Review: Producers
Producers get their
energy from the sun.
Producers convert this
light energy into
stored chemical
energy (glucose).
This process is called
photosynthesis.

Review: Consumers
Consumers get their
energy from the
producers.
Consumers convert
stored chemical
energy (glucose) into
usable chemical
energy (ATP).
This process is called
cellular respiration.

Cellular Respiration (aerobic)
Cellular respiration is the process by which
glucose (C6H12O6) is broken down to
release energy for making ATP, another
form of chemical energy.

Aerobic Respiration – Equation
C6H12O6 + 6 O2 6 H2O + 6 CO2 + 36 ATP

BioTheme: Interdependence!
Photosynthesis:
6 H2O + 6 CO2 + energy (sun) → C6H12O6 + 6 O2
Aerobic Cellular Respiration:
C6H12O6 + 6 O2 → 6 H2O + 6 CO2 + energy (ATP)

Why ATP? An analogy to money…
Glucose in our food is a great source of energy! ($100 bill)
However, individual cell processes may only require a small
amount of energy ($1 bill)
Analogy: most vending machines do not accept $100 bills!
We need a smaller form of “currency” for these processes.
ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is this important cellular
“currency” for life.
ATP releases more appropriate amounts of energy for the
individual cellular processes that require energy.
(We will study this molecule in detail in our next activity!)

The BIG Question is…
Do only animals respire?
Or do plants respire too?
Only plants perform photosynthesis
Plants AND animals perform cellular
respiration!
(Can you explain why??)

Site of Cellular Respiration
Plant and animal cells contain mitochondria: cell
structures that transform chemical energy from
glucose to ATP.
10. Biology

Significant ATP Production
Aerobic cellular respiration releases energy
SLOWLY, using oxygen to convert ONE
molecule of glucose to 36 ATP!

Cellular Respiration (anaerobic)
What happens when cells don’t have enough oxygen?
Some organisms live in an oxygen-free environment.
How do they get their energy?
12. Biology
Science Department
Deerfield High School
Cellular Respiration (anaerobic)
Anaerobic respiration is also called
fermentation, or the process by which
energy is released from glucose when
oxygen is NOT available.
This process allows organisms to continue
to produce energy until oxygen is available.
However, this process only releases 2 ATP
per molecule of glucose.

Alcoholic Fermentation
Anaerobic way of converting energy for
yeast and other microorganisms
Glucose broken down to produce alcohol,
CO2 and energy (ATP)
C6H12O6 ethanol + CO2 + 2 ATP
EX: baking bread with yeast
fermenting wine & beer
14. Biology
Science Department
Deerfield High School
Fermentation - Bread
Source of sugar?
DOUGH! (sugar and/or flour)
Yeast use up the O2 and ferment sugar
Produce CO2, which is trapped within
tiny bubbles & results in the dough rising
Produce ethanol, which evaporates in the
baking process
15. Biology

Deerfield High School
Fermentation - Wine
Source of sugar?
GRAPES!
Yeast use up the O2 and ferment sugar
Produce CO2 (kept only in champagne)
Produce ethanol (% alcohol varies based on
sugar content of grapes and # of fermentations)
16. Biology
Science Department
Deerfield High School
Fermentation - Beer
Source of sugar?
BARLEY!
Yeast use up the O2 and ferment sugar
Hops are added as a preservative
and for added flavor
Produce CO2 and ethanol also
Various carbohydrates can be used to make
alcohol – including wheat, rice, and potatoes!

Lactic Acid Fermentation
Anaerobic way of converting energy in
animal cells and some microorganisms
Glucose broken down to produce lactic
acid, CO2 and energy (ATP)
C6H12O6 lactic acid + CO2 + 2 ATP
EX: muscle cells during strenuous exercise
fermenting cheese, yogurt, sour cream
19. Biology
Science Department
Deerfield High School
Strenuous Exercise
Lactic acid is produced by your muscle
cells during rapid exercise when the body
cannot supply enough O2 to tissues.
Without enough O2, the body is NOT able
to produce all of the ATP that is required.
The buildup of lactic acid can cause painful
burning in your muscles!
20. Biology

Minimal ATP Production
In the absence of oxygen, anaerobic
respiration only releases 2 ATP for each
molecule of glucose broken down.
21. Biology
Science Department
Deerfield High School
Comparing ATP Production
First, your body breaks down glucose through
aerobic respiration to produce 36 ATP per
glucose molecule; however, this is a slow process.
When muscle cells cannot get enough O2 they
break down glucose through lactic acid
fermentation to produce 2 ATP per glucose…
Therefore, AEROBIC RESPIRATION is much
more efficient in terms of ATP production –
36 ATP compared to 2 ATP!

Can increase the size and number of
mitochondria in muscle cells
Can increase the delivery of O2 to muscles by
improving the heart and lungs

Anaerobic Training

quick bursts of energy
Increase the glycogen levels in the muscles
Increase body’s tolerance to lactic acid
