Consumers or Heterotrophs
Producers or Autotrophs (Photoautotrophs)
Decomposers

10. The Flow of Energy or How
Organisms Relate
• Photoautotrophs
synthesize high energy
organic molecules during
photosynthesis
• Both photoautotrophs and
heterotrophs use such
organic molecules to
obtain energy (ATP)
through cellular
respiration for fueling
cellular work

11. Participants in Metabolic Pathways
• Substrate:

Anaerobic Respiration
• Anaerobic Respiration: 2 ATP’s
produced.
• Commonly known diseases caused by
anaerobic bacteria include gas
gangrene, tetanus, and botulism.
Nearly all dental infections are caused
by anaerobic bacteria.
• Anaerobic bacteria can cause an
infection when a normal barrier (such
as skin, gums, or intestinal wall) is
damaged due to surgery, injury, or
disease. Body sites that have tissue
destruction (necrosis) or a poor blood
supply are low in oxygen and favor the
growth of anaerobic bacteria.
• Anaerobic organisms perform
anaerobic respiration

24. Steps of Aerobic Respiration

25. Where does aerobic respiration
occur?

26. Steps of Aerobic Respiration:
Glycolysis
• All organisms (anaerobic and
anaerobic) break down
glucose trough the process of
glycolysis, which occurs in the
cell’s cytoplasm
• Only aerobic organism process
the products of glycolysis to
obtain further amounts of ATP
• Glucose is actively transported
into the cell and
phosphorylated (step 1),
process that turns on
glycolysis

27. Steps of Aerobic Respiration:
Glycolysis
• 2 molecules of
pyruvate are
produced per
molecule of glucose
• A net of 2 ATP per
molecule of glucose
are produced in
glycolysis

28. Steps of Aerobic Respiration:
Krebs Cycle
• The Krebs cycle
accomplishes two
important functions:
the production of
multiple intermediate
products, and of
electron donors
(NADH, FADH2)

29. Steps of Aerobic Respiration:
Krebs Cycle
• The Krebs Cycle occurs in the
mitochondrial matrix
• It is initiated when one
molecule of pyruvate is
transported into the
mitochondrion by an oxygen
dependent transport protein
• Upon entering the
mitochondrion, pyruvate is
turned into acetyl CoA, which
initiates the cycle
• CO2 is produced and will
eventually leave the
mitochondrial matrix and
collect in blood vessels

31. Steps of Aerobic Respiration:
Krebs Cycle
• Per molecule of
pyruvate, 1 ATP, 1
FADH2, 3 CO2, and 4
NADH are produced
• NADH and FADH2 will
initiate the last step of
aerobic respiration,
the electron transport
phosphorylation
system (ETPS).

32. Steps of Aerobic Respiration:
ETPS
• ETPS consists of a series of
proteins located in the inner
mitochondrial membrane
• NADH and FADH2 link
glycolysis and the Krebs cycle
to the machinery that produces
large amounts of ATP
• NADH and FADH2 turn on the
ETPS. Electrons cascade
down the chain from one
protein to the next until they
finally reach the molecule of
oxygen, the final acceptor
• As electrons cascade down,
protons are released

33. Steps of Aerobic Respiration:
ETPS
• As proteins release H+ in
the intermembrane
space, they produce a
gradient of H+, which
activates ATP synthase,
the enzyme that produces
about 32-34 ATP
molecules.
Chemiosmosis refers to
the activation of ATP
synthase by a H+
gradient.
