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
in Prokaryotes


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.
