Study Notes
Stages of Cellular Respiration
- Glycolysis: Occurs in the cytoplasm, breaks glucose into pyruvate, producing a net gain of 2 ATP and 2 NADH.
- Krebs Cycle (Citric Acid Cycle): Takes place in the mitochondria, oxidizes pyruvate to CO2, generates 2 ATP, multiple NADH, and FADH2.
- Electron Transport Chain: Located in the inner mitochondrial membrane, uses NADH and FADH2 to produce about 28-34 ATP through oxidative phosphorylation.
Molecules Produced in Cellular Respiration
- ATP: Primary energy currency of the cell, used for various cellular processes.
- NADH and FADH2: Electron carriers that transport high-energy electrons to the electron transport chain.
- CO2: A waste product generated during the Krebs cycle, expelled during respiration.
Location of Each Step of Cellular Respiration
- Glycolysis: Takes place in the cytoplasm of the eukaryotic cell.
- Krebs Cycle: Occurs in the mitochondrial matrix.
- Electron Transport Chain: Found in the inner mitochondrial membrane.
Types of Respiration and Their Conditions
- Aerobic Respiration: Requires oxygen; takes place in most eukaryotic organisms, significantly more ATP is produced.
- Anaerobic Respiration: Occurs without oxygen; results in less ATP and produces byproducts such as lactic acid or ethanol.
Enzymes and Their Functions in Cellular Respiration
- Hexokinase: Catalyzes the phosphorylation of glucose to glucose-6-phosphate during glycolysis.
- Aconitase: Transforms citrate into isocitrate in the Krebs cycle.
- Succinate Dehydrogenase: Converts succinate into fumarate, reduces FAD to FADH2 in the Krebs cycle.
- ATP Synthase: Uses the proton gradient from the electron transport chain to synthesize ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate.
