Life Requires Energy

• Energy flows into an ecosystem as sunlight and leaves as heat

• Photosynthesis

• Cells use chemical energy stored in organic molecules = cellular respiration

Cellular Respiration Generates ATP

• Cellular respiration includes both aerobic and anaerobic respiration but is often used to refer to aerobic respiration

• Although carbohydrates, fats, and proteins are all consumed as fuel, it is simplest to trace cellular respiration with the sugar glucose

C6H12O6 + 6 O2 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + Energy (ATP + heat)

Page 5: Cellular Respiration

Redox Reactions: Oxidation and Reduction

• The transfer of electrons during chemical reactions releases energy stored in organic molecules

• This released energy is ultimately used to synthesize ATP

Page 6: Cellular Respiration

The Principle of Redox• Chemical reactions that transfer electrons

between reactants are called oxidation-reduction reactions, or redox reactions

• In oxidation, a substance loses electrons, or is oxidized

• In reduction, a substance gains electrons, or is reduced (the amount of positive charge is reduced)

• During cellular respiration, the fuel (such as glucose) is oxidized, and O2 is reduced

Page 7: Cellular Respiration

Harvesting Energy in Small Steps

• In cellular respiration, glucose and other organic molecules are broken down in a series of steps

• Electrons from organic compounds are usually first transferred to NAD+, a coenzyme

• NADH passes the electrons to the electron transport chain

• Unlike an uncontrolled reaction, the electron transport chain passes electrons in a series of steps instead of one explosive reaction

• The energy yielded is used to regenerate ATP

The Stages of Cellular Respiration

• Harvesting of energy from glucose has three stages

– Glycolysis (breaks down glucose into two molecules of pyruvate)

– The citric acid cycle (completes the breakdown of glucose)

– Oxidative phosphorylation (accounts for most of the ATP synthesis)
