CELLULAR RESPIRATION
By: Hanie Grace I. Reodava

Cellular Respiration
is the process by which glucose molecules are broken down to release energy. is a series of chemical reactions which produces ATP. is the process by which the chemical energy of "food" molecules is released and partially captured in the form of ATP.

Two Types of Cellular Respiration

1. aerobic respiration 2. anaerobic respiration

Aerobic Respiration
is a process of cellular respiration that uses oxygen in order to break down molecules, which then release electrons and creating energy

Aerobic Respiration
produces 36 adenosine triphosphate (ATP) molecules from each glucose molecule. responsible for storing and carrying most of the energy to other body cells, thus making life as we know it possible.

Three Main Stages of Aerobic Respiration

first major stage is called glycolysis second stage is known as Kreb's cycle third step is a process known as electron transport phosphorylation

Glycolysis
(gly-KOL-uh-sis) is the process by

which glucose is converted to pyruvate and energy is released. literally means "splitting sugars." Glucose, a six carbon sugar, is split into two molecules of a three carbon sugar.

Citric Acid Cycle or Krebs Cycle

begins after the two molecules of the three carbon sugar produced in glycolysis are converted to a slightly different compound (acetyl CoA). Through a series of intermediate steps, several compounds capable of storing "high energy" electrons are produced along with two ATP molecules

Electron Transport
is the process by which energy is transferred from NADH and FADH2 . is the phase of aerobic respiration requires oxygen directly. is a series of electron carriers in the membrane of the mitochondria in eukaryotic cells.

Anaerobic Respiration
is the oldest method of cellular respiration. is the process that releases energy from food molecules in the absence of oxygen. this type of respiration primarily works by fermentation, which is also known as glycolysis

Fermentation
is the extraction of energy from pyruvate in the absence of oxygen. Two types of fermentation
Alcoholic fermentation Lactic acid fermentation

Aerobic Respiration: (w/ Air)

Glucose + Oxygen = Carbon Dioxide + Water + Energy

Anaerobic Respiration: (w/o Air)

Glucose = Lactic Acid + Energy

COMPARISON
CELLULAR RESPIRATION C6H12O6+6O2 6CO2+6H2O + ENERGY

PHOTOSYNTHESIS 6CO2+6H2O + ENERGY C6H12O6+6O2

Why cellular respiration important?

According to Starsandreas.com Cellular respiration is essential to life, it provides the energy that cells need to carry out metabolic processes like synthesizing proteins building microtubules and microfilaments to maintain cell structure.

 Without cellular respiration, life would cease to exist.
