Situation: the autotrophs have produced

sugar and oxygen.

Energy

6CO2 + 6H2O  C6H12O6 + 6O2

Now – how do we RELEASE the energy


in that sugar?
 Need to turn the sugar into ATP

 ATP is the cell’s energy molecule


What Does ATP Do for
You?
It supplies YOU with ENERGY!
How Do We Get Energy From
ATP?

By breaking the last P – P bond

Adenine P P P

Adenine P P P
How Does That Happen?

An Enzyme!
When is ATP Made in the
Body?
• During cellular respiration

• both plants & animals do it!


Cellular Respiration:
releasing the energy in food as ATP
Question:
 In what kinds organisms does cellular
respiration take place?
Cellular Respiration is the
reverse of photosynthesis

ATP

C6H12O6 + 6O2 6CO2 + 6H2O+ energy


What are the Stages of
Cellular Respiration?
In cytoplasm
1. Glycolysis (sugar is split)

In mitochondria:
2. The Krebs Cycle (citric acid cycle)
3. The Electron Transport Chain
ETC
Krebs Cycle
Glycolysis
Look at textbook pp 222 - 228
Step 1: Glycolysis

Glucose 2 pyruvic acid

C-C-C-C-C-C C-C-C + C-C-C

ml
Mitochondria
 Organelle where cellular respiration takes
place.
Step 2: Kreb’s Cycle

C-C-C CO2 & a whole bunch of NADHs

Electron Transport Chain
 High energy electrons used to
convert ADP to ATP

 http://www.science.smith.edu/depart

Glycolysis CR: 36 NET ATP
O2
C-C-C-C-C-C

Krebs Cycle
C-C-C

CO2 + NADH ATP + H2O

But what happens when there is
no oxygen present?
Only Glycolysis can occur

Fermentation
Occurs when O2 is NOT present
AKA anaerobic respiration

Two types:
Lactic Acid fermentation (muscle cells)
Alcoholic fermentation (yeast)

Nets only 2 ATP (instead of 36)


Lactic Acid Fermentation
 Animals (pain in muscle after workout)

Aerobic or Anaerobic Respiration
Question:
 Glucose (carbohydrate) is the main
source of food for making ATP from
cellular respiration.

 What other food molecules can be used


in Cellular Respiration?
Other organic molecules used for fuel:

1. Carbohydrates: polysaccharides
2. Fats: glycerols and fatty acids
3. Proteins: amino acids
