CELLULAR RESPIRATION• Process used by ALL

organisms perform to make energy for the cell

• MITOCHONDRIA perform cellular respiration

• Energy that the cells produce is in the form of ATP

ATP• Stands for adenosine

triphosphate• ATP is the form of energy

that cells use

CELLULAR RESPIRATION EQUATION

CELLULAR RESPIRATION EQUATION

Oxygen + Glucose Carbon Dioxide + Water + ATP

TYPES OF CELLULAR RESPIRATION• Aerobic – uses oxygen to produce

ATP (energy)•Produces 36 ATP

• Anaerobic – does NOT use oxygen to produce ATP (energy)•Produces 2 ATP•2 Types•Alcoholic Fermentation• Lactic Acid Fermentation

ALCOHOLIC FERMENTATIONWhen alcohol is produced in a system CO2 is released

This CO2 can be converted in your cells to O2

The O2 will be used in your system to fuel other reactions

Example: yeast cells and grape juice mixed in a closed container will release CO2, no oxygen required

Often occurs in plants

LACTIC ACID FERMENTATIONCreated in your muscles as a result of strenuous exercise

The lactic acid build up will be converted to your cells and used as an oxygen source over time

If you are experiencing muscle fatigue, you may have lactic acid build up because your body has not converted the lactic acid into your cell as quickly as it is building up

This is an ongoing processBuild up of acid can be converted to O2

Often occurs in muscle cells
