►The energy released during respiration The energy released during respiration is is notnot used directly by cells. used directly by cells.

► Instead it is used to make a molecule Instead it is used to make a molecule called called ATPATP which stores the energy which stores the energy until it is needed.until it is needed.

ATP = ATP = AAdenosine denosine ttriripphosphatehosphate

What does ATP do?What does ATP do?

►ATP supplies energy for all the ATP supplies energy for all the processes that need it. processes that need it.

► For example: For example: ► movementmovement► chemical reactionschemical reactions ► growthgrowth..

Formation of ATPFormation of ATP

ATP is made when another molecule ATP is made when another molecule

called adenosine called adenosine didiphosphate (phosphate (ADPADP) is ) is

bonded to a third inorganic phosphate bonded to a third inorganic phosphate

Aerobic Aerobic RespirationRespiration

Aerobic respirationAerobic respiration = respiration with = respiration with oxygenoxygen..

Aerobic respiration happens in Aerobic respiration happens in 33 stages:stages:

Stage 1Stage 1 – – GlycolysisGlycolysis (in (in cytoplasm)cytoplasm)

glycoglyco lysislysis

glucose splittingglucose splitting

In glycolysis, a glucose molecule is broken down into pyruvic acid.

Glycolysis does not require oxygen

But…if oxygen is present then….
