Cellular Respiration: Energy Production in Living Cells
This chapter explores the process of cellular respiration, the main pathway through which cells obtain energy for their functions. It covers the three stages of cellular respiration: glycolysis, citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation. The role of redox reactions and ATP production is also discussed.

Chapter 9 • Cellular Respiration
Living cells • Require transfusions of energy from outside sources to perform their many tasks
Figure 9.1 • The giant panda obtains energy for its cells by eating plants
Light energy ECOSYSTEM Photosynthesisin chloroplasts Organicmolecules CO2 + H2O + O2 Cellular respirationin mitochondria ATP powers most cellular work Heatenergy Figure 9.2 • Energy flows into ecosystem as sunlight, leaves as heat
Catabolic Pathways and Production of ATP • Breakdown of organic molecules is exergonic
Cellular respiration • Most prevalent and efficient catabolic pathway • Consumes O2 and organic molecules e.g. glucose • Yields ATP
Redox Reactions: Oxidation and Reduction • Catabolic pathways yield energy • Due to the transfer of electrons (e-)
Oxidation • Lose e- (oxidized) • Reduction • Gain e-, (reduced)
becomes oxidized(loses electron) Na + Cl Na+ + Cl– becomes reduced(gains electron) • Example of redox reaction
Oxidation of Organic Fuel Molecules During Cellular Respiration • Glucose is oxidized and oxygen is reduced
Stepwise Energy Harvest • Glucose oxidized in a series of steps

The 3 Stages of Cellular Respiration • Glycolysis • Citric acid cycle (Kreb’s cycle) • Oxidative phosphorylation
Glycolysis • Breaks down glucose into two molecules of pyruvate • Citric acid (Kreb’s)cycle • Completes breakdown of glucose
Oxidative phosphorylation • Driven by e- transport chain • Generates ATP
