Cellular Respiration Have you ever wondered why exactly you need to breathe? What happens when you stop breathing?

Cellular respiration is the set of the metabolic reactions and processes that take place

Cellular respiration is the set of the metabolic reactions and processes that take place in the cells of organisms to convert biochemical energy from nutrients into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and then release waste products.

 C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6 O 2 -->6 CO 2

C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6 O 2 -->6 CO 2 + 6 H 2 O + 36 ATP

Respiration occurs in the presence of oxgen - AEROBIC Without oxygen, another path is taken . . this path is called fermentation, or anaerobic respiration

There are three stages 1. Glycolysis 2. Kreb's Cycle (Citric Acid Cycle) 3. Electron

There are three stages 1. Glycolysis 2. Kreb's Cycle (Citric Acid Cycle) 3. Electron Transport Chain

1. Glycolysis: converts a molecule of glucose into two molecules of pyruvic acid (a 3 -carbon molecule) - PGAL

 an anaerobic process - proceeds whether or not O 2 is present ;

an anaerobic process - proceeds whether or not O 2 is present ; O 2 is not required net yield of 2 ATP per glucose molecule net yield of 2 NADH per glucose molecule

2. Citric Acid or Krebs Cycle If there is no oxygen, fermentation occurs a)

2. Citric Acid or Krebs Cycle If there is no oxygen, fermentation occurs a) occurs in the inner mitochondrial matrix b) an aerobic process; will proceed only in the presence of O 2

c) net yield of 2 ATP per glucose molecule d) net yield of 6

c) net yield of 2 ATP per glucose molecule d) net yield of 6 NADH and 2 FADH 2 (FAD serves the same purpose as NAD) e) in this stage of cellular respiration, the oxidation of glucose to CO 2 is completed.

3. Electron Transport System: a) consists of a series of enzymes on the inner

3. Electron Transport System: a) consists of a series of enzymes on the inner mitochondrial membrane b) electrons are released from NADH and from FADH 2 and as they are passed along the series of enzymes, they give up energy which is used to fuel a process called chemiosmosis

c) net yield of 34 ATP per glucose molecule d) 6 H 2 O

c) net yield of 34 ATP per glucose molecule d) 6 H 2 O are formed when the electrons unite with O 2* at the end of electron transport chain. * Note: This is the function of oxygen in living organisms!
