  1. Chapter 8 Section 3 – Cellular Respiration

  2. Overview of Cellular Respiration • Living organisms obtain energy by breaking down organic molecules during cellular respiration. • It is a catabolic pathway in which organic molecules are broken down to release energy for use by the cell.

  3. The equation for cellular respiration is the opposite of the equation for photosynthesis.

  4. Cellular Energy • The Reactants of Cellular Respiration are: • Glucose (C6H12O6) – eat • Oxygen (O2) – breathe in • The Products of Cellular Respiration are: • Heat – released throughout your body • Carbon Dioxide (CO2) – breathe out • Water (H2O) – breathe out

  5. Cellular Energy Cellular respiration occurs in two main stages: • Glycolysis – occurs in the cytoplasm • Aerobic respiration – occurs in the mitochondria

  6. Glycolysis • The splitting of glucose • Occurs in the cytoplasm • Does not require oxygenhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3GTjQTqUuOw

  7. Glycolysis • Final products of glycolysis for each molecule of glucose are: • 2 ATP’s • 2 molecules of NADH • 2 molecules of pyruvate for each glucose molecule that is broken down • 4 molecules of ATP are actually produced when glucose is split, but the energy from 2 of those are needed for the reactions to take place.

  8. Cellular Energy • Aerobic Respiration • In aerobic respiration, oxygen is used to break down glucose molecules. • As a result 36 ATP can be made from 1 glucose molecule. • Aerobic respiration follows glycolysis and occurs inside the mitochondria. • The 2 pyruvate molecules are transported to the mitochondria.

  9. Cellular Energy • Two pyruvate molecules from glycolysis is transformed into acetyl CoA and enters the Krebs cycle.

  11. Cellular Energy • Krebs Cycle (sometimes referred to as the citric acid cycle) • Series of reactions in which pyruvate is broken down into carbon dioxide. • There are two “turns” of the Krebs cycle for each glucose molecule. Why?

  12. Cellular Energy • Krebs cycle results in the net production of: • 8 NADH • 2 FADH2 • 2 ATP • 6 CO2

  13. Cellular Energy • Electron Transport Chain • NADH & FADH2 enter electron transport chain in mitochondria cristae. • High energy electrons and hydrogen ions from NADH and FADH2 produced in the Krebs cycle are used to convert ADP to ATP.

  14. Cellular Energy • Electron Transport Chain • Oxygen is the final acceptor of electrons. • Protons and electrons are transferred to oxygen to form water. • Produce 32 more ATP.

  16. Cellular Energy Anaerobic Respiration • The first step in anaerobic respiration is also called glycolysis. • Anaerobic = without oxygen • Plant and animal cells cannot survive off of anaerobic respiration. • Not very efficient

  17. Cellular Energy Anaerobic Respiration • There are 2 types of anaerobic respiration: • Lactic acid fermentation • A process that occurs in animal cells • Causes your muscles to burn when you perform short bursts of activity • Alcohol fermentation • A process that occurs in plants • This is how alcohol, such as wine and beer, is made

  18. Lactic Acid Fermentation

  19. Alcohol Fermentation

  20. Review the two equations for photosynthesis and cell respiration. • They are reversed!

  21. Cellular Energy Cellular Respiration & Photosynthesis are Interrelated • Products for photosynthesis are oxygen and glucose, the reactants for cellular respiration. • Cellular respiration uses O2 to break the sugars down and releases the CO2 back into the atmosphere to be used again by plants.

  22. Cellular Energy Cellular Respiration & Photosynthesis are Interrelated • Notice! Molecules such as O2 and CO2 are recycled through the environment, however the energy is not! • Energy enters our environment as light and leaves back into outer space as heat.
