Cellular Respiration
Ms. LowrieBiology 11
Energy Transformation
Chemical energy in food converted into energy that cells can use Glucose to ATP
Occurs in plants and animals

Cellular Respiration & Breathing
Breathing Exchanges these
gases between blood and outside air
Cellular respiration Requires cells to
exchange gases with surroundings
Remember …
Why does energy need to be transferred from glucose to ATP?
Glucose has TOO much energy Therefore, unusable
ATP – usable energy for cell

Three Steps
1. Glycolysis Occurs in cytoplasm
2. Kreb’s cycle3. Electron transport
system
Can occur with oxygen (aerobic) or without oxygen (anaerobic)
Occurs in mitochondria

GlycolysisKrebsCycle
ElectronTransport
Step 1 – Glycolysis
Location: Cytoplasm
Does NOT require oxygen Anaerobic phase
Plants -> Bacteria -> Humans!
Glycolysis
Glucose is broken down into 2 PGAL Uses 2 ATP molecules
Each PGAL is converted into pyruvate
a.k.a. pyruvic acid

Glycolysis – Glucose Breakdown
Glycolysis
2 NAD+ (hydrogen carrier) gain hydrogen & electrons Creates 2 NADH
4 ATP are produced 2 ATP replace those used to initiate Net gain of 2 ATP molecules

Kreb’s Cycle & Electron Transport System
Location: Mitochondria
DO require oxygen Aerobic
Step 2 – Kreb’s Cycle (Citric Acid Cycle)

Coenzyme A
Acetyl-CoA(acetyl-coenzyme A)
CO2
Pyruvate changed into usable form Acetyl coenzyme A (coA)
Kreb’s Cycle
Acetyl-coA goes through a series of reactions with water Uses water from atmosphere
Then enters Kreb’s Cycle Glucose (C6H12O6) finishes breaking
down
Carbon & Oxygen create CO2
Which is released to atmosphere
Hydrogen & electrons Picked up by NAD+ or FAD (hydrogen
receptors) to form NADH or FADH2
Net gain is 2 ATP 1 from each pyruvate

Step 3 – Electron Transport System
Uses hydrogen from NADH & FADH2
Hydrogen (and its electrons) are passed down a “stairway” of reactions Energy is released with each step
Oxygen = final hydrogen electron acceptor “Catches” hydrogen Combines with two hydrogen Forms water
Net gain is 34 ATP

Use notes & pages 62 & 63
Answer: #3, 4
(page 64)
#3 – Electron Transport System
Series of hydrogen (electron) acceptors As hydrogen moves, energy is released
What if energy from glucose was released all at once? Too quick Cause cell damage
#4 – Energy in Electron Transport
Results in: 34 ATP Water
