Cellular Respiration: Aerobic Respiration
What are we doing? Cellular Respiration
What’s the first step called? Glycolysis
Who does it? All cells
Where? In the cytoplasm
What do we start with? Glucose!
What are we going to do? Break it in half
And we reduce some NAD and make some ATP ~ two!
Oh, we have plenty of oxygen, what are we going to do? Aerobic Respiration
What is the next step called? Transition, Prep!
Here we go (exhaling to represent CO2)…and we reduce some NAD
Two acetylCoA’s put one away
2 + 4 make six
Do the bit (reduce an NAD, pull off a CO2)
Make 5
Do the bit
Make 4
Make an ATP
Reduce and FAD
Reduce an NAD
And…
(repeat to represent two turns of the Citric Acid/Kreb’s Cycle)
Gather all your reduced NADs and FADs and take them to the top of your ETC ~ uh, uh
A-na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Fp, Q, cytachroma a
And you make some ATP, a lot of it, a lot of it, a lot of it, or… a lot of it, a lot of it
Who catches it at the bottom? Oxygen forming water
Cellular Respiration: Anaerobic Respiration
What are we doing? Cellular Respiration
What’s the first step called? Glycolysis
Who does it? All cells
Where? In the cytoplasm
What do we start with? Glucose!
What are we going to do? Break it in half
And we reduce some NAD and make some ATP ~ two!
Oh no, we don’t have any oxygen, what are we going to do? Fermentation!
How many choices do we have? Two!
You and I make lactic acid, makes our muscles sore
Plants and yeast make…(exhale)..alcohol
Either way, you oxidize your NAD
Photosynthesis
Light Dependent Reaction
Water, water, water, water, water (clap)
What are we going to do? Break it in half
What do we get? Oxygen and electrons (hands in peace sign)
Sweep, sweep!
Here comes the sun, traveling in waves, particles of light are called photons
And it gets the electrons excited!
A, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
pQ
and we make some ATP
Here comes the sun, traveling in waves, particles of light are called photons
And it gets the electrons excited!
A, na, na, na, na, na,
Who catches it? NADP forming reduced NADP
Then you, take some ATP and some reduced NADP to the Dark Reaction
or the Calvin Cycle or the Light-Independent Reaction
Light Independent Reaction
3C5 plus 3C1 makes 3C6
Break down to 6C3
Low
Use some ATP
Use some reduced NADP
On your 6C3
Take one away, PGAL!
Jazz hands
And your left with 5C3
Low
Use some ATP to build 3C5
Repeat, but when you take one away you say “glucose”
