Study Notes
Cellular Respiration: An Overview
- Organisms get energy from food
- Autotrophs create glucose using photosynthesis.
- Heterotrophs obtain glucose from consuming food.
- Cellular respiration breaks down glucose and other food molecules to release energy.
- There are two types: aerobic (using oxygen) and anaerobic (without oxygen)
- Energy in food is released slowly to avoid significant heat loss (like a marshmallow burning).
- Cellular respiration is the process that releases energy from food (like glucose) when oxygen is present.
- 6O2 + C6H12O6 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + Energy
- Cellular respiration takes place in stages: glycolysis, Krebs cycle, and electron transport chain.
Objectives
- Organisms get energy
- Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are related
- Three main stages of cellular respiration
- Where do organisms get energy
Where do we get the energy we need?
- Living things get energy from glucose.
Controlled Release
- The energy stored in food is released slowly; otherwise, most energy would be lost as heat.
Stages of Cellular Respiration
- Glycolysis: Occurs in the cytoplasm, breaking down glucose (no oxygen is needed). Produces energy carrier molecules (2 ATP).
- Krebs Cycle: (Aerobic) Occurs in the mitochondria matrix. Produces energy carrier molecules.
- Electron Transport Chain: (Aerobic) Occurs in mitochondrial inner membrane. Produces significant amount of ATP.
Mitochondria
- The mitochondria is where the final stages of cellular respiration take place
- Cells with high energy needs (e.g., muscle cells in the heart) have many mitochondria.
Glycolysis: Details
- Glycolysis breaks down glucose.
- Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm, not in the mitochondria.
- Glycolysis produces 2 ATP molecules.
Further Details on Glycolysis
- Glucose is broken down.
- 2 ATP are produced.
- Pyruvic acid is formed.
Further Details on Cellular Respiration
- Glycolysis: Anaerobic, in cytoplasm, produces 2 ATP
- Krebs Cycle: Aerobic, in mitochondria, releases CO2
- Electron Transport Chain: Aerobic, in mitochondria inner membrane, produces significant ATP
Fermentation
- Anaerobic respiration occurs in the cytoplasm.
- Plants produce ethanol alcohol
- Animals produce lactic acid
Photosynthesis and Respiration Relationship
- Photosynthesis and cellular respiration have opposite equations — they recycle carbon between living things and the air. Photosynthesis uses CO2 and respiration produces CO2. Photosynthesis releases oxygen and respiration consumes oxygen.
