Introduction
to Cellular
Respiration
and
Fermentation
Learning Goals
Understand the overall process
of Cellular respiration
Be able to identify the 4 steps of
cellular respiration
Understand how Aerobic and
Anaerobic Respiration function
Be able to explain the process of
Glycolysis
Obligate Aerobe
organism that must have oxygen to
live
Humans, okapi giraffes etc. all need
oxygen to live and carry out cellular
respiration
Obligate Anaerobe
an organism that cannot survive
in an environment with oxygen
Some species of
bacteria/microorganisms cannot live
in the presence of oxygen
Ex Clostridium tetani (bacteria that causes
tetanus). Also, Clostridium Botulinum (bacteria
that causes botulism, and Salmonella enteritis
(causes food poisoning).

Quick Review
Mitochondria:
cell organelle involved in the production of ATP
ETC and Oxidative
Phosphorylation
take place within
the inner membrane
Citric Acid Cycle and
Pyruvate Oxidation take
place within the Matrix
(fluid inside inner
membrane)
What is Phosphorylation
A process whereby cells use enzymes to
oxidize nutrients which in turn release
energy to make ATP
Substrate Level:
Forms some ATP
Direct transfer of Pi to ADP ATP
Oxidative
Forms LOTS of ATP
Indirect transfer of Pi through series of redox
reactions
Alcohol Fermentation
Glycolysis Overview
Occurs in Cytosol (cytoplasm)
Splits 1 Glucose Molecule into 2 Pyruvate
Molecules
Produces 2 ATP
Produces 2 NADH (energy carrier molecule)
