Cellular Respiration – Ch6

A catabolic, exergonic, oxygen (O2) requiring
process that uses energy extracted from
macromolecules (glucose) to produce energy
(ATP) and water (H2O).
C6H12O6 + 6O2  6CO2 + 6H2O + energy

one reactant to another.
Two types:
1. Oxidation
2. Reduction

3. Krebs Cycle (Citric Acid Cycle)



Location: mitochondrial matrix.
Acetyl CoA (2C) bonds to Oxalacetic acid
(4C - OAA) to make Citrate (6C).
It takes 2 turns of the krebs cycle to
oxidize 1 glucose molecule.

4. Electron Transport Chain (ETC) and
Oxidative Phosphorylation
(Chemiosmosis)



Location: inner mitochondrial membrane.
Uses ETC (cytochrome proteins) and ATP
Synthase (enzyme) to make ATP.
ETC pumps H+ (protons) across innermembrane
(lowers pH in innermembrane space).

(Chemiosmosis)




The H+ then move via diffusion (Proton
Motive Force) through ATP Synthase to make
ATP.
All NADH and FADH2 converted to ATP during
this stage of cellular respiration.
Each NADH converts to 3 ATP.
Each FADH2 converts to 2 ATP (enters the ETC
at a lower level than NADH).
