Cell Respiration
The process by which cells turn food molecules into
cell energy

The Complete breakdown of foods occurs in aerobic respiration
The general reaction of aerobic respiration is:
glucose + O2 CO2 + H2O + ATP + heat
• This reaction occurs in steps:– Glycolysis– Transition reaction– Krebs Cycle– Electron Transport Chain

Glycolysis
• Occurs in the cytoplasm• Splits a 6-carbon sugar into 2
x 3-C pyruvates• Reaction sequence:
Sugar (6C) 2 Pyruvates (3C)• Produces:
– 2 ATP molecules
– 2 NADH2

Transition reaction
• Processes pyruvate so that it can enter mitochondrion
• The reaction sequence:
2 pyruvate (3C) 2 acetyl (2C)• Produces:
– 2 NADH2
• 2 acetyl groups easily enter the mitochondrion of the cell

Transition between cytoplasm and mitochondrion
![Page 6: Cell Respiration The process by which cells turn food molecules into cell energy.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649e905503460f94b94be7/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Krebs Cycle
• Occurs in the cytoplasm of the mitochondria (stroma)
• Cyclical series of reactions which breaks down acetyls releasing CO2
• Produces:– 2 ATP’s– 6 NADH2
– 2 FADH2

Up to this point, the entire molecule of glucose has been broken down to form 6 CO2’s
Yet, only 4 ATP’s have been formed during:
•Glycolysis
•Transition &
•Krebs CyclePotential energy of NADH2 and FADH2 can be released in Electron Transport Chain

Electron Transport Chain – harvests potential energy of NAD and FAD coenzymes
Occurs along inner membrane (cristae) of mitochondrion

Overall Energy Harvest of Aerobic Cell Respiration
Much more ATP than the 4 molecules
received through Gly, Trans, and
Krebs!!

We metabolize more than sugars!!

Can cells produce ATP without oxygen being present?
• Oxygen removes e-’s from the Electron Transport Chain to help make ATP
• If oxygen is not present, NADH2 must be oxidized to NAD+ to allow cells to make ATP

Animal cells engage in fermentation
• Fermentation allows NAD+ to be recycled
• Fermentation produces 2 ATP’s per molecule of glucose broken down
• Glucose is not completely broken down
![Page 13: Cell Respiration The process by which cells turn food molecules into cell energy.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649e905503460f94b94be7/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Plant and fungal cellsengage in fermentation
• This process also allows NAD+ to be recycled
• Produces 2 ATP’s per molecule of glucose broken down
• Glucose is not completely broken down

Fermentations producemany foods and drinks!
• Dairy fermentations– Cheeses– Yogurts– Sour cream
• Fermented foods– Breads – Tofu and tempeh– Pickles, sauerkraut
• Fermented beverages– Wines, beers, ales
