Catabolic Pathways and Production of ATP • The breakdown of organic molecules is exergonic • One catabolic process, fermentation • Is a partial degradation of sugars that occurs without oxygen • Concept 9.1: Catabolic pathways yield energy by oxidizing organic fuels • Due to the transfer of electrons
Cellular respiration • Is the most prevalent and efficient catabolic pathway • Consumes oxygen and organic molecules such as glucose • Yields ATP

About 40% of the energy in a glucose molecule • Is transferred to ATP during cellular respiration, making approximately 36 to 38 ATP
Concept 9.5: Fermentation enables some cells to produce ATP without the use of oxygen • Cellular respiration (aerobic) • Relies on oxygen to produce ATP • In the absence of oxygen (anaerobic) • Cells can still produce ATP through fermentation
Glycolysis • Can produce ATP with or without oxygen, in aerobic or anaerobic conditions • Couples with fermentation to produce ATP
Types of Fermentation • Fermentation consists of • Glycolysis plus reactions that regenerate NAD+, which can be reused by glyocolysis
In alcohol fermentation • Pyruvate is converted to ethanol in two steps, one of which releases CO2
During lactic acid fermentation • Pyruvate is reduced directly to NADH to form lactate as a waste product
