Cellular Respiration Comic
Storyboard Text
- Welcome aboard the Cellular Respiration Train! Today we will get a up-close and personal tour of the process!
- Can't wait to see C6H12O6 and O2 be converted to 6CO2+6H2O+34-36 AT
- Carbon Dioxide
- ATP, ready to catalyze reactionto break downglucose!
- Welcome to the cytoplasm!The glucose breakdown factory!
- Glucose, ready tobe broken down!
- 2 Acetyl CoA
- Looks like the inputs for glycolysis are coming aboard!
- NAD+, ready to receive electrons!
- Carbon Dioxide
- 2 Pyruvate Acids
- Wow! So cool!We will see the ATP's and the NADH's later again at the electron transport chain!
- ATP (net 2)
- Time for the krebs cycle?
- 2 Acetyl CoA
- The excess hydrogen from this reaction will become water once it meets up with O2
- NADH, now with an energized electron!
- Almost! Only if there is oxygen to oxidize the Pyruvate Acids!
- (H+)I an volatile where is my O2?
- 2 pyruvate acids
- Welcome to the Mitochondria Matrix complex!
- They need to be Oxidized! Then they will become Acetyl CoA!
- O2
- Before we step out to do observe the kreb cycle, what needs to happen to these pyruvate acids?
- Acetyl CoANow I am ready to undergothe krebscycle!
- FADH2
- FAD+
- Wow! So cool to see how they pass around 2 Acetyl CoA
- 2 ATP
- Krebs Field
- Indeed! See all the different electron transporters? We will see them in the next phase!
- NAD+
- NADH
- FADH2
- FAD+
- What happens to the Carbon Dioxide and ATP
- 2 ATP
- Krebs Field
- Great question! The CO2 is breathed out as excess, and the ATP travels to the next phase, the ETC
- NAD+
- NADH
