How do organisms release energy

All Oxygen using organisms must release energy through cellular respiration.

New cards
2

Where does this energy come from?

The energy comes from cellular resiration, and breaking down glucose.

New cards
3

Most energy is used when ATP → ADP.

Cells have to continually convert ADP molevules back into ATP, through cellular respiration

New cards
4

Cellular Respiration Equation

C6H1206 + 6(O2) → 6(H20) + 6(CO2) + ATP + heat energy

New cards
5

Cells turn ATP into Glucose and back into ATP because

Doing that produces more ATP than needed to create it. (18ish → 38 ATP)

New cards
6

Breathing

Physical process that allows animals + humans to come into contant with gasses in the air

New cards
7

Cellular Respiration

Chemical process that releases energy from organic compounds(food), gradually converting it into energy stored in ATP molcules.

New cards
8

Heat energy released from cellular respiration…

… makes our bodies warm

New cards
9

Food contains nutrients that we need

Cells use them to carry out life processes

New cards
10

Cells don’t burn glucose..

It slowly releases energy from it through several pathways(processess)

New cards
11

1st “Pathway” Glycolysis

Glycolysis releases 2 ATP and occurs in cytoplasm. Also turns glucose (6-C) into 2 Pyruvic Acids (3-C). Also produces NADH (carries hydrogen)

New cards
12

If oxygen is there after Glycosis

Then the Pyruvate goes to the mitochondira →Krebs cycle → ETC/Oxidated Phosphorelation.

New cards
13

If oxygen isnt there after Glycosis

Then Alchaholic fermantation or Lactic Acid Fermentation happens.

New cards
14

Citric Acid

Citrate

New cards
15

Pyruvic Acid

Pyruvate

New cards
16

Anaerobic

No oxygen, a process that doesnt need oxygen

New cards
17

Aerobic

Needs oxygen, a process that needs oxygen.

New cards
18

Pyruvate/Pyruvic Acid

Product from Glycolysis. Is 2 pyruvic acid molecules which have 3 Carbon each. Meaning it has 6 Carbon, same amount as glucose

New cards
19

NADH

Similar to NADPH and carries Hydrogen and electrons.

New cards
20

FADH2

carries electrons and Hydrogen

New cards
21

FAD

oxidized form of FADH2

New cards
22

NAD

oxidized form of NADH

New cards
23

Is glycolysis anaerobic?

Yes it does not require oxygen.

New cards
24

Is the Krebs cycle anaerobic?

Sort of. It is considered aerobic even though the reaction does not use oxygen because the materials needed are produced with oxygen.

New cards
25

does ETC/oxidative phosphorylation need oxygen?

Yes it is aerobic.

New cards
26

Cellular Respiration

glycosis + Krebs cycle + ETC → pretty much reversed version of photosynthesis

New cards
27

The 3 stages of cellular respiration…

… extract the energy slowly to avoid chemical explosion

New cards
28

Glycolysis

occurs in the cystol of the cytoplasm. uses 2 ATP and produces 4 ATP. net gain of 2 ATP. Is very fast, does not require oxygen and can supply energy to cells when oxygen is not avaliable

New cards
29

Glycolysis equation

C6H12O6 + 2(NAD+) + 2(P) + 2(ADP) → 2 Pyruvate + 2NADH + 2 ATP

New cards
30

If cell generates alot of ATP from glycolysis then..

  1. cells avaliable NAD+ molecules become filled up with electorns

  2. glycolysis shuts down → can’t proceed without NAD+ molecules

  3. ATP production stops

New cards
31

Anaerobic to Aerobic Respiration

glycolysis evolved before other stages bc other stages need oxygen

there was no oxygen on earth 4 billion years ago

no oxygen→ anaerobic respiration

photosynthesizing bacteria adds oxygen → aerobic organisms

New cards
32

Mitochondria structure

inner membrane folded (increases surface area)

inner membrane space between outer + inner membrane

<p>inner membrane folded (increases surface area)</p><p>inner membrane space between outer + inner membrane</p>
New cards
33

After glycosis

90% of chemical energy is still unsed locked in electrons of pyruvic acid which will later be extracted by oxygen, the world’s most powerful electron receptor.

New cards
34

Krebs cycle

2nd stage of cellular respiration

named after Hans Krebs, british biochemist in 1937

Acetyl CoA is broken down into CO2 through reactions

Citric Acid is 1st compound forme so cycle is sometimes called the Citric Acid cycle

New cards
35

Glucose turns into

2, 3 carbon ppyruvate and then 6 carbon molebules

New cards
36

NADH and FADH2 go to

the ETC after they are produced

New cards
37

Link Reaction

After glycosis, the 2 pyruvate enters the mitochondiral matrix and is converted to 2 Acetyl CoA which goes into the Krebs Cycle.

New cards
38

Link Reaction products

2 NADH, 2Acetyl CoA.

New cards
39

How much ATP does ETC produce?

30-34

New cards
40

Why does ETC require oxygen?

If the electrons are not picked up by the oxygen and hydrogen to from H20, then the process will stop and ATP will not be produced.

New cards
41

How does ETC use the electron carriers NADH and FADH2 from glycosis and the Krebs cycle

NADH and FADH2 release electrons which are used to pump hydrogen through the the inner mitochondrial membrane.

New cards
42

If a cell does not have oxygen after glycosis then..

Lactic Acid or alcohol + Co2 fermentation happens which does not produce ATP

New cards
43

Fermentation

  1. After glycolysis when you don’t have oxygen

  2. Converts NADH to NAD+ by giving back electrons from NADH to pyruvic acid

  3. Does this so that glycolysis can continue

New cards
44

Anaerobes

perform fermentation

New cards
45

Facultative Anaerobe

Does fermentatio only when it is beneficial. Does both aerobic respiration and fermentation

New cards
46

Obligate Anaerobe

Only does fermentation so it doesn’t need a mitochondria.

New cards
47

Alcoholic Fermentation equation

pyruvic acid + NADH → ethyl alcohold + Co2 + NAD+

New cards
48

Alcoholic Fermentation

Yeast uses alcoholic fermentation. Humans use it to make alcohol or bread.

New cards
49

Lactic Acid Fermentation Equation

Pyruvic Acid + NADH → Lactic Acid + NAD+

New cards
50

Lactic Acid Fermentation

Pyruvic Acid becomes lactic acid. Happens when human body cannot supply enough oxygen to muscle tissues during excersize

New cards
51

Is the link reaction aerobic

Yes

New cards
52

Why does glycolysis take place in the cytoplasm?

Because glucose cant enter the mitochondria

New cards
53

How does the Krebs cycle generate ATP?

The 4 carbon molecule goes through a chemical change which draws P to it. The P binds with ADP to become ATP.

New cards
54

Krebs cycle is a cycle because

Oxaloacetate is the starting and ending molecule
