Cellular Respiration
AIN ~ Living organisms obtain energy by breakjng downorganic molecules during cellular respiration.
Real-World Reading Link Monarch butterflies must constantly feed onnectar from flowers to provide energy to sustain themselves during their wintermigration to parts of Mexico and California each year. Similarly, humans andother living organisms need reliable food sources to supply energy to surviveand grow.
Overview of Cellular RespirationRecall that organisms obtain energy in a process called cellular respiration. The function of cellular respiration is to harvest electrons fromcarbon compounds, such as glucose, and use that energy to make ATP.ATP is used to provide energy for cells to do work. The overall chemical equation for cellular respiration is shown below. Notice the equationfor cellular respiration is the opposite of the equation for photosynthesis.

Multilingual eGlossary Cellular respiration occurs in two main parts: glycolysis and aerobicrespiration- The first stage, glycolysis, is an anaerobic process. Anaerobicprocesses do not require oxygen. Aerobic respiration includes theKrebs cycle and electron transport and is an aerobic process. Aerobicprocesses require oxygen. Cellular respiration with aerobic respirationis summarized in Figure 11.

CARFERS IN BIOLOGY
Bioenergeticist A researcher whostudies energy transfers in cells is abioenergeticist. Some bioenergeticists study mitochondria and theirrelationship to aging and disease.
Steps of the Krebs cycle Prior to the Krebs cycle, pyruvate firstreacts with coenzyme A (CoA) to form a 2-carbon intermediate calledacetyl CoA. At the same time, carbon dioxide is released and NAD isconverted to NADH. Acetyl CoA then moves to the mitochondrialmatrix. The reaction results in the production of two carbon dioxidemolecules and two NADH molecules. Follow along in Figure 13 asyou continue reading about the steps of the Krebs cycle. ~
as citric acid.
• Citric acid is then broken down in the next series of stepsjreleasing two molecules of carbon dioxide and generating one ATP,three NADH, and one FADH2. FAD is another electron darnersimilar to NAD~ and NADP
• Finally, acetyl CoA and citric acid are generated and the éfdecontinues.
Recall that two molecules of pyruvate are formed during glycolySisresulting in two “turns” of the Krebs cycle for each glucose molçcule.The net yield from the Krebs cycle is six carbon dioxide molecules, twoATP, eight NADH, and two FADH2. Ten NADH and two FADH2 moveon to play a significant role in the next stage of aerobic respjration.
Electron TransportIn aerobic respiration, electron transport is the final step in the breakdown of glucose. It also is the point at which most of the ATP is produced. High-energy electrons and hydrogen ions from NADH andFADH2 produced in the Krebs cycle are used to convert ADP to ATP

As shown in Figure 14, electrons move along the mitochondrialmembrane from one protein to another. As NADH and FADH2 releaseIectrofls, the energy carriers are converted to NAD~ and FAD, and Hns are released into the mitochondrial matrix. The H ions are pumped

ide e tron acceptor in the electron transport system in cellular respiration.as Protons and electrons are transferred to oxygen to form water.
Overall, electron transport produces 32 ATP. Each NADH moleculeroduces three ATP and each group of three FADH2 produces two ATP. Inkaryotes, one molecule of glucose yields 36 ATP under ideal conditions.
Prokaryotic cellular respiration Some prokaryotes also undergoerobic respiration. Because prokaryotes do not have mitochondria,here are differences in the process. The main difference involves theeof the prokaryotic cellular membrane as the location of electronnsport. In eukaryotic cells, pyruvate is transported to the mitochon
na. In prokaryotes, this movement is unnecessary, saving the prokaryI cell two ATP, and increasing the net total of ATP produced to 38.

Lactic Acid Fermentation Alcohol Fermentation
Based On Real Data*
Lactic acid fermentation In lactic acidfermentation, enzymes convert the pyruvate made during glycolysis tolactic acid, as shown in Figure 15. This involves the transfer of high.energy electrons and protons from NADH. Skeletal muscles producelactic acid when the body cannot supply enough oxygen, such as duringperiods of strenuous exercise. When lactic acid builds up in muscle cellmuscles become fatigued and might feel sore. Lactic acid also is produced by several microorganisms that often are used to produce manyfoods, including cheese, yogurt, and sour cream.
Alcohol fermentation Alcohol fermentation occurs in yeast andsome bacteria. Figure 15 shows the chemical reaction that occurs during alcohol fermentation when pyruvate is converted to ethyl alcoholand carbon dioxide. Similar to lactic acid fermentation, NADH donateelectrons during this reaction and NAD is regenerated.
