Transcript Cellular Respiration

INTRODUCTION TO CELLULAR
RESPIRATION
• Need Energy for work
• ATP = usable energy
• Cells make ATP by breaking down sugar
– Aerobic cell respiration – uses oxygen
– Anaerobic cell respiration – no oxygen
– Facultative Anaerobe – can use oxygen or not

Breathing supplies oxygen to our cells and removes
carbon dioxide
• Breathing and cellular respiration are closely
related

Cellular respiration banks energy in ATP molecules
• Breakdown sugar to get electrons to use energy
to make ATP

BASIC MECHANISMS OF ENERGY RELEASE
AND STORAGE
Cells tap energy from electrons transferred from
organic fuels to oxygen
• LEO / GER
• Oxidation: Lose Electrons
Loss of hydrogen atoms
• Reduction:
Gain Electrons
Energy
Glucose
Gain of hydrogen atoms

Electron Transfer
• Sugar has electrons
• Break down sugar to get electrons (sugar gets
oxidized)
• NAD+ gains electrons (becomes oxidized) 
NADH [also FAD + electrons  FADH2]
• Eventually NADH gives electrons to oxygen,
and in process make ATP and water

STAGES OF CELLULAR RESPIRATION AND
FERMENTATION
Overview: Respiration occurs in three main stages
• Cellular respiration oxidizes sugar and
produces ATP in three main stages
– 1. Glycolysis ( cytoplasm )
– 2. Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Complex PDC
(matrix)
– 3. Krebs Cycle (matrix)
– 4. Electron Transport Chain (cristae)

Pyruvic
acid
Pyruvic acid is chemically groomed for the Krebs
cycle
• Each pyruvic acid molecule is broken down to
form CO2 and a two-carbon acetyl group, which
enters the Krebs cycle

The Krebs cycle completes the oxidation of organic
fuel, generating many NADH and FADH2
molecules

Steps 2 and 3
NADH, ATP, and CO2 are generated
during redox reactions.

Steps 4 and 5
Redox reactions generate FADH2
and NADH.
Chemiosmosis powers most ATP production
• NADH and FADH2 – give electrons to enzymes
in electron transport chain that get passed to
oxygen
• Energy released by the electrons is used to
pump H+ into the space between the
mitochondrial membranes
• chemiosmosis, the H+ ions diffuse back
through the inner membrane through ATP
synthase complexes, which capture the energy
to make ATP

ATP SYNTHASE
Two mechanisms generate ATP
• Cells use the energy
released by “falling”
electrons to pump
H+ ions across a
membrane
– The energy of the
gradient is
harnessed to make
ATP by the process
of chemiosmosis

Review: Each molecule of glucose yields many
molecules of ATP
• For each glucose molecule that enters cellular
respiration, chemiosmosis produces up to 38
ATP molecules

Fermentation is an anaerobic alternative to aerobic
respiration
• Under anaerobic conditions, many kinds of
cells can use glycolysis alone to produce small
amounts of ATP
– But a cell must have a way of replenishing
NAD+

• In alcoholic fermentation, pyruvic acid is
converted to CO2 and ethanol
– This recycles NAD+ to keep glycolysis working
released

• Lactic acid fermentation is used to make cheese
