Study Notes
Cellular Respiration Overview
- The electron transport chain (ETC) generates the highest ATP yield during cellular respiration.
- Oxygen levels dictate whether pyruvate undergoes cellular respiration or fermentation.
Fermentation Process
- Fermentation converts pyruvate into lactate (lactic acid).
- Anaerobic conditions direct pyruvate into fermentation pathways.
- Fermentation primarily occurs in the cytosol of the cell.
Glycolysis and ATP Production
- Glycolysis is responsible for most ATP generation within the fermentation pathway.
- Glucose is not a product of glycolysis; it is the substrate that gets broken down.
- During glycolysis, key molecules produced include NADH and ATP.
Role of Molecules in Cellular Respiration
- NADH and pyruvate are crucial in carrying electrons to the electron transport chain from the citric acid cycle.
- Energy in sugar molecules is stored within high-energy electrons in molecular bonds.
Electron Transport Chain
- Electrons carriers transfer energy removed from sugar molecules to the ETC.
- The ETC releases energy in a controlled manner during cellular respiration.
- The mitochondrial inner membrane hosts the electron transport chain.
Aerobic Respiration Details
- In aerobic respiration, glucose (C6H12O6) is oxidized, resulting in carbon dioxide (CO2).
- Oxygen (O2) is reduced during aerobic respiration, serving as the final electron acceptor.
- The citric acid cycle incorporates oxaloacetate as a reactant.
- Chemiosmosis, a stage of aerobic respiration, is responsible for most ATP production.
