Cellular Respiration • Process of cell getting energy (ATP) out of glucose by breaking it down • Photosynthesis creates the food source (Glucose) for all life.
Relationship to Photosynthesis • Respiration is an ALMOST exact reverse reaction of photosynthesis? • The products of photosynthesis are the reactants of respiration. • The reactants of photosynthesis are the products of respiration. Review photosynthesis equation* 6 CO2 + 6 H2O C6H12O6 + 6 O2 New respiration equation* C6H12O6 + 6 O2 -- 6 CO2 + 6 H2O
Who Does Respiration? • All living things perform respiration. • Animals and Fungi don’t make their own food through photosynthesis. They are heterotrophs which • Get their energy from food
Two types of organisms that respire • Anaerobes • An – without aero – oxygen • Those organisms that cannot use oxygen to break down glucose • Examples include: • Yeasts, some bacteria, mold and mildew • Aerobes • Those organisms that use oxygen to respire and break down glucose. • Examples include: • All animals, protists, most bacteria
Anaerobes • Step 1 Glycolysis – begins the breakdown of glucose resulting in high energy pyruvic acid and 2 ATP. • Step 2 Fermentation – Results in 2 more ATP 2 types: Alcoholic fermentation and Lactic Acid Fermentation
Alcoholic Fermentation • Type of anaerobic respiration performed by some yeasts. • Hydrogen is used to burn the pyruvic acid and carbon dioxide, ethanol and water vapor is the result. • Useful in making alcoholic products such as beer, wine, liquor and breads. • Wine is fermented grapes, beer is fermented grains, vodka is potatoes, tequila is cactus juice, etc. • The carbon dioxide is what makes bread rise in the dough. The alcohol is evaporated as the bread bakes.
Lactic Acid Fermentation • Type of respiration performed by muscle cells when oxygen is depleted during strenuous exercise (buildup causes cramps and soreness)but burns fat. • Also performed by some bacteria and is used in many dairy products, such as sour cream, cheese, yogurt, cottage cheese, buttermilk. • Bacteria break down sugar in milk and produce carbon dioxide, water and lactic acid.
ATP results of Anaerobic Respiration • 1 glucose is burned to produce 4 ATP molecules. • Glucose CO2 + H2O + ethanol or lactic acid (depending upon the food source and type of anaerobe)
Aerobes • Step 1 – Glycolysis (same as anaerobes) begins the breakdown of glucose and 2 ATP • Step 2 – Citric Acid Cycle • Completes the breakdown of glucose • Produces 2 CO2 and 2 ATP • ADP ATP • Step 3 – Electron Transport Chain – Hydrogen ions and their electrons are passed along an electron acceptor molecule and much energy is released along the way. (34 ATP)
Aerobes • Because oxygen is available more ATP is able to be produced and has a net profit of 38 ATP from every glucose burned. • Mitochondria can divide independently from the rest of the cell because it has its own DNA. Exercising increases the number of mitochondria as demand increases when you get in shape. • C6H12O6 + 6 O2 6 CO2 + 6 H2O
ATP results of Aerobic Respiration • 1 glucose is burned to produce 38 ATP! • 1 Glucose 38 ATP • Why do you think yeast consume many times their body weight per day compared with animals? • Because they are not as efficient at getting the energy from their food and so must eat more food to get the same required energy as aerobes.
