1
Carbohydrate Metabolism Turning Sugar into Energy
2
Outline What is Metabolism? Glycolysis TCA Cycle Electron Transport System
3
What is Metabolism? Sum of all chemical reactions in the body
4
What is Metabolism? Sum of all chemical reactions in the body Creates energy (ATP)
5
Why do we need to make ATP? Power muscular contraction Active Transport Homeostasis Synthesis of macromolecules
6
ATP is short-term energy storage ATP consumed < 1 minute from synthesis
7
Types of Metabolic Reactions Anabolic reactions –Building macromolecules in the body
8
Types of Metabolic Reactions Anabolic reactions –Building macromolecules in the body Catabolic reactions –Hydrolysis of foods in GI tract –Chemical breakdown releases energy
9
Types of Metabolic Reactions Anabolic reactions –Building macromolecules in the body Catabolic reactions –Hydrolysis of foods in GI tract –Chemical breakdown releases energy Where does the energy come from?
10
Fuel Up with Slyders!
11
Our Fuel Sources Carbohydrates –Sugars and starches –First choice of metabolic fuel Fats Protein
12
Glucose: Our Primary Fuel C 6 H 12 O 6 All carbohydrates we consume are eventually converted into glucose
13
Catabolism of Glucose C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6O 2 6CO 2 + 6H 2 O + energy Transfer energy from glucose to ATP Most energy lost as heat Glucose
14
Catabolism of Glucose Occurs as a series of steps…. Major Pathways Glycolysis (does not require O 2 ) -glucose split into 2 parts, generating 2 ATP Aerobic Respiration (requires O 2 ) - catabolizes the products of glycolysis and generates more than 30 ATP
15
Where is Glucose Broken Down? TCA
16
Glycolysis (Sugar Splitting) Occurs in presence and absence of O 2 Occurs in cytoplasm Provides energy during strenuous exercise All I need is Glycolysis…And my Jenny.
17
1.Glucose enters cell by facilitated diffusion Key Steps in Glycolysis
18
2.Glucose is Phosphorylated by ATP Key Steps in Glycolysis
19
3. Glucose split into two 3-carbon molecules Key Steps in Glycolysis
20
4.Coenzyme NAD + collects hydrogen Key Steps in Glycolysis
21
Coenzymes in Metabolism Collect electrons (hydrogen atoms) during catabolism of glucose –Transfer 2H + and 2 e - at a time to coenzymes NAD + and FAD –NAD + (made from niacin) NAD + + 2H NADH + H + –FAD (made from vitamin B 2 ) FAD + 2H FADH 2 Temporary carriers of energy
22
4.Coenzyme NAD + collects hydrogen Key Steps in Glycolysis
23
5. Create 4 ATP by substrate-level phosphorylation Key Steps in Glycolysis
24
Substrate-level Phosphorylation
25
6. Create 2 Pyruvate molecules Key Steps in Glycolysis
26
Final Products of Glycolysis 2 molecules of Pyruvate 2 molecules of NADH + H + 4 gross ATP molecules, but only 2 net ATP Quick Energy….but, not very much ATP Glycolysis Animation
27
Some Cells Stop at Glycolysis Red Blood Cells Skeletal Muscle (during exercise)
28
Much Energy Remains in Pyruvate 2 TCA ATP Produced
29
Aerobic vs. Anaerobic Respiration Kreb’s Cycle Electron Transport Chain So What Happens to Pyruvate?
30
Most ATP is Generated in Mitochondria Two principal steps: Matrix Reactions (Krebs Cycle) occurs in matrix of mitochondria Pyruvate is oxidized and electrons are transferred to NAD + and FAD, forming NADH +H and FADH 2 Membrane Reactions (Electron Transport Chain) Occurs within the inner mitochondrial membrane NADH & FADH 2 are oxidized, transferring energy to ATP and regenerating NAD + and FAD
31
Mitochondria: The Cell Powerhouse
32
The Krebs Cycle Also known as…. Tricarboxylic Acid Cycle TCA Cycle Citric Acid Cycle
33
Major Steps of the TCA Cycle 1. CO 2 removed from Pyruvate and several intermediate molecules C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6O 2 6CO 2 + 6H 2 O + energy CO 2 is a metabolic waste product Glucose
34
2.Hydrogen removed from intermediate molecules Picked up by NAD + and FAD coenzymes Major Steps of the TCA Cycle
35
Summary of Krebs Cycle 2 pyruvate + 6 H 2 O 6 CO 2 2 ADP + 2 P i 2 ATP 8 NAD + + 8 H 2 8 NADH + 8 H + 2 FAD + 2 H 2 2 FADH 2 Carbon from Pyruvate converted to CO 2 and exhaled Energy has been lost (as heat) or stored in 2 ATP, 8 NADH, and 2 FADH 2.
36
Kreb’s Cycle Animation Do not worry about the following: Names of Intermediate carbon molecules What GTP is (it is an ATP precursor) Focus on the following: CO 2 production Action of coenzymes NAD & FAD Creation of ATP Animation
37
To the Inner Mitochondrial Membrane! 22 TCA
38
So what happens to all of the NADH and FADH?
40
Most ATP is Generated in Mitochondria Two principal steps: Matrix Reactions (Krebs Cycle) occurs in matrix of mitochondria Pyruvate is oxidized and electrons are transferred to NAD + and FAD, forming NADH +H and FADH 2 Membrane Reactions (Electron Transport Chain) Occurs within the inner mitochondrial membrane NADH & FADH 2 are oxidized, transferring energy to ATP and regenerating NAD + and FAD
41
Electron Transport System (ETS) Occurs on Inner mitochondrial membrane Requires oxygen
42
ETS Makes Lots of ATP
43
Electron Transport System 1)NADH and FADH 2 release hydrogen atoms
44
Splitting of Hydrogen 2) Electrons passed along electron transport system Protons (H + ) pumped out of mitochondrial matrix Flow of electrons powers active transport of H +
45
ATP Synthase Creates ATP 3) H + diffuse into matrix through ATP Synthase Flow of H + powers anabolism of ATP
46
Electron Transport System Payoff Produce ~34 ATP Efficiency of 40% Rest is body heat
