CELLULAR RESPIRATION

Final Project By: Alejandra Gomez

Computer Block D

Due: January 26,2010

WHERE IS IT LOCATED?

Occurs in the Mitochondria

Cellular Respiration= Chemical Process

STAGES IN ORDER FOR CELLULAR

RESPIRATION TO OCCUR

The three stages include:

1.Glycolysis2.Krebs Cycle

3.Electron transport Exchange and ATP

Synthase Action

1ST STAGE: GLYCOLYSIS

•Occurs in the cytoplasm

Glycolysis means “splitting of sugar”

1st stage in breaking down a glucose molecule

2ND STAGE: KREB’S CYCLE

Finishes the breakdown of pyruvic acid molecules

The enzymes are dissolved in the fluid matrix

At the end, 4 –carbon acceptor molecule has been regenerated

3RD STAGE: ELECTRON TRANSPORT EXCHANGE AND ATP SYNTHASE

•Occurs in the inner membrane of the mitochondria• there are 2 parts to this stage:

1.Electron transport Chain2.ATP Synthase

Uses the

energy form

H+ ions to

covert ADP to

ATP

CELLULAR RESPIRATION TO BREATHING

Anaerobic= without oxygen

Aerobic= requires oxygen
