OVERALL EQUATION

C6H12O6 + 6O2 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy(ATP)

Glucose + Oxygen Carbon Dioxide + Water + ATP

Adenosine triphosphate

VOCABULARY• Autotrophs • Organisms that are able to produce their own chemical

energy (food), ex. plants

• Heterotrophs– Organisms that obtain their chemical energy from other sources,

by eating ex. animals

• Cellular Respiration – Breaking down organic molecules to produce energy

• Aerobic Respiration – Oxygen present for pathway of breaking down food

• Anaerobic Respiration – No Oxygen present - causes an alternative pathway

Focus on Aerobic Pathway for Cellular Respiration

• STEPS– 1. Glycolysis – splits the glucose in half (6C to 3C),

occurs in cytoplasm of cell

– 2. Pyruvic acid conversion – loss of CO2 produces a product ready for the next step, occurs in mitochondria

– 3. Kreb Cycle – breaks down the remaining carbons from what’s left of the glucose molecule, produces high energy products NADH and FADH2, , occurs in matrix of mitochondria

Steps continued

-4. Electron Transport Chain – a series of proteins along the inner membrane of mitochondria that pass e-

* OXYGEN is the final acceptor of electrons

* H+ build up powers ATP synthase (sound familiar)

Pyruvic Acid Conversion

Why twice?

Kreb Cyclehttp://www2.nl.edu/jste/aerobic_respiration.htm

Where does CO2 go?

Where do NADH and FADH2 go?

Electron Transport Chain (ETC)http://highered.mcgraw-hill.com/sites/0072437316/student_view0/chapter9/animations.html#

WHAT HAPPENS IF NO OXYGEN IS PRESENT??

Can’t do Electron Transport Chain so…no use doing Kreb cycle. Why not?

- NADH and FADH2 have nowhere to go if ETC not running.

ANAEROBIC PATHWAYS

• Alcohol Fermentation – organism produce alcohol from pyruvic acid ex. Yeast cells

• Lactic Acid Fermentation – muscle cells not receiving enough oxygen so they produce lactic acid from pyruvic acid

Alcohol FermentationHow many ATP?

Lactic Acid FermentationHow many ATP?

2

Pros and Cons of Lactic Acid Fermentation

• Pros – your muscle will keep working even without sufficient oxygen

• Cons – you feel it, lactic acid causes sore muscles and cramping

• Your body will get rid of lactic acid – it diffuses into blood and goes to liver where it is converted back to pyruvic acid – ready for O2
