Raven - Johnson - Biology: 6th Ed. - All Rights Reserved - McGraw Hill Companies Using Chemical Energy to Drive Metabolism Autotrophs (producers) - Convert light energy into chemical energy. Plants, some bacteria Heterotrophs (consumers) - Live on food (glucose) autotrophs produce. All cells do this Digestion - Breaking down large molecules with enzymes. Catabolism (breaking molecules) - Releasing energy from C-H.

Raven - Johnson - Biology: 6th Ed. - All Rights Reserved - McGraw Hill Companies ATP and High Energy Electrons (NAD+) Glucose cannot be used directly It is too much energy (like a $36 bill) ATP and NAD+ are the change Glucose is broken down in two main steps 1 st step is anaerobic (no oxygen needed) - Glycolysis - 2 ATP - Occurs in the cytoplasm (outside the mitochondria) Glucose 2 Pyruvate + 2 ATP + electrons

Cell Respiration 2 nd step is aerobic (needs oxygen) - Krebs Cycle/Citric Acid Cycle (in the matrix of mitochondria) 2 ATP - Electron Transport Chain (ETC) In the folded membranes of the mitochondria (cristae) Up to 32 more ATP Oxygen gas accepts the low energy electrons at the end of the ETC H 2 O is produced C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6 O 2 6 CO 2 + 6 H 2 0 + energy

Raven - Johnson - Biology: 6th Ed. - All Rights Reserved - McGraw Hill Companies Electron Transport Chain & Chemiosmosis The high energy electrons harvested from glucose are used to pump H+ (protons) out of the matrix to the inter membrane space by the electron transport chain. Return of protons onto the matrix generates ATP. (chemiosmosis)

Using Chemical Energy to Drive Metabolism Aerobic Respiration - Oxygen gas accepts the hydrogen atom and water forms. Anaerobic Respiration - Occurs when an inorganic molecule other than oxygen accepts the hydrogen. Fermentation - Occurs when an organic molecule accepts the hydrogen atom, instead of oxygen gas

Raven - Johnson - Biology: 6th Ed. - All Rights Reserved - McGraw Hill Companies Glycolysis All Cells Use Glycolysis Every living creature is capable of carrying out glycolysis. - Most present-day organisms can extract considerably more energy from glucose through aerobic respiration. 1 glucose = 36 ATP If no oxygen is present, NAD must be recycled by some other means: Fermentation - Lactic Acid Fermentation - Bacteria that make cheese, pickles, sour cream - Alcoholic Fermentation Yeast, bacteria

Energy Storage Proteins, fats, and other organic molecules are also metabolized for energy. Amino acids of proteins are first deaminated while fats undergo -oxidation.
