LACTIC FERMENTATION (ANEROBIC)

The lactic fermentation process takes place in the muscles of animals an

d humans bacteria and some fungi.
this process can only occur if oxygen is not present (anerobic)
This converts sugars (glucose, fructose, sucrose) into cellular energy
pyuvatave is converted into a 3- carbon molecule (pyuvative +
NADH+)
___________________________________________
ATP (Adenosine triphosphate)- the unuseable form of energy produced by r
espiration
- 3 phospate groups
- negative charge
- when energy is needed the bond b/t the 3 is broken and
the energy is released
AMP (Adenosine monophospate)- one phospate
ADP (Adenosine diphospate)- two phospates
________________________________________________
ALCOHOLIC FERMENTATION (ANEROBIC)
takes place in foods
Waste products of ethanol and CO2 (bread, bear, wine)
gluten- long strand of protein
Alcohol is converted into sugars
myoglobin- special oxygen holding molecule
RESPIRATION- THE PROCESS IN WHICH ORGANISMS BURN FOOD TO PRODUCE ENERGY WITH THE
PRESENCE OF O2 the process of making ATP and breaking it down
_________________________________________________________________
Glycolysis (glucose breaking)- the 1st step in aerobic and anerobic respiration
takes place in the cytoplasm of the cell
ATP splits glucose molecules into a 3- carbon compound called pyuvate
ATP produces energy a molecule called NADH
Glycolysis splits glucose, a six-carbon compound, into two pyruvate mole
cules, each of which has three carbons
________________________________________________
THE KREBS CYCLE- pyuvate sugars transported to mitochondria
during this cycle the 3- carbon is pyuvate is created into a 2-carbon mo
lecule called acetate
extra carbon is released and sent off to create more ATP
acetyl-CoA then undergoes eight chemical reactions that strip carbons to
produce a new oxaloacetate molecule. The extra carbon atoms are expelled as CO2
(the Krebs cycle is the source of the carbon dioxide you exhale). In the proces
s of breaking up citric acid, energy is produced. It is stored in ATP, NADH, and
FADH2. The NADH and FADH2 proceed on to the electron transport chain.
FADH2 help produce less ATP

ELECTRON TRANSPORT CHAIN
3 protein pumps found in the membrane of the mitochodndria powered by F
ADH2 and NADH
pumps diffuse +H and creates a gradient concentration
The waste products from the powering of the electron transport chain pro
tein pumps combine with oxygen to produce water molecules. By accepting these wa
ste products, oxygen frees NAD+ and FAD to play their roles in the Krebs cycle a
nd the electron transport chain.

1.............Glycolysis
2.............Krebs Cycle (Citric Acid Cycle)
3.............Electron Transport Chain
