Chapter 7 pgs 131-147
Food to energy
• Autotrophs
– “Self-feeders”
– Plants and other organisms that make all their
own organic matter from inorganic nutrients
• Heterotrophs
– “Other-feeders”
– Humans and other animals that cannot make
organic molecules from inorganic ones
Harvesting Chemical Energy
• From photosynthesis
we get carbohydrates
(glucose)
• Cellular respiration:
Breaking down the
carbohydrates
(glucose) to make ATP
and NADH
– NADH is an electron
carrier
• Starts with glycolysis
– Glyco = sugar
– Lysis = breaking
– Breaking down sugars
• Producers
– Biologists refer to
plants and other
autotrophs as the
producers in an
ecosystem
• Consumers
– Heterotrophs are
consumers, because
they eat plants or
other animals

The Relationship Between
Cellular Respiration and
Breathing
• Cellular respiration and breathing are closely
related
– Cellular respiration requires a cell to exchange
gases with its surroundings
– Breathing exchanges these gases between the
blood and outside air
The Overall Equation for
Cellular Respiration
• A common fuel molecule for cellular
respiration is glucose
– This is the overall equation for what happens to
glucose during cellular respiration

The Role of Oxygen in Cellular
Respiration
• During cellular respiration, hydrogen and its
bonding electrons change partners
– Hydrogen and its electrons go from sugar to
oxygen, forming water
Redox Reactions
• Chemical reactions that transfer electrons
from one substance to another are called
oxidation-reduction reactions
– Redox reactions for short
– The loss of electrons during a redox reaction is
called oxidation
– The acceptance of electrons during a redox
reaction is called reduction
– G.E.R. L.E.O.
– O.I.L. R.I.G.

What Carries the Electrons?
NAD+ (nicotinadenine dinucleotide) acts as
the energy carrier
NAD+
It’s
is a coenzyme
Reduced to NADH when it picks up
two electrons and one hydrogen ion

What
happens
next
depends on
whether
there is
oxygen
present or
not.
What happens after Glycolysis?
• Chemicals can take
one of two pathways
– Anaerobic (no oxygen
present) fermentation
• Makes no ATP, but
keeps the cycles going
– Aerobic respiration
• Makes a lot of ATP
EVOLUTION CONNECTION:
LIFE ON AN ANAEROBIC EARTH
• Ancient bacteria probably used glycolysis to
make ATP long before oxygen was present
in Earth’s atmosphere
– Glycolysis is a metabolic heirloom from the
earliest cells that continues to function today in
the harvest of food energy
Fermentation in Human Muscle Cells
• Human muscle cells can make ATP with and
without oxygen
– They have enough ATP to support activities
such as quick sprinting for about 5 seconds
– A secondary supply of energy (creatine
phosphate) can keep muscle cells going for
another 10 seconds
– To keep running, your muscles must generate
ATP by the anaerobic process of fermentation
Fermentation
• If there is no oxygen some cells can
convert pyruvic acid into other compounds
and get some more NAD+
• No ATP is made, but the NAD+ can keep
Glycolysis going to make a little ATP
• 2 kinds of fermentation: Lactic acid
fermentation and Alcoholic
Fermentation
Lactic Acid Fermentation
• Converting pyruvic acid to Lactic
acid
– A.K.A. milk acid
• Bacteria are used to do this to get
cheese, yogurt, and sour cream
• Under heavy exercise you use up
Oxygen faster than you can
replace it
– Lactic Acid builds up and the acidity
causes fatigue, pain and cramps.

Alcoholic Fermentation
• Yeast convert pyruvic acid
into ethyl alcohol
• They break a CO2 off of
pyruvic acid
• The 2 carbon sugar left
behind forms ethyl alcohol

Efficiency of Glycolysis
• Compare the kilocalories of Glucose with
the kilocalories in the ATP that is made.
• The 2 ATP molecules made during
glycolysis receive only 2% of the energy in
glucose
– Where does the rest go?
• It’s still in pyruvic acid
• This small amount of energy is enough for
bacteria, but more complex organisms
need more of glucoses energy.
Objectives
• Define Cellular respiration
• Describe the major events in glycolysis
• Compare and contrast lactic acid
fermentation and alcoholic fermentation
• Calculate the efficiency of glycolysis
Stage 2: The Krebs Cycle
• The Krebs cycle completes the breakdown
of sugar
• Another kind of breakdown
• In the Krebs cycle, pyruvic acid from
glycolysis is first “prepped” into a usable
form, Acetyl-CoA

Figure 6.10
• The Krebs cycle extracts the energy of
sugar by breaking the acetic acid
molecules all the way down to CO2
– The cycle uses some of this energy to make
ATP
– The cycle also forms NADH and FADH2

Electron Transport
Stage 3: Electron Transport
• Electron transport releases the energy your
cells need to make the most of their ATP
• The molecules of electron transport chains
are built into the inner membranes of
mitochondria
– The chain functions as a chemical machine that
uses energy released by the “fall” of electrons to
pump hydrogen ions across the inner
mitochondrial membrane
– These ions store potential energy
