Major ConceptsMajor Concepts
Understand where an organism’s Understand where an organism’s
energy comes from.energy comes from.
Identify how cells store and release Identify how cells store and release
energy known as ATP.energy known as ATP.
Describe how cells obtain energy.Describe how cells obtain energy.
What is ATP??What is ATP??
The energy in our bodies takes the form The energy in our bodies takes the form
of a compound called: of a compound called:
- - AAdenosine denosine TTri-ri-PPhosphatehosphate
For short, we will call it For short, we will call it ATP…ATP…
When you use ATP,When you use ATP,
It turns into ADPIt turns into ADP
The Source of EnergyThe Source of Energy
GLUCOSEGLUCOSE is the primary source for all is the primary source for all
the energy in your body.the energy in your body.
YOU EAT……Your body breaks down the YOU EAT……Your body breaks down the
starches you eat into glucose, a simple starches you eat into glucose, a simple
sugar.sugar.
Two Kinds of RespirationTwo Kinds of Respiration
Cellular respiration can be done Cellular respiration can be done withwith or or
withoutwithout oxygen…oxygen…
Aerobic Respiration:Aerobic Respiration: requires oxygen requires oxygen
Anaerobic Respiration:Anaerobic Respiration: does not does not
require oxygenrequire oxygen
Anaerobic RespirationAnaerobic Respiration
Step #1:Step #1: Split the Glucose Split the Glucose up into two up into two
smaller molecules called smaller molecules called Pyruvic AcidsPyruvic Acids……
Pyruvic acid is a Pyruvic acid is a 3 Carbon 3 Carbon compoundcompound
If there is If there is nono oxygen available, one of oxygen available, one of
two things can happen to the pyruvic two things can happen to the pyruvic
acids…acids…
Fermentation – Two KindsFermentation – Two Kinds
Alcoholic Fermentation (Single celled/Plants)Alcoholic Fermentation (Single celled/Plants)
Making AlcoholMaking Alcohol

Making Lactic AcidMaking Lactic Acid
Human cells do this… in their muscles with out oxygenHuman cells do this… in their muscles with out oxygen

Step #1 - GlycolysisStep #1 - Glycolysis
GlycolysisGlycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm occurs in the cytoplasm
It requires It requires splitting glucosesplitting glucose into 2 into 2
Pyruvic Acids…just like fermentationPyruvic Acids…just like fermentation
By doing this, you get By doing this, you get 2 ATP 2 ATP moleculesmolecules
Step #2-The Krebs CycleStep #2-The Krebs Cycle
