Respiration Converting and using energy

Photosynthesis ReviewPhotosynthesis Review► Photosynthesis Photosynthesis

stored energy in the stored energy in the form of glucose. form of glucose. Glucose is what Glucose is what

animals and plants animals and plants use as their source of use as their source of energy.energy.

► But ATP is the usable But ATP is the usable energy in a cell…not energy in a cell…not glucose. So…glucose. So…

Respiration: What is it?Respiration: What is it?►Essentially cellular respiration Essentially cellular respiration

breaks food particles (glucose) breaks food particles (glucose) down into ATP.down into ATP.• ATP is the form of energy that cells ATP is the form of energy that cells

can use.can use.• Respiration provides all living things Respiration provides all living things

with the energy they need.with the energy they need.• This is aerobic respiration, which This is aerobic respiration, which

requires oxygen. requires oxygen.

3 steps of respiration:3 steps of respiration:1.1. Glycolysis:Glycolysis:

Glucose broken down into smaller Glucose broken down into smaller parts (2 molecules of Pyruvic Acid)parts (2 molecules of Pyruvic Acid)

ATP producedATP produced2.2. Citric Acid Cycle (Krebs Cycle):Citric Acid Cycle (Krebs Cycle):

Pyruvic Acid is broken down into COPyruvic Acid is broken down into CO22 More ATP is produced.More ATP is produced.

Anaerobic respirationAnaerobic respiration►Often referred to as fermentationOften referred to as fermentation►Does not require oxygen (ODoes not require oxygen (O22))

• Byproduct is alcoholByproduct is alcohol• Only happens in oxygen deprived environmentsOnly happens in oxygen deprived environments

- We had anaerobic respiration in our yeast lab! - We had anaerobic respiration in our yeast lab! - Brewing- Brewing

• Does not produce as much ATP as aerobic Does not produce as much ATP as aerobic respiration, therefore plants and animals use respiration, therefore plants and animals use aerobic respiration whenever they can. aerobic respiration whenever they can.
