Understanding Cellular Respiration and ATP: The Key to Energy Release

Learn how cellular respiration in cells produces energy from food, powered by ATP, the universal energy carrier, in this informative guide. Discover the process of ATP charging up, the importance of NAD carriers, and the role of CO2 as a waste product. Master the concept of energy transfer through ATP and ADP molecules.

  1. Respiration

  2. Respiration Release of energy from food – DON’T CONFUSE IT WITH GASEOUS EXCHANGE OR BREATHING.

  3. Respiration Release of energy from food. Occurs in ALL cells; in the c__________ and the m_________

  4. Respiration Release of energy from food. Occurs in ALL cells; in the c__________ and the m_________

  5. Sources of energy ATP – adenosine triphosphate. UNIVERSAL ENERGY CARRIER.

  6. Sources of energy ATP – adenosine triphosphate. UNIVERSAL ENERGY CARRIER. ATP carries the energy to power EVERY reaction and process in ALL living things.

  7. Sources of energy ATP – adenosine triphosphate. UNIVERSAL ENERGY CARRIER. ATP carries the energy to power EVERY reaction and process in ALL living things. It is then charged up by food molecules – this process is called cellular respiration.

  8. Sources of energy ATP – adenosine triphosphate. UNIVERSAL ENERGY CARRIER. ATP carries the energy to power EVERY reaction and process in ALL living things. It is then charged up by food molecules – this process is called cellular respiration. One molecule of glucose charges up 38 molecules of ATP.

  9. ATP ADP – adenosine diphosphate and ATP are similar.

  10. ATP ADP – adenosine diphosphate and ATP are similar. ATP carries the energy whereas ADP is the empty carrier.

  11. ATP ADP – adenosine diphosphate and ATP are similar. ATP carries the energy whereas ADP is the empty carrier. The last phosphate bond is the high energy bond.

  12. ATP ADP – adenosine diphosphate and ATP are similar. ATP carries the energy whereas ADP is the empty carrier. The last phosphate bond is the high energy bond. This bond is where energy is carried.

  13. ATP ADP – adenosine diphosphate and ATP are similar. ATP carries the energy whereas ADP is the empty carrier. The last phosphate bond is the high energy bond. This bond is where energy is carried. When ATP (tri) gives up its energy, it loses a phosphate and turns into ADP (di).

  14. ATP ADP – adenosine diphosphate and ATP are similar. ATP carries the energy whereas ADP is the empty carrier. The last phosphate bond is the high energy bond. This bond is where energy is carried. When ATP (tri) gives up its energy, it loses a phosphate and turns into ADP (di). ADP then goes back to the cytoplasm and mitochondria to be recharged.

  18. More carriers - NAD Most of the energy to charge up ADP to ATP comes from the hydrogen in glucose.

  19. More carriers - NAD Most of the energy to charge up ADP to ATP comes from the hydrogen in glucose. CO2 formed as a waste product is breathed out.

  20. More carriers - NAD Most of the energy to charge up ADP to ATP comes from the hydrogen in glucose. CO2 formed as a waste product is breathed out. Hydrogen needs to be carried to the correct place – this is where NAD comes in!

  21. More carriers - NAD Most of the energy to charge up ADP to ATP comes from the hydrogen in glucose. CO2 formed as a waste product is breathed out. Hydrogen needs to be carried to the correct place – this is where NAD comes in! NAD is when it is empty – and NADH2 is when there is hydrogen (see! The H gives it away…)
