Obtain Energy From
“Food?”

36 ATP
energy!
A) Aerobic respiration - the
process that releases energy
(ATP) by breaking down
glucose, in the presence of
oxygen
occurs at rest, or . . .
when you are bringing it!
• occurs along the cristae of the
mitochondria
• two stages:
Kreb’s cycle
electron transport chain
Cellular Respiration
Starts with . . .
B) Anaerobic respiration produces ATP by breaking
down glucose without oxygen
lactic acid fermentation (e.g. sore
muscles, yogurt, cheese, pickles,
kimchi)
Energy Tally
• Anaerobic = 2 ATP

III. What Are the
Stages in the Life of a
Cell?
Cell Cycle
G1 cell growth
S DNA replicates
G2 preparation for cell division
A Typical Cell
cell membrane
nucleus
(w/ nuclear membrane)
DNA
(genetic instructions)
during G1
DNA is in chromatin
form (“loose” threads)
before cell division
before cell division
DNA is replicated and
forms chromosomes
Cell Cycle
Starts here
Cell Cycle
Cell division
• 4 Stages of Mitosis (chromosomes
separate)
•Prophase
•Metaphase
•Anaphase
•Telophase
• Cytokinesis (cell splits)
Stages of Mitosis
cytokinesis
telophase
early
prophase
late
prophase
anaphase
metaphase
Where should you look in an
organism to find mitosis?
