrons from NADH & FADH2 are passed down chain • Lose some energy each time passed on

  12. ETC – Step 3 • Lost energy from e- transferring down the chain pump protons (H+) • This creates high conc. of H+ between inner and outer membranes • Creates a concentration gradient & electrical gradient since H+ are positive

  13. ETC – Step 4 • Concentration & electrical gradient in membranes produce ATP molecules by chemiosmosis • ATP synthase is protein embedded in membrane that pumps protons out and creates ATP

  14. ETC – Step 5 • The electrons move to final acceptor down the chain • Oxygen is the final acceptor • Oxygen also accepts protons provided by NADH & FADH2 • The protons, electrons, and oxygen all combine to produce H2O

  15. Importance of Oxygen • The only way to produce ATP is by the movement of electrons in the ETC • Oxygen is the final acceptor • Without oxygen, the ETC would halt

  16. Efficiency of Aerobic Respiration • Glycolysis = 2 ATP • Krebs Cycle = 2 ATP • ETC = 34 ATP • Total = 38 ATP!!

  17. Efficiency Equation • Depends on conditions of the cell • How ATP are transported • Cellular respiration is 20 times more efficient than glycolysis

  18. Summary • Cellular respiration • Glycolysis • Glucose  pyruvic acid + ATP + NADH • Aerobic respiration • Pyruvic acid  CO2 + H2O + ATP

  19. Energy & Exercise • Quick energy – Lactic Acid fermentation is used to get quick energy and gives off lactic acid as a by product, thus the muscle pain. • Long-Term Energy – Use cellular respiration to produce energy. Exercising or activities that last for at least 15 to 20 minutes. Best form for weight control.
