Cellular Respiration and Fermentation

Facts to Remember
1. Cellular respiration is a catabolic series of reactions.
2. All living forms conduct some form of cellular respiration, either aerobic or anaerobic.
a. Aerobic is in the presence of oxygen
b. Anaerobic is in the absence of oxygen or none oxygen requiring.

3. The starting molecules consist of the biological molecules with carbohydrates (monosaccharides) as the first choice. The order of use is given below.
a. Carbohydrates
b. Lipids„³acetyl CoA (via beta oxidation)„³ enters Krebs at the start site
c. Proteins„³amino acids-„³ enters glycolysis, transitional step or Krebs (point of entry is determine the carbon chain)
d. Nucleotides„³five carbon sugars„³ six carbon sugars

4. Cellular respiration and fermentation produce energy in the form of ATP and key intermediates needed for anabolic reactions.
5. Cellular respiration and fermentation are redox reactions.
