Cellular Respiration Explained: Energy Process

1. Cellular respiration is the process by which cells break down glucose and release energy. It occurs in two stages - in the cytoplasm where glucose is broken down, and in the mitochondria where oxygen is used to further break down molecules and release a large amount of energy. 2. When oxygen is limited, cells can undergo fermentation to release energy without oxygen. There are two types - alcoholic fermentation produces alcohol and carbon dioxide, while lactic acid fermentation produces lactic acid in muscle cells. 3. Photosynthesis and cellular respiration have an interdependent relationship, with photosynthesis producing glucose and oxygen from carbon dioxide and water, providing the inputs for cellular respiration which releases carbon dioxide and water.

Lesson 6:
Cellular Respiration
OBJECTIVES
At the end of this lesson, you will be able to:
1. Explain how organisms use cellular respiration to break down food
in order to provide energy.
VOCABULARY
Cellular Respiration
Cellular Respiration
A process in which oxygen and glucose undergo a
series of chemical reactions inside cells, releasing
energy.
Energy and Cellular
Respiration
• Using Energy: when cells need energy, they draw it out by
breaking down the energy–rich compounds
(glucose) through Cellular Respiration.
• Respiration:
Breathing is not Respiration
Breathing is Exchange of Gases
Inhaling: Brings oxygen into your
lungs
Exhaling: Removes the wastes from
your lungs

01
Breaking
sugar
• Occurs in the Cytoplasm
• Glucose is broken down into smaller
molecules and only a small amount of
energy is released
02
Oxygen
usage
• Occurs in the Mitochondrion
The smaller molecules produced in Stage
1 are broken down even more.

They reacts with oxygen and


produces carbon dioxide and water.
A great amount of energy is released,
and the cell can use it for all its
activities
Role of Mitochondria
• The Cell’s POWERHOUSE ( it creates large amounts of
energy)
• The folds inside the organelle create more surface area.
• Chemical reactions occur on these folds.
More surface area

More chemical

Expressing Cellular respiration
Although respiration occurs in a series of complex steps, the
overall process can be summarized in the equation:

OBJECTIVES
At the end of this lesson, you will be able to:
1. Explain how cells can release energy without using oxygen.
2. Compare and contrast between alcoholic fermentation
and lactic acid fermentation.
VOCABULARY
Fermentation
Fermentation
A process in which the cells release
energy from food without using
oxygen

• Without enough oxygen, fermentation takes


Types of fermentation

Alcoholic lactic
Fermentation Fermentation
• Alcoholic
Fermentation:
• Takes place in single-celled
organisms
• This type of fermentation produces
alcohol, carbon dioxide, and a small
amount of energy
• lactic Fermentation:
• Takes place in muscle cells.

• This type of fermentation produces lactic


acid
• Your body supplies energy to your muscle
cells by breaking down glucose without
using oxygen
OBJECTIVES
At the end of this lesson, you will be able to:
1. Compare and contrast photosynthesis and cellular respiration.
2. Understand that living systems follow the Laws of Conservation of
Mass and Energy.
Comparing Two Energy
Processes
• Photosynthesis and cellular respiration can be thought of as
opposite processes.
• The two processes form a cycle, keeping the levels of oxygen
and carbon dioxide molecules relatively stable in Earth’s
atmosphere.
