Aerobic Respiration Beyond Glycolysis Page
2
Glycolysis review 1 Glucose + 2 ADP + 2 Pi + 2 NAD+
2 pyruvate + 2 ATP + 2 NADH +2 H+ All happens in the cytoplasm Next step is to get the pyruvate into the mitochondria Glycolysis review
3
Pyruvate Oxidation Mitochondria has two membranes
Pyruvate passively diffuses through the outer Undergoes facilitated diffusion to go through inner Once inside the mitochondrial matrix, pyruvate is acted upon by the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex Complex catalyzes 3 reactions Pyruvate Oxidation
4
Reaction 1: Decarboxylation A carbon is removed Pyruvate Oxidation
5
Pyruvate Oxidation Reaction 2: Dehydrogenation
2 electrons and a proton are transferred to NAD+ Pyruvate Oxidation
6
Pyruvate Oxidation Reaction 3: RXN with CoA
Coenzyme A is added forming acetyl-CoA Pyruvate Oxidation
7
Coenzyme A A derivative of ATP
All organisms sequenced to date encode enzymes for the synthesis of CoA Also involved in synthesis and oxidation of fatty acids Coenzyme A
8
Pyruvate oxidation
9
Pyruvate oxidation 2 pyruvate + 2 NAD+ + 2 CoA
2 acetyl-CoA + 2 NADH + 2 H+ + 2 CO2 Pyruvate oxidation
10
Krebs cycle (citric acid cycle)
