Cellular Respiration • • Who? All eukaryotic cells Purpose? Convert food (such as glucose) into ATP 1 glucose = 36 ATP Exothermic reaction: reaction that releases heat
Step 1: Glycolysis Mitochondria Glucose C C C Enzyme PC A ATTP C C C 6 H 12 O 6 C C C • Where? In cytoplasm • What happens? A) Glucose (from our food) is broken down B) 2 ATP molecules released for use by the cell C) Broken pieces of glucose enter mitochondria
Step 2: Kreb’s Cycle ATP Mitochondria ATP Enzyme CO 2 C ATP CO 2 C Energy molecule CO 2 C ATP CO 2 C Enzyme • Where? Inner mitochondria layer • What happens? A) Enzymes break apart the glucose fragments B) 2 ATP & CO 2 created C) Energy molecules sent to fluid interior of mitochondria
Step 3: Electron Transport Chain ATP O 2 ATP Enzyme Mitochondria P ADP O 2 Energy molecule A PP TTP AAT P ADP O 2 P P ADP O 2 • Where? Interior mitochondria fluid • What happens? A) Mitochondria takes in oxygen (aerobic) B) Enzymes + Energy molecule + O 2 bonds ADP + P to create…. 32 total ATP’s O 2
