Cellular Respiration
Autotrophs and Heterotrophs
Autotrophs – producers
Use simple inorganic compounds to produce complex
organic compounds
Use external source of NRG
Types:
Photoautotrophs
Chemoautotrophs
Carry out photosynthesis
Light as NRG source
Use oxidation of inorganic compounds (H2S, NH4+ compounds
and Fe2+ compounds) as energy
Heterotrophs - consumers
Aerobes and Anaerobes
Aerobes
Organisms which utilize O2 to oxidize substances in order to
obtain energy
Types:
Obligate aerobes (must use O2 at all times) – most animals,
fungi, some bacteria
Facultative aerobes (use O2, but also have anaerobic methods
to produce NRG) – yeast; even some human cells (use of lactic
acid instead)
Anaerobes
Organisms that do not utilize O2 for NRG
Types:
Obligate anaerobes (O2 is poisonous)
Facultative anaerobes (can be exposed to O2)
Digestion: Breaking
Down
Macromolecules
into Monomers
Glucose is
converted to
pyruvate in the
cytosol. Pyruvate
enters the
mitochondria.
Phosphorylation
Types of Phosphorylation of ATP:
Substrate-level:
Transfer of phosphate group to ADP from a reactive
intermediate
Not coupled with oxidation
Oxidative
Production of ATP coupled with NADH or FADH2
Requires chemiosmosis of H+ ions across the matrix
membrane (for the most part)
Stage 1 of Cellular Respiration: Glycolysis
(no O2 needed!)
Animation
In the cytosol
First step: Glucose gets phosphorylated!
This way it can’t diffuse out of the cell
Remember: Transport of glucose across the
membrane
PLUS: destabilization of the ether bond!
End product: 2 molecules of pyruvate
Net Reaction:
Glucose + 2 ADP + 2 Pi + 2 NAD+ - 2 pyruvate + 2 ATP + 2 NADH + 2 H+
C6H12O6 + 2 ADP + 2 Pi + 2 NAD+ - 2 C3H3O3- + 2 ATP + 2 NADH + 2 H+

In Summary: Energy Yielding Rxns
1. glyceralgehyde 3 phosphate + Pi + NAD+
1,3 diphosphoglycerate + NADH
•
NADH will be used to make more ATP in
mitochondria
2. 1,3 diphosphoglycerate + ADP 3
phosphoglycerate + ATP
3. Phosphoenolpyruvate + ADP Pyruvate
+ ATP
Net products from Glycolysis

Fates of Pyruvate
Depend on organism and conditions
Yeast
Anaerobic (no oxygen)
Aerobic
Pyruvate decarboxylase
Makes alcohol
Makes acetyl CoA --- energy or fat
Others
Anaerobic
Makes lactate
Sore muscles
Aerobic
Oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate into Acetyl Co A
Acetyl Co A --- energy or fat
The Krebs Cycle (aka TCA cycle)
Pyruvate enters mitochondria and is
converted to acetyl CoA (by acetyl coenzyme
A)
Note: Major amounts of acetyl CoA are also
produced by the oxidation of fatty acids
Acetyl CoA is completely degraded to CO2
and H2O
Metabolism is dominated by the Kreb’s cycle
