I. Cellular Respiration (Intro)
• Cells require ATP in order to function.
• Cellular respiration is the “metabolic
machinery that releases energy from food
molecules”.

Oxidized
Organic compounds ATP
Food (Loose electrons
Carbohydrates in form of H atoms) (energy)
Proteins
Lipids
I. Cellular Respiration: Anaerobic
vs. Aerobic

Anaerobic Respiration Aerobic Respiration


(ex. fermentation, lactic acid fermentation)
requires oxygen for the
does not require oxygen production of ATP.
for the production of ATP.

Certain organisms can perform both


Anaerobic and Aerobic respiration
depending on the availability of Oxygen.

Anaerobic and Aerobic respiration

Yeast Cells can perform aerobic respiration or alcoholic fermentation


Human Muscle Cells can perform aerobic respiration OR when starved for
oxygen, as in during vigorous exercise, muscle cells can switch to producing ATP
by lactic acid fermentation (cause of lactic acid buildup).

vs. Aerobic
Yeast Cells, in the absence of oxygen can produce ATP by alcoholic
fermentation.

can switch to producing ATP by lactic acid fermentation (cause of lactic acid

II. Aerobic Respiration: Whole
Organism
• Aerobic respiration at the whole organism level
= process by which gases are exchanged with
the environment.

O2 CO2
II. Aerobic Respiration: Whole
Organism
• Respiratory Surface (= part of the organism
where O2 diffuses into and CO2 diffuses out of
the organism) must be moist, as gases must be
dissolved in water before they can diffuse in or
out.

In unicellular aquatic
protozoans:
O2 dissolved in
water passes across
the cell membrane
by diffusion, and
CO2 exits.

II. Aerobic Respiration: Whole
Organism

In insects: O2 enters
through small
Spiracles openings in the
body wall (spiracles)
and is carried
through tracheal
tubes to moist cell
membranes, across
which respiratory
exchange occurs.

II. Aerobic Respiration: Whole
Organism

In fish: O2 (in H2O)


diffuses across the
surface of gills, into
capillaries of the
circulatory system
and CO2 diffuses in
the opposite
direction.
II. Aerobic Respiration: Whole
Organism
In terrestrial vertebrates: O2
diffuses across moist epithelial
cells in the internal alveoli of the
lungs. CO2 diffuses in the opposite
direction.

II. Aerobic Respiration: Whole
Organism
In multicellular terrestrial
flowering plants: O2 (in
H2O) diffuses across the
surface of roots and
stems, and CO2 diffuses
in the opposite direction.
Leaves possess
specialized cells (guard
cells) which open and
close stomates,
regulating gas
exchange.
II. Aerobic Respiration: Cellular
• Cells of most organisms, including plants, carry
out aerobic cellular respiration 24 hours per day.

Enzymes
C6H12O6 + 6O2 6CO2 + 6H2O + 36 ATP + Heat

Glucose 60% of energy from


glucose is trapped in
ATP

40% of energy from


glucose is lost as heat
Endothermic animals use
this heat for regulating
body temperature
II. Aerobic Respiration: Cellular
To measure the rate of respiration one can either
1) measure the rate of reactants consumed, or
2) measure the rate of products produced.
Enzymes
C6H12O6 + 6O2 6CO2 + 6H2O + 36 ATP + Heat
reactants consumed products produced

In lab you will be measuring the rate of reactants consumed.

II. Aerobic Respiration: Cellular
1 E- transport and Chemiosmosis
– electrons from NADH and FADH2 pass through a
series of compounds and loose energy.
– some energy is lost as heat
– most of the energy is trapped at ATP through
the process of chemiosmosis
– occurs in cristae of the mitochondria
(eukaryotes) or folds of the cell membrane
(prokaryotes).
O2 is the final acceptor of electrons that were originally part of
the glucose molecule.
O2 combines with the electrons and H+ to form water.
