Chapter 4 Cells and Energy Cellular Respiration
2
Cellular respiration Process by which food molecules are broken down to release energy Glucose and other 6-carbon sugars are major sources of energy Aerobic processes require oxygen Anaerobic processes don’t need oxygen
3
Releasing energy with O 2 process involves 4 steps Glycolysis Converting pyruvic acid to acetic acid Citric acid cycle (Kreb’s cycle) Electron transport chain
4
Glycolysis 6-carbon glucose breaks down to 2 molecules of pyruvic acid (each with 3- carbons) No oxygen required Also produces 2H+ ions and 2electrons that are picked up by 2NAD+ Uses 2ATP and produces 4ATP (net production of 2ATP) Occurs in cytoplasm
5
Section 9.3 Summary – pages 231-237 Glycolysis Glucose 2ATP 2ADP 2PGAL 4ADP + 4P 2NAD+ 2NADH + 2H + 4ATP 2 Pyruvic acid
6
Fermentation Lactic Acid Pyruvic acid from glycolysis is converted to lactic acid NADH + H+ is recycled to NAD+ Alcoholic Pyruvic acid from glycolysis is converted to ethyl alcohol and carbon dioxide NADH + H+ is recycled to NAD+
7
Fermentation Lactic acid fermentation occurs in cytoplasm of muscle cells (causes muscle soreness) Alcoholic fermentation occurs in bacteria and yeast Both forms occur in the cytoplasm WITHOUT oxygen
8
Pyruvic acid to acetic acid 2 Pyruvic acids moves from the cytoplasm into the mitochondria Each pyruvic acid loses a C to CO 2 to make acetic acid 2 Acetic acids are combined with coenzyme A to make 2 acetyl-CoA 2H+ and 2 electrons are picked up by NAD+
9
Section 9.3 Summary – pages 231-237 Pyruvic acid Outside the mitochondrion Mitochondrial membrane Inside the mitochondrion Pyruvic acid Intermediate by-product NAD + NADH + H + CO 2 Coenzyme A - CoA Acetyl-CoA Pyruvic Acid
10
Citric acid cycle (Kreb’s cycle) Each acetyl-CoA enters the cycle and combines with the 4-carbon oxaloacetic acid to make citric acid Citric acid loses a C to CO 2 and releases H+ to NAD+ to become ketoglutaric acid Ketoglutaric acid loses a C to CO 2, stores energy in an ATP and releases H+ and electrons to NAD+ to make succinic acid
11
Kreb’s continued Succinic acid releases H+ and electrons to NAD+ and FAD and converted back to oxaloacetic acid Products of Kreb’s cycle 4 CO 2 2 ATP 6 NADH + H+ 2 FADH
12
Section 9.3 Summary – pages 231-237 The Citric Acid Cycle (Acetyl-CoA) Citric acid NAD + NADH + H + O==O (CO 2 ) NAD + O==O (CO 2 ) ADP + ATP FAD FADH 2 Citric Acid Cycle NAD + NADH + H + Oxaloacetic acid The mitochondria host the citric acid cycle. NADH + H +
13
Electron Transport Chain All NADH + H+ and FADH produced go to the electron transport chain Each NADH + H+ produces 3 ATP (30 ATP) Each FADH produces 2 ATP (4 ATP) Electron transport chain produces a total of 34 ATP
14
Section 9.3 Summary – pages 231-237 The electron transport chain Enzyme Electron carrier proteins e - NADH FADH 2 NAD + FAD Electron pathway 4H + + O 2 + 4 electrons H2OH2O H2OH2O ADP +ATP Inner membrane Center of mitochondrion Space between inner and outer membranes
15
Total ATP production Net ATP in glycolysis is 2 ATP production in Kreb’s is 2 ATP production in ETC is 34 Total = 38 ATP
