Respiration
Introduction
• Organisms require a constant input of energy
• Metabolism: sum of all chemical reactions in a living system
• Anabolic: Larger molecules built from smaller ones (chapter 7)
• Catabolic: smaller molecules from larger molecules (chapter 7)
• Biochemical Pathway: Series of chemical reactions starting with one
molecule which is converted to another molecule often requiring
multiple steps:
• Photosynthesis: CO2 + H2O +sunlight -> Glucose + O2 (chapter 10)
• Respiration: Glucose + O2 -> CO2 + H2O + ATP
ATP: Adenosine Triphosphate
• During respiration energy is extracted from glucose and
transferred to ATP
• Energy stored between 2nd and 3rd phosphate of ATP
• ADP + Pi -> ATP (Pi = phosphate)
catabolic or anabolic?
Pathways Of Respiration
• Respiration consists of a series of biochemical pathways
• 3 major pathways in series (pg167):
