Glycolysis
Life needs energy to survive and function efficiently.
Cells need to harvest energy
• Energy needed to grow and function
• Unicellular organisms• Ex. Yeast, bacteria
• Multicellular organisms• Human body has 3 trillion cells
Chemical Energy: ATP• “Energy currency”
• Adenine, ribose, and 3 phosphate groups
• Transfers energy from one source to another• 3rd phosphate group acts as
energy
• ATP• “active”: can donate extra
phosphate group
• ADP• 2 phosphate groups• “non-active”: must go try to
recruit a phosphate group
Metabolism
• All chemical activities in a cell or organism• Two types
• Synthesis− Building large, more complex molecules
− “uses” free energy
• Decomposition− “breaking down” rxn to smaller, simpler things
− “releases” free and heat energy
Cell Respiration
• A type of decomposition Reaction
• A pathway• Made up of several steps
• Generate energy by breaking down molecules• Sugar first choice• Also breaks down starch, fats, proteins
Sources of energy
• Carbohydrates• Simple Sugars
• Broken down very fast
• Ex. Sucrose, glucose, fructose
• Starches• Sugar units strung together
• Broken down into glucose first for energy
• Protein• Lipids
Glucose
Steps of Cellular Respiration
• Pathway made up of 3 major steps
• 1. Glycolysis
• 2. Kreb’s Cycle
• 3. Electron transport system
First stage in Respiration:Glycolysis
• Happens in cell cytoplasm• a.k.a. “cytosol”
• Fluid filling cell
• Breaks down glucose into pyruvate

Starting Material: Glucose
• Common raw material
• C6H12O6
• Complex sugars get broken down by enzymes to make glucose
C C C C C C
Step 1: Adding phosphates
• Enzyme converts glucose to glucose-6-phosphate
• 2 ATP needed for this step• 1 ATP gives energy• 1 ATP donates a phosphate group
C C C C C CP P
Step 2: Breaks in Half
• Glucose-6-biphosphate• unstable
• breaks down into two 3-carbon sugar-phosphates
C C C PC C CP
Step 3:Form Pyruvate
• Enzymes rearrange and oxidize(remove electrons) to form 2 pyruvate• A.k.a “pyruvic acid”• Electrons add to NAD+ to make 2 NADH• 4 ATP are produced(overview)

Next step depends on O2
• After glycolysis, next step depends on oxygen
• Growing Yams in Australia
• Oxygen= normal aerobic respiration• Creates more energy(ATP)
• No oxgyen=anaerobic respiration
Anaerobic respiration• NO OXYGEN!!!!• Produces less energy• Starts with glycolysis
• Glucose breaks down into 2 pyruvate
• Does not continue on til Kreb’s cycle• A.k.a “fermentation”
• Lactic acid fermentation• Ethanol fermentation
PYRUVATE
Lactate
Ethanol
Carbon
dioxide

Anaerobic:Lactic acid fermentation
• Animal cells and some bacteria will reverse the rxn that produced pyruvate
• NADH and pyruvate become NAD+ and lactate(3-carbon acid)• Yogurt: sour taste• Sore muscles

:Anaerobic: Ethanol Fermentation
• Done by yeast and some bacteria
• “waste” products • Ethanol• Carbon dioxide
• Alcohol
• Bread
Bread: Ethanol Fermentation
• Add baker’s yeast• Yeast perform anaerobic fermentation• Produce carbon dioxide and ethanol
• Carbon dioxide gets trapped in gluten(protein in wheat)
• Air bubbles in bread
• Ethanol evaporates during baking• Gives it that wonderful smell when baking
Aerobic Respiration
• There is oxygen!!!
• Pyruvate is transported to second step of respiration:
The Kreb’s Cycle
Making Homemade Ginger Ale
• Ethanol fermentation• Produces carbon dioxide and a unalcoholic
form of ethanol
• Organism: yeast• Dry baker’s yeast
• Used by bakers for making dough
• Add water to revive yeast
• Feed it sugar
• Add 1 cup of sugar• Add ¼ cup of dry
yeast• Mix by shaking
• Add 2 tbspoons of ginger to a cup
• Juice a whole lemon • Stir lemon and ginger
together
• Add slurry of lemon and ginger to bottle
• Rinse cup with water and add to bottle
• Cap bottle and shake• Fill bottle with clean, cool
water• Leave only an inch of air at
the top• Cap bottle and invert to
dissolve sugar.
