Note Guide for Campbell BIF Chapter 7: Cellular Respiration and Fermentation
*This chapter gets into a lot of chemistry, and we will break it down together!
Overview & 7.1 - Catabolic pathways yield energy by oxidizing organic fuels
● What do cells need energy for?
● The energy stored in organic molecules ultimately comes from…?
● What is ATP?
● What does the term “catabolic” mean?
● What exactly is cellular respiration?
● What do the terms aerobic and anaerobic m
ean?
● What is the overall chemical equation?
● We will “gloss over” reduction and oxidation, but essentially energy is produced when there is a transfer of electrons. You
will seeNADH and FADH2 - they are electron acceptors that move them around and pass them off to oxygen.
● Which organelle does this chapter focus on?
● Take a look at Figure 7.6, and fill in the blanks:
Summarize its description:
● What are the 3 major steps of cellular respiration (top of pg. 149!), and what happens at each step?
1.
2.
3.
● Which step produces the most ATP?
7.2 - Glycolysis harvests chemical energy by oxidizing glucose to pyruvate
● What does the word glycolysis mean?
● Which cells perform glycolysis?
● Does glycolysis need oxygen to take place? Does glycolysis produce a lot or a little ATP?
7.3 - After pyruvate is oxidized, the citric acid cycle completes the energy-yielding oxidation of organic molecules
● After glycolysis, what happens if oxygen is present?
● Figures 7.10 and 7.11 are showing you the citric acid cycle in different ways. In 2 sentences or less, what is
happening during the citric acid cycle?
7.4 - During oxidative phosphorylation, chemiosmosis couples electron transport to ATP synthesis
● So far, glycolysis and the citric acid cycle only produce 4 ATP molecules per glucose. What then happens during
the electron transport chain?
● What is chemiosmosis?
● What is ATP synthase? What biomolecule group does it belong to, and how do you know?
● Does oxidative phosphorylation produce a lot or a little ATP?
● How efficient is cellular respiration? About what percentage of the potential chemical energy in glucose is
transferred to ATP? What happens to the rest?
● What is a potential benefit for this inefficiency? What is an adaptation that some animals have to take
advantage of this inefficiency?
7.5 - Fermentation and anaerobic respiration enable cells to produce ATP without the use of oxygen
● What is the difference between anaerobic respiration and fermentation?
● Which types of cells do which?
● Compare and contrast the different types of fermentation:
Types of cells that How many ATP
Fermentation: Description:
undergo this process: produced?
Alcoholic
Lactic Acid
● What do fermentation, anaerobic respiration, & aerobic respiration have in common; what is a key difference?
● In 1 sentence, what is the evolutionary significance of glycolysis?
7.6 - Glycolysis and the citric acid cycle connect to many other metabolic pathways
● Humans obtain most of their calories in the form of what kinds of foods?
● What happens to extra protein that is not needed to build new protein? What about extra fats?
● What is the significance of figure 7.18 (what is it trying to show you)?
