-How do cells release energy?
-All plants and animals as well as many microbes use food (such as glucose) and
oxygen gas to produce ATP an energy carrier used to power cell activities. No cell can
survive without a steady supply of ATP
-ATP powers nearly every activity that requires energy:
Synthesis of DNA/RNA/ proteins/ carbohydrates and lips
active transport
separation of chromosomes during cell division
muscle contraction
-All cells need ATP but don’t produce it in the same way.
Aerobic cellular respiration —> uses oxygen and glucose to generate ATP.
-humans create ATP in this way
-makes 36 ATP per glucose molecule
fermentation —> generate ATP from glucose without oxygen
-when exercising, cells don’t always get as much oxygen as it needs so it
switches to fermentation. does not create ATP as efficiently though
-when you get tired there’s lactic acid build up
-makes 2 ATP. very inefficient
-Cell respiration is made of three parts:
Glycolysis - 2 ATP, 2 NADH, 2 Pyruvate
-takes places outside of the mitochondria in the cytoplasm
-breaking down glucose
-does not require oxygen
-glycolysis requires an input of two ATP to activate glucose. the ATP gives glucose
phosphates.
-once you have an active glucose molecule you split it
-each of the 3 carbon molecules proceeds to the energy extraction reactions of
glycolysis
-first each 3 carbon molecule is oxidized producing NADH (electron carriers)
-each 3 carbon molecule donates its phosphate groups to ADP molecules
producing ATP molecules. produces 4 total.
-leave a 3carbon molecule known as pyruvate

Document Summary

All plants and animals as well as many microbes use food (such as glucose) and oxygen gas to produce atp an energy carrier used to power cell activities. No cell can survive without a steady supply of atp. Atp powers nearly every activity that requires energy: synthesis of dna/rna/ proteins/ carbohydrates and lips, active transport, separation of chromosomes during cell division, muscle contraction. All cells need atp but don"t produce it in the same way: aerobic cellular respiration > uses oxygen and glucose to generate atp. Makes 36 atp per glucose molecule: fermentation > generate atp from glucose without oxygen. When exercising, cells don"t always get as much oxygen as it needs so it switches to fermentation. does not create atp as ef ciently though. When you get tired there"s lactic acid build up. Cell respiration is made of three parts: glycolysis - 2 atp, 2 nadh, 2 pyruvate. Takes places outside of the mitochondria in the cytoplasm.
