CellularRespiration

Overview

Given: Cells need energy.Given: Food contains energy.

Prove: How cells get the energy out of food into a usable form.

Overview

What kind of energy is in food?

Chemical EnergyKinetic Energy

Overview

What kind of energy do cells use?

Chemical Energy – ATP

Problem

Convert

Into

Solution

Slowly break down food molecules, and convert the energy in their bonds into energy that can make ATP.

The Big PictureGlycolysis:

Break apart glucose

Krebs Cycle:Pluck electrons from glucose

Why Oxygen?•Most electronegative.

•Without it, the entire system backs up like an assembly line.

•Create water at the end – an actual source of water for some creatures.

Summary

Why all the rigmarole?

Release the energy slowly tocontrol where it goes.

Still not efficient – body heatis evidence.
