Efficiency of Cellular Respiration Energy released from glucose banked in ATP Energy released from glucose (as heat and light) Gasoline energy converted to movement 100% About 40% 25% Burning glucose in an experiment “Burning” glucose in cellular respiration Burning gasoline in an auto engine Figure 6.2B
BASIC MECHANISMS OF ENERGY RELEASE Glucose gives up energy as it is oxidized Loss of hydrogen atoms Energy Glucose Gain of hydrogen atoms Figure 6.4
Hydrogen Carriers Such as NAD+ Shuttle Electrons Enzymes remove electrons from glucose molecules and transfer them to a coenzyme OXIDATION Dehydrogenase and NAD+ REDUCTION Figure 6.5
Redox reactions release energy when electrons “fall” from a hydrogen carrier to oxygen As electrons move from carrier to carrier, their energy is released in small quantities Energy released and now available for making ATP ELECTRON CARRIERS of the electron transport chain Electron flow Figure 6.6
Two Mechanisms Make ATP Cells use the energy released by “falling” electrons to pump H+ ions across a membrane The energy of the gradient is harnessed to make ATP by chemiosmosis High H+ concentration ATP synthase uses graient energy to make ATP Membrane Electron transport chain ATP synthase Energy from Low H+ concentration Figure 6.7A
Organic molecule (substrate) New organic molecule (product) ATP can also be made by transferring phosphate groups from organic molecules to ADP Enzyme Adenosine Organic molecule (substrate) This process is called substrate-level phosphorylation Adenosine New organic molecule (product) Figure 6.7B
