Organisms are classified based on |
the kind of energy they use. |
|
Autotrophs |
Use the energy from sunlight to make organic molecules (sugar) Use the energy in the organic molecules to make ATP |
|
Heterotrophs |
Obtain organic molecules by eating the autotrophs Use the energy in the organic molecules to make ATP |
|
All organisms use cellular respiration to |
harvest the energy from organic molecules and use it to make ATP |
|
How is ATP made? |
Oxygen is used to oxidize glucose Glucose is oxidized to form carbon dioxide. Oxygen is reduced to form water.
|
|
Glycolsis |
The breakdown of glucose into pyruvic acid Two ATP molecules are used to energize glucose. As glucose is metabolized, enough energy is released to |
|
How many ATPs are made and used during Glycolsis? What is the net amount? |
4 ATP made - 2 ATP used = net production of 2 ATP |
|
Kreb's cycle |
The breakdown of pyruvic acid Released as carbon dioxide |
|
Enough energy is released as one pyruvic acid molecule is metabolized to
|
Make 1 ATP Reduce 4 NAD+ to form 4 NADH Reduce 1 FAD to form 1 FADH2. |
|
Where does the Kreb's cycle occur? |
the mitochondrial matrix |
|
__________ is the final electron acceptor at the end of the ETC. __________ accepts the electrons, combines with protons, and becomes water. |
Oxygen |
|
Total yield of glycolsis |
2 ATP 2 NADH (converted to 2 FADH2) |
|
Total yield of the Kreb's cycle |
2 ATP 8 NADH 2 FADH2 |
|
Aerobic Respiration
|
Very similar to aerobic respiration in eukaryotes Since prokaryotes have no mitochondria, it all occurs in the cytoplasm. Makes 2 more ATP because the NADH from glycolysis isn’t converted to FADH2 |
|
Anaerobic Cellular Respiration
|
Metabolizing glucose in the absence of oxygen Some organisms can metabolize glucose in the absence of oxygen. Involves the incomplete oxidation of glucose |
|
Fermentation |
an anaerobic pathway that uses an organic molecule as the final electron acceptor. |
|
Carbohydrates, fats, and proteins can all be used for |
energy |
|
Glycolysis and the Kreb’s cycle allow carbohydrates, fats, and proteins to be _______ |
interchanged |
|
If more calories are consumed than used
|
The remainder will be converted to and stored as fat. |
