Photosynthesis and cellular respiration equation
The cells release chemical energy from carbohydrates by the process called ________.
CELLULAR RESPIRATION
Cellular respiration includes the __________ of aerobic and anaerobic respiration, which breakdown organic molecules for the production of ATP
catabolic pathways
Catabolic pathways
A metabolic pathway that releases energy by breaking down complex molecules to simpler molecules
Aerobic respiration
Break down of organic molecules in the presence of oxygen
Aerobic respiration
Break down of organic molecules in the presence of oxygen Ex : Eukaryotic cells
Anaerobic respiration
Breakdown of organic molecules in the absence of oxygen. Ex: Some eukaryotic cells(under low oxygen levels),Prokaryotic and protists.
Aerobic respiration and fermentation both begin with _______, which converts one molecule of glucose into two molecules of ______
glycolosis, pyruvate
Fermentation is completed in the ______, yielding _____ per glucose molecule
cytoplasm, 2 ATP
Aerobic respiration is completed in ______, yielding ____ per glucose molecule
mitochondria, 36 ATP
Three stages of aerobic respiration
1. Glycolysis
2. Acetyl-CoA formation and Krebs cycle
3. Electron transfer phosphorylation (ATP formation)
( Coenzymes NADH and FADH2 carry electrons and hydrogen ions to ETP for the production of ATP)
Pyruvate
3 carbon compound formed from glucose in glycolosis
Substrate level phosphorylation
The formation of ATP by an enzyme directly transferring a phosphate group to ADP from an intermediate substrate.
______ are formed by substrate-level phosphorylation (______). 2 ____molecules are produced.
Four ATP, net 2 ATP, NADH
ATP requiring and ATP generating steps
The two stages of second part of aerobic respiration
Occurs in mitochondria
Includes two stages:
Acetyl CoA formation
Krebs cycle (each occurs twice in the breakdown of one glucose molecule)
Process of Acetyle-CoA formation
Two pyruvate formed by glycolysis enter the inner compartment of a mitochondrion
In the inner compartment of the mitochondrion, enzymes split pyruvate, forming acetyl CoA( has a lot of energy and very reactive) and CO2 (which diffuses out of the cell)
2 NADH is formed
Krebs Cycle
A sequence of enzyme-mediated reactions that break down 2 acetyl CoA into 4 CO2
Oxaloacetate is used and regenerated
6 NADH and 2 FADH2 are formed
2 ATP is formed
Reactions happening inside a mitochondrion
Krebs Cycle steps
Steps of electron transfer phosphorylization
Coenzymes NADH and FADH2 donate electrons and H+ to electron transfer chains

Active transport forms a H+ concentration gradient in the outer mitochondrial compartment

H+ follows its gradient through ATP synthase, which attaches a phosphate to ADP

Finally, oxygen accepts electrons and combines with H+, forming water
Electron transfer phosphorylization steps
Oxidative Phosphorylization
The production of ATP using energy derived from the redox reactions of an electron transport chain
Chemiosmosis
An energy coupling mechanism that uses energy stored in the form of hydrogen ion gradient across a membrane to drive cellular work, such as the synthesis of ATP. Most ATP synthesis in cells occurs by chemiosmosis
The summary of energy harvest in aerobic respiration
Typically, the breakdown of one glucose molecule yields 36 – 38 ATPs
Glycolysis: 2 ATPs
Krebs cycle: 2 ATPs
Electron transfer phosphorylation: 32 – 34 ATPs
Summary of aerobic respiration
__________ break down carbohydrates without using oxygen
Fermentation pathways
Fermenters
Anaerobes or Facultative anaerobes(organisms/cells that switch to fermentation in the absence of oxygen)
Aenorobes
Ex: Bacteria and single cell protists that inhabit
Sea sediments
Animal guts
Improperly canned food
Sewage treatment ponds
Deep mud and other anaerobic habitats.
Facultative aenarobes
Yeast and animal muscle cells
Fermentation pathways
Glycolysis is the first stage of fermentation
Forms 2 pyruvate, 2 NADH, and 2 ATP

Pyruvate is converted to other molecules, but is not fully broken down to CO2 and water
Regenerates NAD+ but doesn’t produce ATP

Provides enough energy for some single-celled anaerobic species
Alcoholic fermentation
Pyruvate is split into acetaldehyde and CO2
Acetaldehyde receives electrons and hydrogen from NADH, forming NAD+ and ethanol
Lactate fermentation
Pyruvate receives electrons and hydrogen from NADH, forming NAD+ and lactate
** NAD+ regeneration during both these pathways is crucial to the survival of the organism. When the supply of NAD+ is exhausted, glycolysis would stop, energy production would cease and the organism would almost instantly die
Two pathways of fermentation
________ which moves bones, consists of cells fused as long fibers. The fibers differ in how they make ATP.
Skeletal muscle cells
Slow-twitch muscle fibers (“red” muscles)
make ATP by aerobic respiration
Have many mitochondria
Dominate in prolonged activity
Fast-twitch muscle fibers (“white” muscles)
make ATP by lactate fermentation
Have few mitochondria and no myoglobin
Sustain short bursts of activity
Pathways that break down molecules other than ________ also keep organisms alive
carbohydrates
When blood ____concentration rises, the pancreas increases ______ secretion
glucose, insulin
A few different pathways yield ATP by breaking down carbohydrates, but a typical _______ uses aerobic respiration most of the time.
eukaryotic cell
One way energy flow
Aerobic respiration overview
Many bacteria, archaea, and protists harvest energy from carbohydrates by anaerobic pathways of _____
fermentation
The reactions of glycolysis convert one molecule of glucose to two molecules of ______ for a net yield of two ATP.
pyruvate
An energy investment of ___ is required to start glycolysis.
ATP
The enzyme that catalysis glycolysis
Hexokinase
