Lecture#9
Objectives
By the end of this lecture you should be
familiar with:
How the cells make ATP through:
Glycolysis
Krebs cycle
Electron transport phosphorylation
All organisms produce ATP by releasing
energy stored in glucose and other
sugars.
2 FADH2 is generated
8 NADH
2 FADH2
2 ATP
6 CO2
Electron Transport
Phosphorylation (Chemiosmosis)
Goal: to break down NADH and FADH2,
pumping H+ into the outer compartment of the
mitochondria
4 + 24 + 4 = 32
Plant cell vs. Animal cell
Animal cells and Plant cells contain mitochondria!
However, animal cells contain many more
mitochondria than plant cells
Animal cells get most of their ATP from
mitochondria
Plant cells get most of their ATP from the
chloroplast
The ATP generated from the mitochondria is
only used when the plant cannot generate
ATP directly from the light-dependent reactions
