Let’s draw the chemical formula Let’s draw the chemical formula on the board!!on the board!!

What are the reactants, What are What are the reactants, What are the products?the products?

What type of energy What type of energy transformations are going on?transformations are going on?

Are your cells Are your cells respirating right respirating right now???now???

So how do you get So how do you get glucose in your body?glucose in your body? And what is it exactly??And what is it exactly??

It’s a cycle in plant cells, Jennnnay

The process of cellular The process of cellular respiration is taking respiration is taking place in your cells right place in your cells right now!!now!!

You are currently taking in You are currently taking in oxygen and burning sugars within oxygen and burning sugars within the mitochondria to release the mitochondria to release chemical energy. chemical energy.

This process is also known as This process is also known as Aerobic Respiration. Why?Aerobic Respiration. Why?– Because Oxygen is present which Because Oxygen is present which

allows your cells to burn glucose into allows your cells to burn glucose into energy much more efficiently.energy much more efficiently.

– I am sure you have heard of I am sure you have heard of Aerobics.Aerobics.

What would happen if your What would happen if your cells were deprived of oxygen?? cells were deprived of oxygen?? Would they still be able to burn Would they still be able to burn glucose to make energy??glucose to make energy?? YES!!YES!! FermentationFermentation

– When might this occur?When might this occur?– Long distance runners often create an Long distance runners often create an

anaerobic environment for their cellsanaerobic environment for their cells What does anaerobic mean??What does anaerobic mean??

– No Oxygen presentNo Oxygen present

– Not a very energy efficient process Not a very energy efficient process and a bad side effect is produced:and a bad side effect is produced: Lactic AcidLactic Acid

A different example of A different example of fermentationfermentation Breweries rely on this process:Breweries rely on this process:

– Yeast cells need energy to survive, Yeast cells need energy to survive, so they will breakdown sugars in so they will breakdown sugars in anaerobic conditions and a anaerobic conditions and a byproduct is alcohol.byproduct is alcohol.

– How do you know COHow do you know CO22 is produced? is produced?
