Aerobic cellular respiration is a series of
chemical reactions
Section 6.1
Overall:
C6H12O6 + O2 → CO2 + H2O + ATP
The reactants are glucose
and oxygen.
The products are carbon
dioxide, water, and ATP.

Cellular respiration occurs in stages
Section 6.2
Cellular respiration
releases energy from
glucose in a series of small
steps.
If all the energy were
released at once, much of
it would be lost as heat.
The small steps make
cellular respiration more
efficient.

Stage 1 is glycolysis
Section 6.2
Glycolysis means “splitting
of glucose.”
During glycolysis, 1
molecule of glucose is
split into 2 three-carbon
molecules of pyruvate.
These reactions release 2
molecules of ATP.

Section 6.2
In the transition step, the 2
molecules of pyruvate are
converted into 2 molecules
of Acetyl CoA.
This reaction releases 2
molecules of 𝐂𝐎 𝟐.

Inside mitochondria, the
Acetyl CoA molecules are
disassembled during the
Krebs cycle.
Energy from Acetyl CoA is
transferred to electrons.
These reactions release 2
molecules of 𝐂𝐎 𝟐.
These reactions release 2

Stage 3 is the electron transport chain
Section 6.2
Electrons are unloaded into
the electron transport chain,
where the potential energy in
the electrons is used to
produce more ATP.
These reactions require
oxygen and release water.
These reactions release 34
molecules of ATP.

Glycolysis: many steps to yield
ATP and Pyruvate

Glycolysis requires an
input of two ATP to
“activate” glucose.
The activated glucose is
then converted into two
intermediate
molecules...

Section 6.5
The two pyruvate
molecules produced in
glycolysis undergo an
oxidation reaction as they
enter the mitochondrion
(this is sometimes called
the transition step).

A carbon atom is stripped
from each pyruvate, and
leaves the cell as a carbon
dioxide (CO2)molecule.
At the same time, NAD
+
is
reduced to NADH.

The ETC creates a H+ gradient
Section 6.5
Like in Photosynthesis, as electrons travel through the transport
chain, carrier molecules use the potential energy of the electrons
to pump hydrogen ions (protons) into the intermembrane
compartment of a mitochondrion.

ETC: ATP synthase forms ATP
Section 6.5
Like in Photosynthesis, hydrogen ions move down their
concentration gradient from the intermembrane compartment
into the mitochondrial matrix and pass through the enzyme ATP
synthase.
ATP synthase
produces ATP via
chemiosmotic
phosphorylation.

ETC requires oxygen
Section 6.5
At the end of the transport chain, electrons are donated to an
oxygen atom, which combines with hydrogens to form water.
Oxygen is the final
electron acceptor.
Without it, the
chain shuts down.

Other food molecules enter the
energy-extracting pathways
Section 6.7
Proteins and fats are also used
as energy sources for the cell.
• Components of fats can be
converted to pyruvate or
acetyl CoA.
• Amino acids from proteins
can be converted to pyruvate,
Acetyl CoA or Krebs cycle
intermediates.

molecules to simple molecules
Breakdown of simple
molecules to pyruvate and/or
acetyl CoA, accompanied by
production of limited ATP and
NADH
Complete oxidation of acetyl
CoA to H2O and CO2
produces ATP and much
NADH and FADH2, which in
turn yield ATP via electron
transport and chemiosmosis.

Many prokaryotes use anaerobic
respiration.
Anaerobic respiration includes
Krebs cycle and an ETC. The ETC
uses electron acceptor
