The key takeaways are that cellular respiration and fermentation are processes by which organisms obtain energy from food. Cellular respiration requires oxygen and takes place in the mitochondria, while fermentation can occur without oxygen.

Organisms obtain energy through the processes of cellular respiration and fermentation. Cellular respiration breaks down glucose and releases energy in the presence of oxygen, while fermentation can release energy without oxygen by breaking down glucose into lactic acid or ethanol.

The three main steps of cellular respiration are glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain. Glycolysis breaks down glucose, the Krebs cycle further breaks down the products of glycolysis, and the electron transport chain generates ATP using oxygen as the final electron acceptor.

PERFORMANCE GOALS
In Chapter 9, students will learn how cellular respiration and fermentation provide
organisms with the energy they need to survive. Students will show this understand-
ing by interpreting multiple, detailed figures. They will also practice their data analysis
skills by collecting and interpreting data on the byproducts of cellular respiration. At
the end of the chapter, students will transfer their knowledge by keeping an exercise
journal and relating the entries to cellular respiration and fermentation.

BEGINNING WITH GLUCOSE
Why do biologists pay so much attention to glucose? It’s because most other food
molecules are broken down to release energy in much the same way. Proteins are
broken down into individual amino acids, which are converted to compounds that
can enter either glycolysis or the Krebs cycle. Carbohydrates are generally broken into Answers

is done for the sake of simplicity. The triphosphate compound actually produced in
the Krebs cycle is GTP (guanosine triphosphate) from GDP—not ATP from ADP. The
amount of energy trapped in GTP is identical to that in ATP. When pools of ATP are
low in the cell, the third phosphate of GTP is efficiently transferred, with the help of
an enzyme, to ADP to produce ATP. This process provides more ATP for the cell to
use and also leaves behind GDP, which can then accept another phosphate in the
Krebs cycle.

EVIDENCE OF UNDERSTANDING Give students this assessment at the end of the
lesson to show they understand how cells react when they need to release energy
from food without oxygen. Ask each student to write a fictional account of a person
running twice around the school’s track at full speed (assume this takes at least
2 minutes). The story should describe how the runner’s body reacts to this strenuous
activity, including the runner’s breathing and what happens within the body’s cells as
they react to the great demand for energy.

Test-Taking Tip
INTERPRET GRAPHS
When answering questions about a line graph, suggest students first take the time
to analyze the graph before reading the questions. Begin by looking at the shape of
the line. Then, identify the variables labeled on each of the graph’s axes. Try to deter-
mine how the variables are related. That is, determine how one variable changes in
response to changes in the other variable. Finally, look again at the line. After analyz-
ing the graph, read and answer the questions that relate to the graph.
