RESPIRATION Two Meanings 1 BREATHING OR EXTERNAL RESPIRATION
RESPIRATION Two Meanings: 1. BREATHING OR EXTERNAL RESPIRATION 2. CELLULAR RESPIRATION - Process by which organic compounds are broken down to yield energy for work • This energy molecule is _____
Overall Equation Glucose + Oxygen ---> Carbon Dioxide + Water + Energy or C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6 O 2 ---> 6 CO 2 + 6 H 2 O + (36 -38)ATP
Two main reasons 1. ATP is made that allows cells to carry out all its activities 2. Carbon Dioxide produced is used by autotrophs for Photosynthesis
In all Living cells Prokaryotic cells - in cytoplasm and inner foldings of plasma membrane Eukaryotic cell – cytoplasm and mitochondria
• Sugar (glucose) • Oxygen (not always) • Water
TYPES OF RESPIRATION • Aerobic - with oxygen, releases the most ATP per glucose molecule • Anaerobic - without oxygen, releases the least ATP per glucose molecule
Info About Aerobic Respiration • Oxygen needed • Breakdown of glucose- occurs in cytoplasm • In mitochondria • Krebs cycle - in the matrix • Electron transport chain - in the cristae • 6 carbon dioxide molecules formed • 36 -38 ATP molecules formed
Both Processes start with Glycolysis • Glyco stands for Glucose • Lysis means to Split • What is Glycolysis?
Glycolysis (occurs in the cytoplasm 2 ATP Glucose 2 ADP+P 4 ADP+P 2 PGAL 4 ATP 2 Pyruvate 2 NAD+ 2 NADH
What happens Glycolysis? • Occurs in the cytoplasm of all organisms. • 6 Carbon Glucose splits into 2 molecules each containing 3 carbons (called pyruvate) • Because Glucose is a pretty stable molecule, energy is needed to start this reaction (2 ATP)
What is Glycolysis? • This process generates 4 ATP and 2 NADH • What is the net gain of ATP at the end of this reaction? 2
Krebs Cycle or Citric Acid Cycle • Hans Krebs ( Nobel Prize) • Pyruvate lysed through a series of steps to release all the carbon as Carbon dioxide. • How many carbon dioxide molecules are formed? ______ • What else? • 2 ATP • 6 NADH (+2 in the intermediate)=8 • 2 FADH 2 (similar molecule to NADH)
Let’s Take Inventory! So far (from Glycolysis to Krebs Cycle) We have used 2 ATP We have made 4 ATP in glycolysis We have made 2 ATP in Krebs Cycle Total gain of ATP __4 How many ATP molecules do you need per minute per cell? Is this enough?
From Wikipedia. org/wik/Electron_transport_chain
Electron Transport Chain ��( • Occurs on the mitochondrial inner membrane or cristae • NADH and FADH 2 release their Hydrogen atoms • Hydrogen atoms breaks up into e- and H+ • Electrons travel through the membrane proteins
Electron Transport Chain ��( • Hydrogen accumulate inside the cristae • Concentrations gradient drives the H+ through the ATP Synthase • Energy used to make ATP (32 ATP) • The hydrogen then reacts with the oxygen molecules to make H+ + O 2 --> H 2 O • Some energy lost as heat – useful to keep warm
So How many ATPs are made Glycolysis: Net gain of 2 Krebs Cycle: 2 ETC: 32 -34 Note: Each NADH can make 3 ATP Each FADH 2 can make 2 ATP TOTAL = 36 ATP
Anaerobic Respiration Absence of oxygen Krebs Cycle and ETC cannot function Glycolysis can occur Cell gets 2 ATP per glucose NADH builds up and will eventually stop formation of ATP Survival Tactics? ?
Anaerobic Respiration Alcoholic fermentation Yeast helps bread rise Yeast used to make alcoholic bevs Used to make gasohol Lactic acid fermentation Human muscle contract in low O 2 In Bacteria to make cheese, yogurt, sauerkraut
2 ATP made and NADH recycled Alcoholic fermentation
2 ATP made and NADH recycled Lactic Acid Fermentation
Glucose 2 pyruvate • No oxygen needed (anaerobic) • Many enzymes needed • 4 ATPs needed, 2 ATPS made net gain of 2 ATP • 2 NAD 2 NADH
