Cellular Respiration
Definition – Biochemical process by which energyrich substrate molecules (foodstuff) are
progressively broken down in enzymatic pathways
to form adenosine triphosphate (ATP, high energy
compound)
Foodstuff is usually glucose. Glucose is broken
down in a series of enzyme controlled steps.
Hydrogen and high energy electrons are removed
by dehydrogenase enzymes and used to yield ATP.
What is ATP?
Adenosine Triphosphate is a molecule
composed of:
Guess what it
would be called
• 1 x Adenosine (adenosine)
with only 2
• 3 x inorganic phosphate (Pi)
phosphates? 1

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP)
• Main energy carrier molecule in the body (and all
living things).
• ATP is used to transfer (links) the energy released
(catabolic) from cellular respiration to synthetic
pathways (anabolic) and other cellular processes

ATP
• 2 million molecules of ATP per second is
needed to satisfy energy requirements for an
active cell (such as liver/muscle etc)!
• How and where is it stored?
Glucose (6C)
ATP
ATP
• Not stored! Rapid turnover of ATP molecules
occurs continuously in a cell.
• Remains quite constant as the same amount is
made that is used up (~50g)
• Cell conserves resources by only producing ATP
when needed – it is another example of feedback
inhibition .
• ATP and citric acid inhibit phosphofructikinase
Phosphorylation at step 1
Other metabolic pathways
(eg. stored as glycogen)
ADP+ Pi

Phosphorylation
• Phosphorylation is process which is enzyme
controlled where a phosphate group (Pi) is added
to a molecule.

ADP +Pi
Phosphorylation
• Not only making ATP is called phophorylation
(remember post translational modifiction of
proteins), also when Pi from ATP given to
another molecule in a metabolic pathway it
makes them more reactive. For example
glucose in glycolysis ......
ATP
Glucose
ADP +Pi
Glucose-6-phosphate
(high energy)
• The phosphorylation of molecules to alter
their reactivity.
Advantages of ATP
 Instant source of energy in the cell
 Releases energy in small amounts as needed
 It is mobile and transports chemical energy to
where it is needed IN the cell
 Universal energy carrier and can be used in
many different chemical reactions
