|
Cell Respiration |
- the controlled release of energy from organic compounds in cells to form ATP |
|
|
Glucose in Cellular Respiration |
- in cellular respiration, glucose in the cytoplasm is broken down by electrolysis into pyruvate with a small yield of ATP |
|
|
Pyruvate and Anaerobic Cell Respiration |
- in anaerobic cell respiration, the pyruvate stays in the cytoplasm and is converted into lactate which is then removed from the cell - in yeast, the pyruvate is converted into carbon dioxide and ethanol - in both cases, no ATP is produced |
|
|
Pyruvate and Anaerobic Cell Respiration: Cont. |
- if oxygen is available, the pyruvate is taken up into the mitochondria and is broken down into carbon dioxide and water. - a large amount of ATP is released during this process |
