cellular respiration
EXTRACT ENERGY

in the cells of plants and animals, high energy bonds of food molecules are broken down... releasing energy
glycolysis
splitting of sugar and it is the first step that all organisms on the planet take in breaking down food molecules
3 steps in breaking down food
glycolysis , the krebs cycle and the elctron transport chain
pyruvate
glucose broken down, turning intoo two molecules
2 phases of glycolysis
up hill prep phase and downhill payoff phase
where does glycolysis take place
in the cell cytoplasm
how is the energy created from breaking chemical bonds in food molecules used
to produce high energy molecules=> ATP and NADH
shere do the pyruvate molecules go after glycolysis
they move from the cytoplasm to the mitochondria
step 1 of acetyl coA production
each pyruvate molecule passes a high energy electron and proton to the electron carrier molecule NAD+= 2 NADH molecules
step 2 of acetyl coa production
2 pyruvate molecules each - a carbon atom and two oxygen atoms and released as co2=> diffuse out of the cell and eventually out of organism ( in humans they are released when we exhale)
step 3 of acetyl coa production
coenzyme A attatches itself to remains of each pyruvate molecule producing two molecules called acetyl coa... each of those goes into krebs cycle
step 1 of the krebs cycle
an acetyl-coa molecule enters the cucle and binds to oxaloacetate, creating a six carbon molecule
step 2 of krebs cycle
high energy electron carriers are made and carbon dioxide is exhaled
six carbon molecule donates electrons to NAD+, creating NADH
two carbon molecules are released into the atmosphere
step 3 of krebs cycle
oxaloacetate is reformed, ATP is generated, and more high energy electron carriers are formed

remaining 4 carbon molecule is rearranged to form oxaloacetate, ATP is formed and electron sare passed to NADH and FADH2
glycolysis
the six carbon starting point
glucose is broken down into two molecules of pyruvate
no carbons are removed
preparation for the krebs cycle
two carbons are released
two pyruvate molecules are modified to enter the krebs cycle and they each lose a carbon atom tin the form of the two molecules of carbon dioxide
krebs cycle
last four carbons are released a total of four carbon atoms enter the krebs cycle in the form of acetyl -coA for each turn of the krebs cycle, two molecules of carbon dioxide are released. so the two final carbons are released into the atmosphere
what happens to any additional energy used in glycolysis
pyruvate is chemically modified, then in krebs cycle modified pyruvate broken down=> release co2 into the atmosphere, and captures some of the released energy in two atp molecules
elements of the electron transport chain
during each step in sequence of electron transport chain each electron looses a little bit of energy
what happens at the end of the electron transport chain
low energy electron sare handed off to oxygen, which then combines with free H+ ions to form water
step 1. cellular respiration
1. glucose breaks into 2 pyruvate molecules yield ATP
where in the cell does cellular respiration take place
mitochondria
step 2 cellular respiration
acetyl co-A is created as pyruvate breaks down and yields co2 adn then coenzyme A attatches itself to the remaining pyruvate
step 3. krebs cycle
acetyl co-A goes into the krebs cycle binds with oxaloacetate=> six carbon molecule+ NAD+= NADH=> 2 co2 molecules into the atmosphere = which means 6 turns into 4 molecule carbon TOTAL YIELD= NADH, FADH2 AND ATP
step four electron transport chain
electrons bind with oxygen to create water and atp
fermentation
process by which cell respiration occurs in the absence of oxygen
oxygen deficiency limits breakdown of ____ because _________________ chain requires oxygen as the final acceptor of ___________ during chemical reactions of glycolysis and krebs cycle
fuel; electron transport; electrons
2 features of DNA
1 DNA are passed down from parent to offspring
2 instructions on how to create a body and control its growth, development, and behavior are encoded in dna molecule
nucleotides
what do they contain
individual units in DNA and have 3 components a molecule of sugar, phosphate group , and a nitrogen containing molecule- base
DNA is a ______________ a macromolecule that stores info. consists of individual units called___________ ... consists of a sugar, phosphate group and nitrogen containing base
nucleic acid; nucleotides
