Chemical Energy and Food A lot of energy in food- one gram of glucose has 3811 calories A calorie is the amount of energy it takes to raise 1 gram of water 1 degree Celsius A food calorie (also called a Kilocalorie-kcal) is equal to 1000 “chemistry” calories

Chemical Energy and food cont… Cells do not burn glucose- they gradually release energy from glucose (food). The process of breaking down glucose is called cellular respiration.

Cellular Respiration 6O2 +C6H12O6 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy Look familiar? It’s photosynthesis but backwards! Cellular Respiration- Breaking down food in the presence of OXYGEN.

Cellular Respiration cont Cellular respiration is made of 3 parts: 1. Begins with glycolysis (takes place in the cytoplasm) 2. Krebs Cycle (mitochondria) 3. Electron Transport Chain (mitochondria)

Cellular Respiration Summary

To the electron transport chain Glycolysis Glycolysis is the process in which one molecule of glucose (6 carbons) is broken in half producing two molecules of pyruvic acid (3 carbons each) Occurs in cytoplasm of cell Even though glycolysis is part of an energy releasing process, it takes some energy to get it started. 2 ATP used, 4 ATP produced = 2 net ATP produced NADH produced (high energy electron carrier) Glucose To the electron transport chain 2 Pyruvic acid 2 ATP are used and then 4 ATP are produced.

Fermentation (without oxygen) Krebs Cycle After Glycolysis, if there is oxygen present then another path is taken, one that is aerobic Glucose Glycolysis Krebs cycle Electron transport Fermentation (without oxygen) Alcohol or lactic acid

Krebs Cycle cont… The second stage of cellular respiration is the Krebs Cycle During the Krebs cycle, Pyruvic acid is broken down into carbon dioxide Pyruvic acid CO2 Also known as the “citric acid cycle”

Citric Acid Production The Krebs Cycle cont… Section 9-2 Citric Acid Production Mitochondrion Besides CO2, what else is produced? 1 ATP produced: used for cellular activities NADH/FADH2 (high energy electron carriers) produced: go to electron transport chain

Electron Transport Chain The electron transport chain uses electrons from the Krebs cycle to convert ADP ATP

Electron Transport Chain Section 9-2 Inner Membrane Matrix Intermembrane Space Electron Transport Hydrogen Ion Movement ATP Production ATP synthase Channel Mitochondrion H+ concentration gradient is built up H+ ions diffuse through ATP synthase protein As ATP synthase spins, it creates ATP At the end of the chain, electron is combined with H and O to produce water (H2O)

Energy and Exercise In order for a human body to move it needs ATP for energy In the beginning of exercise, the body uses stored ATP in cells (but only for a few seconds of energy) Then the body relies on ATP made from lactic acid (for about 60 -90 seconds)

Energy and Exercise cont… For long term, the body needs to use cellular respiration as source of ATP This supply of ATP is continuous but not instantaneous Body has enough stores of glycogen (sugars) to supply cellular respiration for 15-20 minutes After 15-20 minutes, must break down other molecules, fats, to use for energy

Fermentation (without oxygen) Chemical Pathways Glucose Glycolysis Krebs cycle Electron transport Fermentation (without oxygen) Alcohol or lactic acid

Fermentation When oxygen is not present, glycolysis is followed by fermentation Fermentation is anaerobic (doesn’t need oxygen) There are two types: Alcoholic fermentation Lactic acid fermentation

Fermentation cont..

Alcoholic Fermentation Used by yeast and other micro organisms forming alcohol and CO2 as wastes Pyruvic acids + NADH  alcohol + CO2 + NAD+

Lactic Acid Fermentation Lactic Acid forms in muscles when the body cannot supply enough oxygen to its tissues When you exercise very quickly your muscles run out of oxygen, and your body begins to produce ATP by lactic acid production
