Cellular Respiration uses oxygen and glucose to
produce Carbon dioxide, water, and ATP.

How efficient is cell respiration?
Energy released from glucose banked in ATP
Energy released from glucose (as heat and light)
Gasoline energy converted to movement

Reduction and Oxidation
OILRIG Oxidation is losing electrons Reduction
is gaining electrons
Loss of hydrogen atoms
Energy
Glucose
Gain of hydrogen atoms
Glucose gives off energy and is oxidized
6
Reduction and Oxidation OILRIG Gain
or loss of electrons is often in the form of
hydrogen. The hydrogen is then passed to a
coenzyme such as NAD
7
Reduction and Oxidation What are some common
co-enzymes? NAD and FAD
NAD 2 H ? NADH H
FAD 2 H ? FADH2
Remember that H 2 electrons and 2H
8
Reduction and Oxidation These co-enzymes are
very important for cell respiration because they
transfer high-energy electrons to electron
transport systems (ETS).
9
Reduction and Oxidation As the electrons move
from carrier to carrier, energy is released in
small quantities.
Electron transport system (ETS)
10
Generation of ATP There are two ways to
generate ATP Chemiosmosis Substrate-Level
Phosphorylation
11
Generation of ATP Chemiosmosis
Cells use the energy released by falling
electrons in the ETS to pump H ions across a
membrane Uses the enzyme ATP synthase.

CHEMIOSMOSIS

• The coupling of ATP synthesis to electron
  transport via a concentration gradient.
• It is the MECHANISM for oxidative phosphorylation
  in Aerobic C.R. and Photosynthesis

Electron Transport System
For each glucose molecule that enters cellular
respiration, chemiosmosis produces up to 38 ATP
molecules
