Study Notes
Cellular Respiration Overview
- Cellular respiration consists of multiple stages: glycolysis, Krebs cycle, and electron transport.
- Fermentation is not a stage of cellular respiration.
Sequence of Events
- The correct order of processes in cellular respiration is glycolysis, followed by the Krebs cycle, and then electron transport.
Energy Production
- Energy is released during the Krebs cycle.
- A molecule of glucose can yield a maximum of 38 ATP molecules through cellular respiration.
Chemical Equation
- The equation for cellular respiration is:
C6H12O6 + 6 O2 → energy + 6 CO2 + 6 H2O.
Glucose Breakdown
- Cellular respiration breaks down food molecules to release energy.
- Glucose cannot directly enter mitochondria; it is first converted into pyruvic acid.
Products of Cellular Respiration
- Water is a product of cellular respiration, while oxygen, glucose, and carbon dioxide are not products.
Glycolysis Details
- Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm and provides a net gain of 2 ATP molecules.
- The starting molecule for glycolysis is glucose, which requires an energy input to begin.
Glycolysis Products
- Products of glycolysis include NADH and pyruvic acid, but glucose is not a product after the reaction.
Types of Fermentation
- Lactic acid fermentation occurs in muscle cells and is accompanied by the regeneration of NAD+ to allow glycolysis to continue.
Aerobic Process
- Cellular respiration is classified as an aerobic process because it requires oxygen.
Krebs Cycle Initiation
- Acetyl-CoA is the starting molecule for the Krebs cycle, which takes place after glycolysis.
ATP Utilization
- The first few seconds of intense exercise utilize ATP stored in cells.
- Glycolysis converts glucose into two molecules of pyruvic acid.
Electron Transport Chain
- Electrons carried by NADH along the electron transport chain can produce up to 6 ATP molecules.
Krebs Cycle Characteristics
- Oxaloacetic acid is a 4-carbon molecule involved in the Krebs cycle.
- Two CO2 molecules are released in the preparatory phase of the Krebs cycle across two cycles.
- The Krebs cycle cannot proceed if fermentation is occurring.
Oxygen Debt
- Breathing heavily post-exercise is the body's mechanism for repaying oxygen debt.
Main Types of Fermentation
- The two primary forms of fermentation are alcoholic fermentation and lactic acid fermentation.
Electron Carriers
- The Krebs cycle produces electron carriers which are crucial for the electron transport chain.
Recap on NAD+ Regeneration
- During lactic acid fermentation, NAD+ is regenerated, enabling glycolysis to continue producing ATP.
