Cellular Respiration
Cellular Respiration
What is Cellular Respiration?• When organisms capture the _______
stored in the chemical bonds of food molecules such as glucose and other sugars made in photosynthesis.
• Cellular respiration builds a molecule called• ATP, which powers all work within cells.
energy
Sucrose: A disaccharide
Glucose Fructose
Monosaccharides
ATP
Why ATP?• Why do we transfer the energy in the
chemical bonds of glucose into ATP?– ATP is small– ATP is stable – but not too stable– The bond between the 2nd and 3rd phosphates
in ATP holds a lot of energy.
Aerobic Respiration
1. Requires Oxygen
2. Many ATP molecules are made by the mitochondria from the glucose.

3 Steps to Cellular RespirationBreaking the bonds of Glucose for ATP
1. Glycolysis: • Occurs in the cytoplasm • No O2 required
• 2 made
2. Krebs or Citric Acid Cycle:• Occurs in the matrix• CO2 gas is released here
• 2 made
3. Electron Transport Chain• Occurs in the folds of the inner membrane (crista)• Uses O2 and about 32 and water is made.

“Glyco” “lysis” literally means “sugar” “splitting”

Anytime bonds break, energy is released. Energy carriers can capture some of that
energy. The remainder is released as heat.

When bonds break, ATP can be made from that energy

These smaller sugar molecules made from glycolysis are called Pyruvate
Just observe what happens next….
The Krebs Cycle takes place in the Matrix of the Mitochondrion, where more bonds are broken.
NAD+
NAD+NADH
NADH Food for thought… what gas am I?The CO2
that gets exhaled
Citric Acid
The Krebs Cycle takes place in the Matrix of the Mitochondrion, where more bonds are broken.
NAD+NADH
The Krebs Cycle takes place in the Matrix of the Mitochondrion, where more bonds are broken.
NAD+NADH
The Krebs Cycle takes place in the Matrix of the Mitochondrion, where more bonds are broken.

ADPATP
NADHNAD+
The Krebs Cycle takes place in the Matrix of the Mitochondrion, where more bonds are broken.
FADHFADH2
The Krebs Cycle takes place in the Matrix of the Mitochondrion, where more bonds are broken.
What is gained per glucose molecule during the Krebs Cycle?
NADH = +4
FADH2 = +1
• But there were two molecules of pyruvate that entered the Krebs Cycle…
• How many would actually be produced in this case?
+8
+2
Energy Carriers
ATP = +1+2
What kind of waste was made in the Krebs cycle?
6 CO2 gas!
Where is the Electron Transport Chain?
Inside the mitochondrion.
Folds of the inner membrane known as cristae.
Many ATP molecules willbe produced in these
Electron Transport Chains
What are the energy carriers NADH and FADH2 for?
• They power the Electron Transport Chain that make a lot of ATP!

Photosynthesis and Respiration
Fermentation: Anaerobic
Respiration 1. Occurs when there is not
enough oxygen to sustain an activity, so ATP cannot be made in the mitochondria.
2. Two basic types:
a. Lactic Acid Fermentation (in animals)
b. Alcohol Fermentation (in micro-organisms such as yeast)
3. Fermentation keeps glycolysis going, so at least 2 ATPs can still be made, until oxygen levels are restored.
