CAS BI 105 Lecture 10: Cellular Respiration

24 views4 pages
Cellular Respiration
Glucose (C6H12O6)
A 6-carbon sugar molecule
After it is broken down, it is simply water
CR Reaction: Glucose/Organic Compounds + O2 —> CO2 + H2O + Energy (ATP + heat)
^thus, more cellular respiration will result in hunger/temperature rise/need to breathe more
Three main parts:
1. Glycolysis
Break down sugar that is glucose
Hexagon = two strips of 3 carbon molecules
2. Transition
Two strips of 3 carbon molecules = 2 + 1
3. Citric Acid Cycle
Broken down even further
4. Electron Transport Chain
Electrons —> ATP (ADP + P)
REVIEW:
Breaking molecules apart to harvest energy
As we break down a larger molecule into its components we can use those pieces to build into new
molecules
Two options:
using the parts of the molecule
using each individual atom
Most of the released energy can be stored in ATP or another energy intermediate for later use by the
cell
ATP —> ADP + P
^catalyzed by the enzyme ATP SYNTHASE
move left to right = exergonic reaction
move right to left = endergonic reaction
Cellular Respiration
All cells undergo cellular respiration all the time
Proteins, Carbs and Lipids can all be used as the organic compounds in cellular respiration
Metabolism and ATP Production
ATP is a carrier of energy
We do not store ATP
We store enough for the first few seconds of exercise
After those seconds, we need to make more ATP by breaking down glucose
^we need to always have glucose in our bloodstream and cellular respiration is constant
Food to ATP
Energy in the form of ATP
Eat complicated molecules
Break polymers down to monomers
Break the bonds in these monomers to release energy
Convert ADP to ATP to temporarily store energy for use
Energy (ATP) can be held by electrons and shuttled using small nucleotides
The transfer of energy in bonds between carbon in glucose to bonds between P in ATP (or other
energy intermediates) has four steps:
