-Cellular Respiration: Occurs in mitochondria

in cells breaks down glucose and produces

energy ATP.

This process is called cellular respiration.

• Which organisms perform cellular
respiration in some form?
• Both animals and plants

- Cellular Respiration Equation:

- 6O2 + C6 H12 O6 -> 6CO2 + H2O + Energy

- Opposite of photosynthesis
- (6CO2 + 6H2O + Light Energy -> C6 H12 O6 +
6O2).
• Cellular Respiration begins with food
molecules that are broken down into
energy.

Animals consume food.

Plants make food during photosynthesis.
Ways a Cell Makes Energy
• Cellular Respiration = aerobic = with oxygen

• Fermentation = anaerobic = without oxygen

Similarities between
Respiration and Fermentation

• They both begin with glycolysis = the

process in which glucose is split in two to
make pyruvic acid and ATP.

• They both happen within cytoplasm, living

organisms.
Which type of respiration Aerobic or
Anaerobic Respiration produce the most
ATP?
Aerobic cellular respiration
First step in Respiration Glycolysis
• Takes place in the cytoplasm of the cell
• It requires no oxygen (anaerobic)
• -How much energy does it take to make this
happen? requires 2 ATP
• -How much energy does glycolysis produce?
2 ATP, a net gain of ATP.
Glycolysis Summary: In: ___glucose_____
Out: ___pyruvic acid__
___2 ATPs______
• Fermentation – occurs when oxygen isn’t
available and the aerobic stages of
respiration can’t begin.

• Begins after glycolysis (anaerobic) as an

alternate form of respiration.

• Provides small amounts of ATP until cell

can get enough oxygen for aerobic stages
of respiration
• Alcoholic Fermentation: produces
alcohol & CO2 when breaking down food
without O2.
• -Common in yeast cells
• Lactic Acid Fermentation: Occurs in
muscle cells. The cell will convert pyruvic
acid into lactic acid.
• Product of lactic acid fermentation is
sore muscles.
• Energy and Exercise
• Quick Energy: ex. Sprints
• -Energy is obtained through lactic acid
fermentation

• Long-Term Energy: ex. walking around

school, paying attention in class, talking
on the phone.
• -Energy is obtained through cellular
respiration.
