Cellular respiration is releasing energy from glucose and other foods in the presence of

Cellular respiration is releasing energy from glucose and other foods in the presence of oxygen.

Occurs in the mitochondria of both animals and plants.

Cellular Respiration (aerobic) Energy->ATP and heat REACTANTS PRODUCTS

Cellular Respiration (aerobic) Energy->ATP and heat REACTANTS PRODUCTS

Reactants Products • Glucose (C 6 H 12 O 6) Energy (36 ATP) •

Reactants Products • Glucose (C 6 H 12 O 6) Energy (36 ATP) • Oxygen (aerobic) Byproducts… -water -CO 2 (carbon dioxide)

Cellular Respiration • Starts with Glycolysis (process producing ATP molecules) • It then goes

Cellular Respiration • Starts with Glycolysis (process producing ATP molecules) • It then goes in one of two directions depending on whether oxygen is available. • If O 2 is available -> Krebs (Citric Acid) Cycle … Electron transport chain (all aerobic) • If O 2 is NOT available -> Fermentation (anaerobic)

Aerobic: process which requires oxygen

Fast Facts… • Glycolysis (1 st step in respiration) is very fast, can produce

Fast Facts… • Glycolysis (1 st step in respiration) is very fast, can produce thousands of ATP molecules in under a second!

Rigor Mortis • Why do dead vertebrate animals become stiff shortly after death? •

Rigor Mortis • Why do dead vertebrate animals become stiff shortly after death? • Body ceases (stops) doing cellular respiration. No ATP produced. No energy for muscle movement.

Anaerobic respiration (fermentation) • Releasing energy from food by producing ATP w/out oxygen 2

Anaerobic respiration (fermentation) • Releasing energy from food by producing ATP w/out oxygen 2 types of fermentation 1) alcoholic fermentation (plants, bacteria) -produces alcohol and CO 2 2) lactic acid fermentation (animals) -produced in muscles during rapid exercise…

Alcoholic and lactic acid fermentation • Alcoholic fermentation – yeast use this, they run

Alcoholic and lactic acid fermentation • Alcoholic fermentation – yeast use this, they run out of oxygen, give off CO 2 • Lactic acid fermentation- oxygen not being supplied fast enough to muscle cells…ATP can’t be produced as quickly – Thus, muscle cells must produce their own ATP by lactic acid fermentation

Summary… Aerobic Respiration • GLYCOLOSIS -> Kreb’s Cycle -> E. T. C • lots

Summary… Aerobic Respiration • GLYCOLOSIS -> Kreb’s Cycle -> E. T. C • lots of ATP (36 per 1 glucose molecule) • endurance • no harmful effects

Anaerobic respiration (fermentation) • little ATP (2 per glucose molecule) • short bursts of

Anaerobic respiration (fermentation) • little ATP (2 per glucose molecule) • short bursts of energy • lactic acid (animals) or alcohol (other organisms) is also made…both harmful
