Energy Releasing Pathways (Cellular Respiration) I. Introduction A. History
1. Antoine Lavoisier in the 1700’s can make wine without living organisms 2. Wohler and VonLeibig supported this idea, but Schwann showed juice would not ferment without yeast. 3. In 1860 Pasteur proved ethanol amount proportional to the amount of yeast present
4. In 1897 the Buchner brothers == steps of glycolysis key to fermentation 5. In the early 1900’s Szent-Györgyi designed Citric Acid Cycle, failed to show relationship to fermentation 6. Krebs in 1938 linked glycolysis to citric Acid Cycle via enzyme CoA Kreb’s Cycle

b. Steps
Investment Splitting & Harvest Three components: Figure 7.3
Investment 1. Enzyme attaches a P from ATP to glucose after diffusing into the cell Prevents glucose from diffusing back out of cell 2. Attach another P from second ATP to glucose Generates a balanced molecule with a P at either end. Splitting 1. Enzyme cuts molecule into two G3P’s 2. Liberates H and NAD + steals the electrons from H to form NADH + H + 3. The hole left by the leaving H is backfilled by P i This step balances the G3P with a P on either end This happens twice or once for each G3P How many NADH + H+ H+ are formed per glucose?
Harvest 1. Enzyme directly transfers a P from G3P to ADP to make ATP How many times does this happen to make how many ATP’s? 2. Makes two molecules of pyruvate Substrate-level ATP synthesis Figure 7.4
c. Outcomes
1. 2ATP are used by the cell. 2. NADH + H+ H+ mitochondria and electron transport chain The next two outcomes only happen if oxygen is present in the cell. 3. 2pyruvic acids are combined to CoA to go to the mitochondria and the Kreb’s cycle
2. Transport to Mitochondria a. Where
Cytoplasm to Mitochondrial Matrix Figure 7.5
b. Steps
Taxi anyone? Figure 7.6
Transport 1. Enzyme splits off a CO 2 from a pyruvate which liberates electrons from H and given to NAD + to form NADH + H + to make a 2C acetyl group 2. Combine acetyl group to Co-enzyme A to be transported to the mitochondria
c. Outcomes
1. NADH + H+ H+ mitochondria and electron transport chain The next two outcomes only happen if oxygen is present in the cell. 2. 2pyruvate combined to 2CoA go to the mitochondria and the Kreb’s cycle
3. Kreb’s Cycle a. Where
Six step Kreb’s cycle mitochondrial matrix Figure 4.20 Figure 7.5
b. Steps
Acetic acid added to oxalacetic acid to make citric acid Figure 7.6 Oxaloacetic acidCitric acid Acetic acid
Destroying 1. Enzyme combines acetic group with oxaloacetic acid to begin cycle 2. Enzyme splits out CO 2 and liberates H to NAD + to make NADH + H + How many CO 2 are liberated? Rearranging 1. Enzyme reshapes molecule to liberate more H’s to rebuild oxaloacetic acid 2. Liberates H and NAD + or FAD + steals the electrons to make NADH + H + or FADH 2 This happens twice or once for each acetic group 3. As H’s are removed then a Pi jumps on only to be removed to form ATP
c. Outcomes
1. ATP used 2. CO 2 diffuses into cytosol and lost 3. NADH + H+ H+ and FADH 2 to electron transport chain
4. Electron Transport Chain a. Where
Inner Mitochondrial Membrane protein based reactions oxidation/reduction reactions release energy to make ATP via ATP synthase Figure 7.7

b. Steps
Figure 7.8
Build Up 1. NADH + H + and FADH 2 drop the electrons from H to a series of re- dox proteins called cytochromes 2. As electrons move down the chain they lose energy which is used to move the H proton across the membrane to establish potential energy Harvest 1. The electrons are eventually passed to an awaiting Oxygen atom 2. The H proton moves back across the membrane through ATP Synthase and to the waiting O 2 to form water 3. Conversion of energy (Potential to Kinetic) is used to form ATP
c. Outcomes
1. ATP used 2. NAD + and FAD + sent back 3. Water moved out
