Cellular Respiration

Cellular Respiration: Harvesting Chemical Energy All living things need energy Energy in the form of… Food =chemical energy Cell energy= ATP

C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6O 2 → 6H 2 O + 6CO 2 + Energy Organic compounds store energy in their arrangement of atoms Fats, CH 2 O protein can all be used as fuel. Most commonly, cellular respiration is studied using glucose as the source. There are 2 energy-providing (catabolic) pathways – Cellular Respiration – Fermentation ( partial degradation of sugar without oxygen)

Cells Recycle ATP

Four Stages of Cellular Respiration Glycolysis Preparation for Citric Acid Cycle Citric Acid Cycle/Kreb’s Cycle Electron Transport

Respiration uses an electron chain to break the “fall” of electrons to several steps. Oxidation phosphorylation (adding a phosphate onto a compound in the presence of oxygen) accounts for 90% of the ATP generated by respiration.

Glycolysis Splits a glucose molecule into Carbon molecules called PYRUVATE PYRUVATE. products: 2 ATP, NADH and pyruvate

What happens when there is no oxygen to accept the electrons? to accept the electrons? Only the process of glycolysis is carried out and lactic acid is produced in the muscles. The body cannot tolerate much lactic acid and it must eventually be converted in the liver to pyruvate. results in muscle soreness

Alcoholic Fermentation Some organisms carry out alcoholic fermentation. This was discovered by Louis Pasteur in his study of the chemistry of wines. Yeasts break down the sugars in the juice to pyruvate by glycolysis, then the pyruvate is dismantled to yeild CO 2 and ETHANOL. If the fermentation continues until all the sugar is used, a dry wine is produced. If fermentation is stopped before all the sugar is used, then a sweet wine is produced.

Eukaryote vs Prokaryote Glycolytic pathways

Prokaryotes Lack mitochondria?? Free enzymes break down glucose-ATP 1 glucose=2 ATP No O 2 needed so… ANAEROBIC Some,however…???

Quiz-anaerobic gylcolysis Where in the cell does gylcolysis occur? Explain “it takes energy to make energy”?? How much net ATP is made? What else is made? 2 types of fermentation? Cytoplasm Invest 2 ATP get 4 Net= 2 ATP CO 2 + NADH Lactate or alcohol

The Fate of PYRUVATE Taken into mitochondria Broken down to ACETATE CO 2 produced Binds to large protein Coenzyme A to produce acetyl Coenzyme A Back to Aerobic Respiration………….

Preparation for the Citric Acid Cycle The pyruvate looses a carbon leaving the 2 carbon molecule Acetyl CoA CC CO 2 products: CO 2, Acetyl CoA and NADH

The Citric Acid Cycle Products: CO 2 ATP, NADH, FADH

The Citric Acid Cycle (TCA) or KREBS CYCLE CO 2 NADH & FADH 2 more ATP

What is NADH?? FADH?? ENERGY CARRIER! Same for FADH Carrier to…? … ETC

Quiz-Krebs cycle (TCA cycle) What are the reactants? What is produced? What do we mean by nonmembrane reactions? What is NADH? FADH? What is CoA and why is it important? Pyruvate (C 3 ) 2 ATP, CO 2, NADH, FADH Enzymes not embedded Energy carriers Escort molecule to Krebs cycle

matrix H+H+ H+H+ H+H+ H+H+ H+H+ H+H+ outer membrane inner membrane ( ATP synthetase) The matrix is a protein rich solution which contain the enzymes which run electron transport. ATP SYNTHETASE is the enzyme which is responsible for making ATP. Mitochondria H+H+ H+H+ NAD H+H+

Mitochondria: Site of Electron Transport Chain The Mitochondria have 2 layers/ two membranes- the outer membrane inner membrane which has many folds. these folds are called Cristae The purpose of the cristae is to increase surface area, they hold the ATP synthase (which puts the ATP together More ATP synthase more ATP The H+ which are brought to mitochondria accumulate between these two membranes.

The electrons are passed back and forth across the membrane where their energy is gradually decreased and used to transport H + through the membrane. Oxygen is the final electron acceptor and it joins with the H + to produce H 2 O. If there is no oxygen, the electron chain cannot continue. because there is no way to release electrons. electrons Electron Transport Chain

Electron Transport Chain (ETC) Enzymes embedded in mitochondrial membrane –ATP Synthase embedded in the inner mitochondrial wall. ATP Synthase synthesizes the ATP from the materials processed within the ETC
