Study Notes
Cellular Respiration Overview
- Cellular respiration occurs in all eukaryotic cells.
- Its equation includes glucose and oxygen as reactants, producing water, carbon dioxide, and energy.
- The overall process consists of glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain.
Glycolysis
- Glucose is the starting molecule for glycolysis.
- Requires an energy input and produces a net gain of 2 ATP molecules, 2 NADH, and 2 pyruvic acid molecules.
- Takes place in the cytoplasm of the cell.
Krebs Cycle
- Begins with pyruvic acid and releases carbon dioxide.
- Produces electron carriers NADH and FADH2.
- The Krebs cycle is necessary for the electron transport chain to produce a significant amount of ATP.
Electron Transport Chain
- Takes place in mitochondria in eukaryotes and in the inner membrane in prokaryotes.
- Utilizes energy from electrons (NADH and FADH2) to convert ADP into ATP.
- Produces energy by facilitating oxidative phosphorylation.
Fermentation
- Two types: alcoholic fermentation and lactic acid fermentation.
- Lactic acid fermentation occurs in muscle cells, regenerating NAD to allow glycolysis to continue.
- Alcoholic fermentation is utilized in the production of beer and wine.
Energy Production
- Cellular respiration produces a total of 36 ATP molecules from one glucose molecule.
- Muscle cells can switch between cellular respiration and lactic acid fermentation depending on oxygen availability.
- Intense, short-duration exercises utilize stored ATP quickly before switching to aerobic or anaerobic pathways.
Photosynthesis vs. Cellular Respiration
- Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are almost opposite processes: photosynthesis removes CO2, while cellular respiration releases it.
- Photosynthesis occurs in chloroplasts; cellular respiration occurs in mitochondria.
Important Processes
- Oxygen is necessary for aerobic respiration (hence the term "aerobic process").
- After intense exercise, heavy breathing repays an oxygen debt.
- Glycolysis does not release energy directly but enables pathways for aerobic respiration under aerobic conditions.
Key Misconceptions
- Cellular respiration does not involve the direct breakdown of glucose in the presence of carbon dioxide; rather, it involves breaking down food molecules.
- The Krebs cycle does not run if fermentation takes place, indicating anaerobic conditions.
Additional Facts
- NAD acts as an electron carrier in cellular respiration.
- The role of fats can increase significantly during extended aerobic activities, such as swimming for over 30 minutes.
- Both the Krebs cycle and the electron transport chain contribute to ATP synthesis, making them critical for efficient energy production.
