respiration S: Describe pathways of electron flow in the
absence of oxygen
A: Appreciate the value of oxygen in our lives by
giving its importance
LEARNING COMPETENCY:
Describe the role of oxygen in respiration and describe pathways
of electron flow in the absence of oxygen (STEM_BIO11/12-IIa-j-

I.WHAT HAPPENED
We know that we need oxygen to live.
But why? This oxygen is an essential
component for the optimal production of
usable energy which occurs through cellular
respiration.

Take a deep breath in and gently exhale for five times.
Every day, all day and all night, our lungs inhale and
exhale air.
Questions:
A. What gas did you inhale?
B. What gas did you exhale?
C. What system in your body is responsible for breathing?
D. What do you call the process of breathing in and out?

II. WHAT I NEED TO
KNOW
DISCUSSION
Many people would answer that oxygen is needed to make
carbon dioxide, the gas exhaled or released by each of the
respiratory systems listed above. However, CO2 is a waste product.
There must be more to this story than just gas exchange with
the environment. You know that humans deprived of oxygen for
more than a few minutes will quickly become unconscious and die.
Oxygen is the final electron acceptor of the electron transport chain
in the final step of cellular respiration. Oxygen combines with
electrons and hydrogen ions to produce water.
Breathing, also known as respiration, is essential for human
life, because the body cannot store oxygen for later use as it does
food. Respiration rate correlates with energy use, and that
correlation reflects the link between oxygen and energy metabolism.
For this reason, the chemical process inside your cells that
consume oxygen to produce usable energy is known as cellular
respiration. During this process, energy is converted from glucose, in
the presence of oxygen, into numerous ATP molecules. The glucose,
of course, comes from the food you eat. In biological terms, you do
not eat because you are hungry, you eat to get energy.

Cellular respiration is the process cells use to make energy. Our
body cells need oxygen to do this process, although other
organisms, like yeast or bacteria, don't always need it. Cellular
respiration can occur both aerobically (using oxygen) or
anaerobically (without oxygen).
All body cells engage in cellular respiration. They use oxygen
and glucose, a sugar found in the foods we eat and convert them to
ATP (adenosine triphosphate), or cellular energy, and carbon
dioxide. Although this process can be represented by a single
equation, there are actually many small steps that take place before
we actually use oxygen to get ATP.
The three stages of aerobic cellular respiration are glycolysis
(an anaerobic process), the Krebs cycle, and oxidative
phosphorylation.
Aerobic respiration
Aerobic respiration refers to the metabolic pathways by which
organisms break down glucose to produce ATP. Respiration involves
four different pathways, each pathway feeding into the next.
Ultimately, respiration results in the complete oxidation of glucose
and the transfer of energy from the chemical bonds of glucose to the
chemical bonds of ATP.
Aerobic respiration happens in the presence of oxygen. In the
absence of oxygen, some organisms go through a process called
fermentation, which allows them to produce energy under anaerobic
conditions. Fermentation produces relatively less energy than
respiration, because fermentation does not result in the complete
oxidation of glucose.

Metabolic Pathways
Metabolism refers to the sum total of the biochemical reactions
that take place within an organism. Metabolic reactions are useful
primarily for two reasons: 1) they allow energy to be stored,
transferred or released in useable amounts, and 2) they synthesize
and break down important carbon molecules, such as the 12 key
intermediates and macromolecules. Metabolic pathways occur in a
series of enzyme- catalyzed steps, so that small amounts of energy
are invested or released at each step. In addition, having multiple
steps makes it possible to more effectively control a pathway and
allows more flexibility to link to other metabolic pathways.

Electron Transport Phosphorylation
NADH and FADH2 carry electrons to specialized cell
membranes, where they are harvested to create ATP. Once the
electrons are used, they become depleted and must be removed
from the body. Oxygen is essential for this task. Used electrons bind
with oxygen; these molecules eventually bind with hydrogen to form
water.
