RATION
LIVING THINGS GET THE ENERGY THE
Y NEED FROM THE BREAKDOWN OF G
LUCOSE (SUGAR)
It all happens in MITOCH
ONDRION
RECALL
All our cells need energy
ATP is the energy that the cells use for all life proces
ses.
The cell makes ATP by breaking down a sugar called
glucose.
Glucose is the energy of the body.
ATP is the energy of the cell
How does glucose get int
o the body?
Through the foods you eat.
You eat a piece of bread which is made
of large carbohydrate molecules.
Your body breaks the large carbs into tin
y sugars during digestion.
It starts with the saliva in the mouth, th
en in the stomach and finally the food p
asses through intestines.
When the carbs reach the large intestines, they are b
roken down so small that they get absorbed in the bl
ood.
The small sugars are monosaccharides
Glucose is one of these monosaccharides.
The red blood cells then carry the small sugars to the
cells that need them.
When the sugars reach the cells, they cant pass through the cell membrane be
cause of the lipid bilayer.
However, a protein channel recognizes then and lets them in.
The small 6-carbon sugar is now in the cell
Its brought to the mitochondria to be further broken down into ATP
CO2 is one waste product of these process.
AS you exhale now, you are releasing CO2 into the classroom from your mitoch
ondria by the process of cellular respiration.
You need food, oxygen and water for this process.
All of your trillions of cells are doing this
Each cell can have hundreds of mitochondria, all making ATP.
Cellular respiration
•Organic sugar (glucose) is converted to inorganic gas Carbo
n dioxide.
•ATP or cell energy is made in the process
•Cell respiration occurs in the mitochondria of all cells.
•It occurs 24/7.
•The diagram at the bottom shows a six carbon glucose being broke
n down into six molecules of CO2 in a series of steps..

What is a calorie?
Calorie: amount of energy needed to raise the te
mperature of one gram on water by one degree C
elsius.
It is how we measure the energy levels;
One gram of glucose releases 3811 calories of en
ergy.
cellular respiration: process of breaking down fo
od for energy.

If oxygen is present, step two is the Krebs cycle. This is true for human muscle c
ells.
This will be explained better later.
GLYCOLYSIS
Glycolysis is the first stage of cellular respiration.
It takes place in the cytosol of the cytoplasm.
The term glycolysis literary means “splitting sugar” which exactly what ha
ppens in this stage.
Step One: Glycolysis

Fermentation: occurs only when
oxygen is not present.
Two types of fermentation
1. Alcoholic Fermentation
◦ Used by Yeast and a few other microorganisms.
◦ Produces alcohol and carbon dioxide from the three carbon pyruvic acid.
