* Cellular Respiration respiration (system) \neq cellular respiration circulatory system delivers glucose and O_2 picks up CO_2 C_6 H_{12} O_6 + 6O_2 \Rightarrow_{\text{cellular respiration}} 6CO_2 + 6H_2 O + \text{ATP} ** Steps: 1. Glycolysis 2. Kreb's cycle (TCA crycle, citric acid cycle) 3. electron transport chain (coupled with oxidative phosphorylation) ** Aerobic Cell Respiration *** Glycolysis: Conversion of glucose \rightarrow 2 (3C) molecurles (pyruvate) 2 net ATP produced Occurs in cytoplasm Occurs without O_2 NADH (caches 2 electrons) loaded with high energy electrons *** Kreb's Cycle Occurs in mitochondrion O_2 required 2 ATP are produced Carbon completely oxidized to CO_2 NADH and FADH_2 are loaded with high energy electrons *** Electron transport chain: Occurs in mitochondria O_2 is required NADH and FADH_2 unload high energy electron cargo Big ATP payoff (around 25 ATP produced) ** Anaerobic Fermentation Both aerobic and anaerobic do glycoloysis ** Creatine Phosphate Another source of ATP production
