CELLULAR RESPIRATION
- What is Cellular Respiration?
- The transformation of glucose into energy we can use- ATP!
- A long and tedious process.
- Glycolysis
- Does not require oxygen
- Does not occur in the mitochondria- it happens in the cytoplasm
- Used by both prokaryotes and eukaryotes
- Releases 2ATP
- Enough for single-celled things, but not for people!
- Also releases a small amount of ethanol- which is why you get cramps when you work out. Your body has to switch to glycolysis
- See diagram
- Oxidation of Pyruvate
- Occurs in the mitochondrial matrix
- Sometimes hooked up with krebs cycle
- Krebs Cycle
- I don't really know. Takes place in the MATRIX of the mitochondria. It's really really annoying though. Behold.
- Electron Transport Chain
- Produces MASSIVE amounts of ATP
- In the Mitochondrial Membrane
- Only done by eukaryotes (same for steps 2 and 3, but I didn't say that.
