This document summarizes cellular respiration, which is the process by which glucose and oxygen are used to produce energy in the form of ATP. It occurs in three main phases: glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain. Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm and produces 2 ATP and 2 NADH molecules. The Krebs cycle takes place in the mitochondrial matrix and produces no net ATP but generates 2 NADH and 2 FADH2 molecules. The electron transport chain on the inner mitochondrial membrane uses the NADH and FADH2 to produce ATP through oxidative phosphorylation. Overall, cellular respiration is about 40% efficient and yields approximately 30-32 molecules of ATP per glucose molecule.
2. # The overall reaction:-
C6H12O6+6O2 6CO2+6H2O+Energy(~30-32ATP)
# Definition:- It is a process of taking oxygen
and glucose and turning them
into ATP i.e. energy for the body.
# Efficiency:- It is a 40% efficient process
with 60% of the energy going to
heat.
# Happens in 3 phases:-
a) Glycolysis b) Krebs's Cycle c) ETC
7. Derived from Greek words; Glykys=sweet &
Lysis=splitting
It is an anaerobic process.
Ten step metabolic pathway to convert
glucose into two molecules of pyruvate and
two molecules each of NADH and ATP.
It occurs in the cytoplasm of plant and
animal cells.
Free energy released in this process is
stored as two molecules of ATP and NADH.
8. # Energy Investment Stage:-
* Includes reaction steps from one to five.
* Glucose to two Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate.
* Two ATPs are invested.
* Also called as preparatory stage.
# Energy payoff stage:-
* Includes reaction steps from six to ten.
* Two Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate to two
Pyruvate plus four ATPs.
* A net gain of two molecules of ATP and two
NADH molecules.
24. Location:- Mitochondrial matrix.
It is an aerobic process.
Net zero ATP is produced.
Pyruvate molecules transported from
cytoplasm to mitochondria.
Converts each pyruvate(3C) into acetyl
coenzyme(2C).
2CO2 released (1from each pyruvate)
2NAD+ reduced to NADH.
Reaction:-pyruvate+NAD+CoA
Acetyl-CoA+NADH+CO2
(2 pyruvate=2 NADH and CO2)
25. # Also known as Citric Acid Cycle or TCA(Tri
Carboxylic Acid).
# Occurs in mitochondrial matrix.
# It is an aerobic process.
# Net production of 2 ATPs.
# Takes two complete cycles.
# Uses Acetyl CoA to generate ATP,NADH,FADH2
and CO2.
# Eight steps, each within an enzyme.
