►
ATP stores the energy in the third bond of the molecule
►
The energy is released when that bond is broken to release the third inorganic phosphate.

(aerobic resp.)

Aerobic respiration = respiration with oxygen

Aerobic respiration happens in 3 stages:
Stage 1 – Glycolysis glyco lysis glucose splitting
2 ATP needed to start reaction, 4
ATP are produced thus the net gain is
2 ATP from glycolysis.

In glycolysis, a glucose molecule is broken down into two molecules of pyruvic acid.
glucose energy released to make small quantity of ATP
(2 molecules) series of enzyme controlled reactions pyruvic acid
Glycolysis does not require oxygen

In both eukaryotes and prokaryotes, this process occurs in the cytosol of the cell.
The cytosol is the portion of the cytoplasm not contained within membrane-bound organelles. Cytosol makes up about 70% of the cell volume and is composed of water, salts and organic molecules.

Breakdown of Pyruvic acid
The pyruvic acid made in glycolysis
(stage1) still contains a lot of energy
It can only be broken down to release the rest of the energy in the presence of oxygen .

►
Pyruvic acid molecules then move into the mitochondria to begin the next stage of cellular respiration: the Krebs Cycle.
►
During the Krebs Cycle, pyruvic acid is broken down into carbon dioxide in a series of energy-extracting reactions.
►
Citric Acid is created in this cycle thus giving it the nickname Citric Acid cycle.
►
Net ATP Production is 2 ATP from the
Krebs Cycle.

Krebs cycle takes place in the matrix.

►
The enzyme involved in this stage is referred to as acetyl-CoA
►
The citric acid is broken down into a 5carbon compound, then into a 4-carbon compound. Energy is being released along the way.
►
Electron carriers in the form of NADH and
FADH2 are produced, which transport energized electrons along the electron transport chain in the mitochondria.

►
The electron transport chain uses the highenergy electrons from the Krebs Cycle to convert ADP to ATP.
►
Same idea as in photosynthesis: energized electrons from Citric Acid Cycle are passed from protein to protein, losing energy as they go.
►
The energy is used to make ATP.

►
Takes place in the mitochondria in the cristae or inner membrane.
►
Requires oxygen to assist in passing the electrons from protein to protein.
►
Water is formed.
►
Net ATP Gain: 32 ATP from the electron transport chain.

►
Oxygen serves as the final electron acceptor of the electron transport chain. Therefore, oxygen is essential for getting rid of low-energy electrons and hydrogen ions, the wastes of cellular respiration.

►
Total process (Glycolysis, Citric Acid Cycle, and Electron Transport Chain) produces 36
ATPs.
►
All of this is from 1 molecule of glucose!
►
This happens in 1 mitochondrion (liver cells may have 2500 mitochondria each!)
►
Cells and organisms require a HUGE amount of energy!!

In low oxygen conditions or during heavy exercise, when not enough oxygen can be supplied, muscle cells swap to anaerobic respiration

►
Glycolysis still takes place but is followed by this type of fermentation.
►
Fermentation: releases energy from food molecules in the absence of oxygen

glycolysis still happens as it does not require oxygen glucose pyruvic acid in absence of oxygen pyruvic acid is turned into lactic acid.
lactic acid
2 ADP + 2 Pi
2 ATP

A build up of lactic acid produces muscle
fatigue.
Muscle fatigue makes muscles ache and contract less powerfully.
A recovery period is needed. During this time more oxygen is taken in to convert the lactic acid back into pyruvic acid again.
2 ATP’s are produced.

glucose oxygen debt e.g. during hard exercise pyruvic acid oxygen debt repaid during recovery time lactic acid

The same process occurs in plants and yeast in low oxygen conditions, e.g. muddy, flooded soils.

►
Used most commonly by yeast.
►
CO
2
+ ethyl alcohol are produced from 2 pyruvic acids.
►
2 ATPs are produced
►
These processes (fermentation) are not ideal, because they are not as efficient at producing energy, and so they occur in lower organisms, or under distress.

glucose glycolysis still happens, producing
2 ATP molecules
2 ADP + 2 Pi
2 ATP
This time in absence of oxygen, pyruvic acid is turned into carbon dioxide and ethanol pyruvic acid
This is irreversible ethanol + carbon dioxide

►
Quick energy – Lactic Acid fermentation is used to get quick energy and gives off lactic acid as a by product, thus the muscle pain.
►
Long-Term Energy – Use cellular respiration to produce energy. Exercising or activities that last for at least 15 to 20 minutes. Best form for weight control.
