Cellular respiration ( Catabolic)

Occurs in cytosol and mitochondria to catabloise orangic compounds aerobically/anaerobiliccally in from of ATP

Feature

Anaerobic Respiration

Aerobic Respiration

Oxygen Requirement

Does not require oxygen

Requires oxygen

Location in Cell

Cytoplasm

Cytoplasm and mitochondria

ATP Production (netgain)

Low (2 ATP per glucose)

High (30-38 ATP per glucose)

Processes

Glycolysis and lactic acid fermentation

Glycolysis, Krebs and Electron transport Chain

End Products (Humans)/(waste)

Lactic acid

Carbon dioxide & water

Energy Efficiency

Less efficient (fast, but less energy released

More efficient (slow but more energy released)

Duration

Short bursts of energy

Sustained energy production

Example Activities

Sprinting, weightlifting

Long-distance running, cycling

  1. Distinguish between aerobic and anaerobic respiration, including the presence or absence of oxygen and their respective energy yields.

Anaerobic respiration → fast short pace quick/small energy

  • no oxygen

Aerobic respiration → slow long pace alot of energy

  • oxygen

  1. Outline the chemical processes of glycolysis, Krebs cycle, Electron transport chain

First step: Glycolysis ( Anaerobic))

Location: cytosol

Reactants: 1 glucose

Products: 2 pyruvate and lactic acid (cramps)/

(gets stored in liver but in the presence of oxygen it goes into aerobic respiration) (if no O2)

ATP yield: net gain of 2 (needs 2 atp ut gains 4 atp)

  • Oxygen not required

The rest are Aerobic

Pyruvate oxidation → before entering next stage (precursor)

  • occurs in mitochondrion

  • no atp in this process

  • need oxygen

Second Step: Kerbs ( citric acid cycle)

location: outer membrane (matrix)

Reactants: 2 acetyl CoA ( therfore cycles twice)

Products: 2 CO2, 3.NADH, FADH2 ( of one)

ATP yield: Net gain of 2 (1 per cycle)

  • Oxygen - occurs with

Third Step: Electron transport chain

Location: mitochondria - inner surface

Reactants: NADH and FADH2 → produces during kerbs and glycolysis

Product: H2O

ATP yield: net gain of 26-34

  • oxygen required

Side note:

  • ATP: Energy +ADP + Pi /=/ ATP + H2O

  1. Outline the different end products of aerobic and anaerobic respiration

Different end products of ___ Respiration

  1. Explain how ATP is used in the body as a source of energy

    60% of energy released as heat → body tempreature (homeostasis)

    40% of energy incorporated into ATP

    • Building complex molecules

    • Cell division and growth

    • Movement of cell orangelles

    • Movement of whole cell

    • Maintaing cell organisation

    • Active transport

    • Transmission of nervim

  • ALl anabolic reaction reactions require catabolism of form of ATP to ADP
