Study Notes
Cellular Respiration Overview
- Cellular respiration consists of three main phases: Glycolysis, Krebs Cycle, and Electron Transport Chain.
Glycolysis
- Occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell.
- Total of 4 ATP produced; net gain is 2 ATP after accounting for energy investment.
- Involves input of glucose, 2 ATP, and NAD+.
- Outputs include 2 pyruvate, 4 ATP, and 2 NADH.
- Releases some energy as heat.
Krebs Cycle
- Takes place in the mitochondrial matrix.
- Consumes 2 acetyl CoA as input.
- Outputs consist of 6 NADH, 2 FADH2, 2 ATP, and 4 CO2.
- CO2 is produced during this phase.
Electron Transport Chain
- Located in the inner membrane of the mitochondria.
- Inputs include 10 NADH, 2 FADH2, and O2.
- Generates 32-34 ATP and produces water (H2O) as a byproduct.
- Oxygen serves as a substrate in this phase.
Energy Carriers
- NAD+ and FAD are hydrogen and electron carriers.
- They transport H+ and electrons to the Electron Transport Chain, transforming into NADH and FADH2 during Glycolysis and the Krebs Cycle.
Intermediate Stage
- Located within the mitochondrion.
- Begins with 2 pyruvate, resulting in 2 CO2, 2 NADH, and 2 acetyl CoA.
Key Equations
- Overall equation of cellular respiration: C6H12O6 + O2 → CO2 + H2O.
- Aerobic vs. Anaerobic Cellular Respiration is determined by the presence or absence of oxygen.
Enzyme Presence
- Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm due to the presence of necessary enzymes.
- The Krebs Cycle is facilitated by enzymes located in the mitochondrial matrix.
- The Electron Transport Chain operates because needed enzymes are found in the inner mitochondrial membrane.
