Study Notes

Cellular Respiration

Photosynthesis: carbon dioxide + water + solar energy = glucose + oxygen + water

ATP

Adenosine triphosphate
Consists of 3 phosphate groups, a ribose sugar, and an adenine molecule (nitrogen base - purine)
A form of energy used by all cells
Created through cellular respiration

Aerobic Cellular Respiration

Produces large amounts of ATP (energy)
glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water + 36 ATP molecules
Occurs in several stages
- Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm
  - First stage, does require oxygen
  - Glucose splits into two pyruvic acids (pyruvates)
- The next stage occurs in the mitochondria
  - 2 pyruvates + oxygen → carbon dioxide + ATP
  - Inner mitochondrial membrane folding increases surface area for aerobic cellular respiration.
  - Cells that require more energy (example: muscle cells) have more mitochondria

Anaerobic Respiration

Ethanol fermentation
glucose → ethanol + carbon dioxide + 2 ATP
Occurs within the cytosol
Occurs in single-celled organisms (e.g., yeast, bacteria)
Used in the production of bread, wine, beer, and soy products
