-Cellular Respiration-Breaking the bonds of sugar
to produce ATP
ATP
AP Biology
Cellular Respiration – makes ATP by breaking down sugars and other carbon-based molecules.
3 metabolic stages Anaerobic respiration
1. Glycolysis - “Glucose Breaking” Anaerobic respiration -respiration without O2
Located in the cytoplasm Produces a net of 2 ATP molecules/glucose
Aerobic respiration phase – respiration with O2
2. Krebs cycle Located in the mitochondria matrix Produces 2 ATP/glucose 3. Electron transport chain Located in the mitochondrial inner membrane Produces 32-34 ATP/glucose

AP Biology
Glycolysis –anaerobic respiration occurs in cytoplasm Sugar is broken into two pyruvic acid molecules and
releases 2 molecules of ATP/Glucose
Net gain of 2 ATP produced for every glucose

-2 ATPs release energy-Phosphate is added to another compound.
-An electron moving down membranes, eventually bonding with NAD+.This gain of electrons attracts hydrogen ions, which bonds to NAD+, storing energy in the bonds of NADH
-ADP gains the third phosphate, forming ATP. Energy is stored in the phosphate bonds.
AP Biology
Step 1. Two ATP molecules are used to energize a glucose molecule. The glucose molecule is split into two three-carbon molecules.

Step 2. Energized electrons and hydrogen ions from the three-carbon molecules are transferred to molecules of NAD+, becoming NADH. A series of reactions converts the 3-carbon molecules to Acetyl Co-A which enters cellular respiration

Glycolysis- The Song!

AP Biology
If No Oxygen is present the pyruvate cannot enter the Kreb Cycle and goes into Fermentation instead.
AP Biology
2 Types of Fermentation A. Alcoholic Fermentation – occurs in Plants & Bacteria Produces NAD+, 2 ATP, and ethanol. Used in the production of wines, cheeses, breads.
AP Biology
B. Lactic Acid Fermentation – In Animals Produces NAD+ and Lactic acid
Causes pain in the joints.
AP Biology
IV. STAGE 2: KREBS CYCLE – AEROBIC RESPIRATION
a. Occurs in the mitochondrial matrixb. A process that breaks pyruvate through a series of reactions
producing Electron Carrier compounds, ATP and carbon dioxide gas.
c. Produces large quantities of electron carriers like NADH, and FADH2 that go to the Electron Transport Chain.
Step 1. Pyruvate (from glycolysis) is broken down (loses a carbon).
Step 2 Coenzyme A (CoA) bonds to the two-carbon molecule. This intermediate molecule (Acetyl-CoA) enter the Krebs cycle.

AP Biology
Step 3 Citric Acid is formed by bonding acetyl-coA to a four carbon molecule.
Step 4: Citric acid is broken down by releasing a carbon, and a five-carbon molecule is made.
Step 5. The five-carbon molecule is broken down. A four-carbon molecule is made.
Step 6. The four-carbon molecule is rearranged. 2 ATPs are formed.
Products from breakdown of one molecule of pyruvate:•CO2 given off as a waste product each time a carbon is broken off.•2 ATP•4 NADH goes to ETC•1 FADH2 goes to ETC

STAGE 3: Electron Transport Chain
Takes place in the inner mitochondrial membrane A process that uses high electron carriers from the Krebs
cycle to generate ATP by oxidative phosphorylation. Produces 32-34 ATP molecules per molecule of glucose.
Step 1. H+ and e- are removed from NADH and FADH2.
Step 2. Hydrogen ions are transported across the membrane.
Step 3. ADP is changed into ATP when hydrogen ions flow through ATP Synthase.
Step 4. Water is formed when oxygen picks up electrons and hydrogen ions.

If you are chasing prey for food, or being chased by a predator,
it is probably higher…

ETC backs up nothing to pull electrons down chain NADH & FADH2 can’t unload H
ATP production ceases cells run out of energy and you die!
Taking it beyond… What is the final electron
acceptor in Electron Transport Chain?
O2
So what happens if O2 unavailable?
