Cellular Respiration
|
the process of breaking down carbohydrates (food) to make energy (ATP
|
|
Glycolysis
|
glucose is broken down to make 2 pyruvic acids, and 2 ATP
|
|
Aerobic Respiration
|
-Making ATP in the presence of Oxygen
-makes 38 ATP per 1 glucose molecule |
|
Anaerobic Respiration
|
-Making ATP with out oxygen present
-makes 2 ATP per 1 glucose molecule |
|
Lactic Acid Fermentation
|
-Done when our body is using more oxygen than we can breathe in
-The pyruvic acid made in glycolysis is turned into lactic acid and NAD+ is also made -This allows glycolysis to continue |
|
Alcoholic Fermentation
|
-Yeast turn pyruvic acid into ethyl alcohol and NAD+
-This allows glycolysis to continue, and makes all the ATP that yeast need |
|
Krebs Cycle
|
-Done only when enough oxygen is available
-turns the pyruvic acid from glycolysis into a variety of compounds -releases 2 CO2 molecules for every pyruvic acid used -Also makes NADH and FADH2 to be used in the electron transport chain |
|
Energy carrying molecules made in the Krebs cycle
|
NADH and FADH2
|
|
Electron Transport chain
|
-takes place in the inner membrane of the mitochondria
-uses NADH and FADH2 to gain excited electrons to make ATP - Oxygen must be present to accept the used electrons at the end of the process |
|
Overall reaction for cellular respiration
|
sugar + O2 ---> CO2 + H2O + Energy
