Cellular Respiration Chapter 9
Cellular Respiration • Process by which mitochondria break down food molecules to make ATP • C 6 H 12 O 6 + O 2 CO 2 + H 2 O + Energy • Three Stages: – Glycolysis – Citric Acid Cycle (Krebs Cycle) – Electron Transport Chain
Anaerobic vs. Aerobic Anaerobic • Without oxygen • Glycolysis, Fermentation • Obligate Anaerobe – Cannot survive in the presence of oxygen – Tetanus • Facultative Anaerobe – Can use oxygen, but can survive in its absence – Yeast Aerobic • Uses Oxygen • Krebs and e- transport chain • Produces a lot more energy
Glycolysis • Occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell • Breaks down glucose ( 6 -Carbon) into 2 pyruvic acid (3 -Carbon) • Makes 4 ATP, but uses 2 ATP = 2 ATP • NAD+ accepts electrons to become NADH – Those e- move to the e- transport chain Summary: Glycolysis makes 2 ATP, NADH, and 2 pyruvic acid.
Citric Acid Cycle • Begins after pyruvic acid is transformed into acetyl-Co. A (this rxn also makes NADH) • Occurs in the matrix of the mitochondria • For every turn of the cycle the following are made: – 1 ATP – 2 CO 2 – 3 NADH – 1 FADH 2 • This cycle happens twice for each glucose
Electron Transport Chain • Located in the inner membrane of the mitochondria • Similar to the e- transport chain in photosynthesis • NADH and FADH 2 supply the energized e • ATP is produced and H+ is pumped into the matrix of the mitochondria • As the ATP moves out of the mitochondria more ATP is made • Oxygen is the final e- acceptor at the end of the chain – results in the formation of water • Makes 32 ATP

The 36 ATP produced in cellular respiration represent only about 38% of the energy stored in the sugar – the rest of the energy is released as heat
What if no oxygen is available? • Glycolysis will continue, but if NAD+ is not recycled it will stop, too. • Less energy is produced – only 2 ATP • Fermentation – cycles the NAD back to glycolysis, but does not produce energy
Fermentation Lactic Acid Fermentation Alcoholic Fermentation • Makes lactic acid, CO 2, • Makes alcohol, CO 2, and NAD+ • Occurs in muscles when • Yeast and some bacteria an oxygen debt is created
