    Cellular respiration involves several metabolic pathways that break down glucose and other fuels to produce ATP. Oxygen is reduced to water during this process. The electron transport chain located in the mitochondria produces ATP through chemiosmosis. Glycolysis breaks down glucose into pyruvate in the cytosol without oxygen. The Krebs cycle then completes the breakdown of glucose to carbon dioxide and produces 2 ATP. Oxidative phosphorylation, occurring in the mitochondria, accounts for most ATP production through the electron transport chain.

    CELLULAR RESPIRATION

    CELLULAR RESPIRATION
    IN CELLULAR RESPIRATION:
    Oxygen is reduced to water
    Has electron transport chain located within the
    cristae of the mitochondria, where ATP is
    produced by chemiosmosis
    Has enzyme-catalyzed reactions within the semi-
    fluid interior
    A carbohydrate is oxidized to carbon dioxide
    Glycolysis- means “sugar-splitting” that occurs
    in the cytosol of the cell. It does not require
    oxygen to breakdown glucose into pyruvate.
    Krebs cycle- completes the metabolic
    breakdown of glucose to carbon dioxide and
    produces 2 ATP.
    Oxidative phosphorylation- a process occurring
    in mitochondria and accounts for majority of the
    ATP production.
    Electron Transport Chain- contains the chain
    members (carrier and protein complexes, ATP synthase
    complex and ATP channel protein. These membrane
    proteins shuttle electrons during the redox reactions.
    The electrons will be used to produce ATP by
    chemiosmosis.
    NADH and FADH2- these are electron acceptor
    molecules that contain high-energy electrons. They
    transport the electrons to ETC to produce many more
    ATPs by oxidative phosphorylation.
    ATP synthase- is an enzyme that is
    responsible for the great production of ATPs.
    This happens when it uses the energy coming
    from H+ ions to bind ADP and phosphate
    group together to produce ATP.
    TASK 1.
    TASK 2.
    TASK 3.
    A. Directions: This is a modified TRUE or FALSE activity.
    Write the word TRUE if the underlined word/phrase being referred to is
    correct. If it is FALSE, change the word/phrase to make the whole
    statement correct based on the concept of cellular respiration. Write your
    answer on a separate sheet of paper.
    1. Fermentation and anaerobic respiration enable the cells to produce ATP
    without the use of oxygen.
    2. The term cellular respiration includes both aerobic and anaerobic
    processes.
    3. Fermentation is a complete degradation of sugars or other fuel that
    occurs without the use of oxygen.
    4. An electron transport system consists of a number of
    molecules, majority are proteins, located in the matrix of
    the mitochondria of eukaryotic cells and the plasma
    membrane of aerobic prokaryotes.
    5. Pyruvate oxidation and the citric acid cycle, oxidative
    phosphorylation: electron transport chain and
    chemiosmosis are the metabolic stages reserved for
    cellular respiration.
    6. The breakdown of glucose to carbon dioxide is
    completed in the electron transport chain.
    7. ATP synthase is the enzyme that makes the bulk of the
    ATP from ADP and Pi by chemiosmosis.
    8. ATP synthase uses the energy of an existing hydrogen
    ion gradient to power ATP synthesis.
    9. Phosphorylation of ADP to form ATP stores at least
    14.6 kcal per molecule of ATP.
    10.Citric acid cycle generates 2 ATP whether oxygen is
    present or not, whether the conditions are aerobic or
    anaerobic.
