3. What is the common
misconception?
Respiration is NOT……..
4. Respiration
“Controlled Release of Energy”
Production of ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate)
from organic molecules.
Occurs within the cells of ALL organisms.
5. Aerobic Cell Respiration – Requires Oxygen
Summary Equation
Glucose + Oxygen = ENERGY (ATP) + Carbon Dioxide + Water
Raw Materials Waste Products
Anaerobic Cell Respiration – Oxygen is not
used
Animals (including humans)
Glucose ENERGY (ATP) + Lactate (lactic acid)
Yeast Cells
Glucose ENERGY (ATP) + Ethanol +Carbon Dioxide

22. Aerobic Respiration -
Overview
• Stages in the Aerobic respiration:
• Link Reaction: Pyruvate is transported into
the matrix of the mitochondria.
• Krebs cycle: carbon fragments (C2) are
progressively decarboxylated to yield ATP and
reduced coenzymes.
• Electron Transport System (Oxidative
phosphorylation in terms of chemiosmosis):
reduced coenzymes are used to generate
more ATP.

The Proton StoryThe Proton Story
40. •In the mitochondrial matrix electrons from NADH
and FADH are transferred down Electron
Transport Chains (use of coenzymes and
enzymes). As a result the H+ ions ( protons) are
transferred from the matrix into the inter
membrane space through proton pumps.
•H+ build up in the inter membrane space and
create and electrochemical gradient.
•H+ flow back into the matrix through ATP
synthetase. This releases energy which allows
phosphorylation of ADP to ATP in the matrix.

53. Anaerobic Respiration – Lactic
Acid Fermentation
• When do humans use lactic acid
fermentation?
• Lactic acid is poisonous, what happens
to lactic acid after it has been
produced?
54. When our bodies convert
from aerobic to anaerobic
respiration, we start
making lactic acid.
As soon as this begins, the
body starts building an
oxygen debt.
This is equivalent to the
amount of oxygen it would
have used if aerobic
respiration had continued.
Oxygen Debt - Lactic acid
