1
Introduction to Cell Respiration chp 7 Life is Work!!!
2
Photosynthesis Energy in ecosystems first comes from sun
3
2 nd Law thermodynamics Universe is all going to lower energy! NOT LIFE Living things work to combat entropy Photosynthesis energy must be stored and used to prevent loss as heat
4
Cellular respiration Process of harvesting chemical energy to do work Autotrophs – (Plants) capture sunlight and form organic compounds (photosynthesis) Heterotrophs (animals, fungi etc) (and autotrophs) use this energy
5
Respiration uses the chemical energy from photosynthesis
6
Respiration In Mitochondria Uses O 2 Uses Sugar (Org. comp) Produces CO 2 Sugar ATP Photosynthesis In Chloroplasts Produces O 2 Produces Sugar (Org. Comp) Uses CO 2 Light Sugar
7
Cell Respiration Use of Sugar and Oxygen to produce ATP energy for life functions
8
MOST energy in respiration is Still lost as heat
9
SOME free energy is formed into ATP ATP production is the goal of cell respiration
10
Cell Respiration is “like” fire Fire needs Respiration needs Wood and OxygenGlucose and Oxygen BUT respiration is SLOW and Using redox reactions
11
Redox reactions Breakdown of food requires oxidation Oxidation is the loss of electrons Reduction is the gain of electrons. These reactions are usually coupled together
12
NAD+ Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide NAD+ is the main energy molecule used to make ATP NAD+ is an enzyme cofactor In the process of glucose breaking down A redox reaction causes it to gain electrons and H+, energizing it NAD+ NADH
13
NADH – forms ATP Electron transport chain At the end of respiration electrons are released from NADH by electron transport chain which powers production of ATP
14
Two types of respiration Aerobic respiration – if electron acceptor is oxygen Anaerobic respiration – no oxygen
15
Fermentation When there is NO oxygen Called Anaerobic respiration Catabolic process breaking organic compounds Produces only 2 ATP
16
Aerobic Respiration happens in the mitochondria Uses oxygen and process a lot of ATP
17
Respiration Sugar + Oxygen Carbon Dioxide + Water + ATP C 6 H 12 O 6 + O 2 CO 2 + H 2 O + ATP
18
Stages of respiration 1) Glycolysis – Glucose breaks into 2 pyruvates and forms 2 ATP. 2) Krebs Cycle – Pyruvate is broken into C0 2 molecules and forms 2 ATP and NADH and FADH 2 (H+ carriers) 3) Electron Transport Chain – NADH and FADH 2 produce 34 ATP, using up oxygen and producing water.
19
Sites of Cellular Respiration 1) Glycolysis in cytoplasm 2) Krebs cycle in mito. Matrix 3) ETC in inner mito. membrane
20
Electron Transport Chain (system) Electron Transport Chain (system) Occurs in the inner Mitochondria membrane NADH and FADH 2 are Oxidized (lose electrons) to form 34 ATP Oxygen is used up (final electron acceptor) Water is produced from H + and OH-
21
ETC molecules : Energy molecules NADH and FADH 2 carry H + and e - to Inner Mito. membrane where there are a lot of protein complexes
22
ETC electron flow Electrons flow along protein chain in inner membrane At End, Oxygen accepts electrons forming water
23
1 st - NADH and FADH 2 are oxidized Electrons are removed releasing energy which is used to pump H+ protons from matrix into the inter membrane space. Electrons travel through ETC
24
2 nd – H+ Protons flow back into matrix through ATP synthase High H+ concentration pushes H+ ions through ATP synthase which spins like a rotary engine, producing ATP. Called chemiosmosis
25
Chemiosmosis The diffusion of ions across a selectively- permeable membrane. Usually it generates ATP by the movement of hydrogen ions across a membrane during cellular respiration. ionsATP hydrogenmembraneionsATP hydrogenmembrane
26
ATP formed by Oxidative phosphorylation in electron transport chain ATP synthase phosphorylates ADP using proton gradient pump in inner mitochondrial membrane OXIDATION NOT substrate level phosphorylation
27
Oxygen. The Final electron acceptor At end of ATP phosphorylation, Oxygen accepts the electrons from the ETC and combines with the H+ ions forming water as a by product of respiration With out oxygen to accept electrons, the ETC would not take place
28
ATP amounts NADH – forms 3 ATP each FADH 2 – forms 2 ATP each (starts farther down the ETC) Note – NADH produced in cytosol must use one ATP to transport into mitochondria
29
Summary of Cell respiration Cell Respiration Harvests as much free energy (ATP) from sugar as possible Redox reactions produce NADH which then makes ATP in electron transport ATP is used in cells for all endergonic reactions
