Study Notes

Cellular Respiration

  • Cellular respiration is the process cells use to produce energy.
  • Body cells need oxygen for this process, though some organisms (like yeast and bacteria) don't always require it.
  • Respiration occurs both aerobically (using oxygen) and anaerobically (without oxygen).

Aerobic Respiration

  • Involves four pathways that feed sequentially.
  • Results in the complete oxidation of glucose and transferring energy from glucose to ATP.
  • The stages of aerobic cellular respiration are Glycolysis, Krebs Cycle, and Oxidative Phosphorylation.

Stages of Aerobic Cellular Respiration

  • Glycolysis: An anaerobic process.
  • Krebs Cycle: Happens after Glycolysis.
  • Oxidative Phosphorylation: Occurs after Krebs Cycle. NADH and FADH2 carry electrons to specialized cell membranes to generate ATP. Oxygen is used to remove these used electrons, combining with hydrogen to form water.

Aerobic vs. Anaerobic Respiration

  • Aerobic respiration: Requires oxygen, produces a large amount of ATP (36 ATP). Happens in the cytoplasm and mitochondria.
  • Anaerobic respiration (fermentation): Doesn't require oxygen, produces a small amount of ATP (2 ATP). Happens in the cytoplasm. Fermentation products vary (lactic acid in animals, ethanol and CO2 in yeast).

Metabolic Pathways

  • Metabolic pathways are the sum total of all biochemical reactions in an organism.
  • These reactions are useful because they allow for:
    • Storage, transfer, and release of energy as usable amounts.
    • Synthesis and breakdown of important carbon molecules like intermediates and macromolecules.
  • Pathways consist of enzyme-catalyzed steps, involving small energy investments or releases at each step, which allows for control and flexibility in linking to other pathways.
