    1) A candy bar is digested into glucose which provides energy but in a form cells cannot use directly. 2) Cells transform glucose through cellular respiration into ATP, which cells can use to power biological processes. 3) Cellular respiration involves three main stages - glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain - where glucose is broken down and electrons are transferred to finally synthesize ATP using a process called oxidative phosphorylation.

    Cellular Respiration

    Or How My Candy Bar Becomes ATP

    Our story begins with candy bars.


    A candy bar is chewed up and digested by enzymes in
    our body to form our hero.

    Glucose has plenty of energy. The cell needs


    energy, but not like that. It must transform.

    Transform Into What?


    The answer is

    ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) looks


    like:

    What is ATP used for?


    Making stuff (proteins, etc.)
    Transporting stuff (active transport, etc.)
    Running molecular machines (muscle fibers and so much
    more)

    How is glucose transformed into


    ATP?
    1. Glycolysis: glucose is split into two
    halves called pyruvates.
    2. Krebs Cycle: pyruvates are broken
    down to CO2, making NADH
    3. Electron Transport Chain: Electrons
    from NADH activate proton pumps in the
    electron transport chain.
    These protons then activate ATP synthase as

    Step 1: Glycolysis
    This step
    takes
    place in
    the
    cytoplas
    m.

    Pyruvic acid becomes acetyl-CoA, which


    enters the mitochondria (evolved bacteria)

    Step 2: Krebs Cycle


    Acetyl CoA is
    broken down to
    CO2
    High energy
    electron carriers are
    made (mostly
    NADH)

    Step 3: Electron Transport Chain and


    Oxidative Phosphorylation
    (Chemiosmosis)

    How does ATP Synthase work?


    It is a molecular motor.
