1
Energy is stored in the chemical bonds of glucose
Light energy* Chemical bond energy (ATP*) ATP* hydrolysis ADP + Pi + energy* 6CO H2O (H source) + energy* glucose*
2
To synthesize organic molecules, it takes energy and reducing power.
ATP Source of attachable H.
3
To retrieve energy from glucose:
1. strip away high energy electrons from the chemical bonds of glucose 2. this is oxidation (loss of electrons) 3. cellular respiration is a two-step process: remove electrons use the energy in those electrons
5
Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm of all living organisms
enzymatic splitting of glucose yields 2 pyruvates net gain of 2 ATP and 2 NADH*
7
Substrate-level phosphorylation
Net gain of 2 ATP per glucose
8
2 electrons removed and carried on NADH x2
9
Pyruvate oxidized (by NAD+)
One C removed as CO2 Coenzyme A is added Leaves acetyl-CoA
10
Acetyl-CoA can have many fates:
ATP synthesis (in mitochondrial matrix) fat synthesis lipid synthesis amino acid synthesis
11
2 CO2 3 NADH 1 FADH2 1 ATP original 4-C sugar
13
Electron Transport System
14
Photosynthesis vs. Cellular Respiration
source of high-energy electrons used electrons cannot be recycled in mitochondria
16
Net results
17
ATP production decreases when ATP is plentiful.
19
Animal cells convert pyruvate to lactic acid in the absence of O2
Makes NAD+ available so glycolysis can continue
20
Yeast cells convert pyruvate to ethanol in the absence of O2
