Cellular Respiration
Overview of Cellular Resiration
C6H12O6 + 6O2 ------------> 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP (energy)
! when oxygen is present, glycolysis is followed by the Krebs cycle and electron transport chain
! glycolysis, Krebs cycle, electron transport chain = cellular respiration (aerobic process)
enzymes
3 Stages of Cellular RespirationGlycolysis: 1st set of reactions; occurs in the cytoplasm; glucose is broken down to produce 2 pyruvic acid molecules and a net gain of 2 ATP.
Kreb’s Cycle (Citric Acid Cycle): pyruvic acid from glycolysis is broken down to produce carbon dioxide in a series of energy extracting reactions
6
Electron Transport Chain: uses high energy electrons from the Kreb’s cycle to convert ADP into ATP; occurs in the mitochondria
7
The Totals
8
How efficient is the process of cellular respiration?
! 1 glucose molecule = 36 ATP molecules = 38% of the total energy in glucose
! The remaining 62% is released as heat
2 Main Types of Fermentation
Alcoholic Fermentation ! Used by yeasts ! Equation:
Pyruvic Acid + NADH ---> alcohol +CO2 + NAD+
Glycolysis is followed by fermentation when oxygen is not present (anaerobic)
Lactic Acid FermentationLactic Acid Fermentation ! Occurs in our muscle cells during rapid exercise\ ! Equation:
pyruvic acid + NADH ---> lactic acid + NAD+
11
Which type of respiration is more efficient in terms of ATP
! Aerobic respiration because it produces 36 ATP molecules per every molecule of glucose
! Anaerobic Respiration (Fermentation) only produces 2 ATP molecules per every molecule of glucose
