Cellular Respiration
2
Energy Flow photosynthesis –carried out by plants uses energy from sunlight converts into glucose & oxygen used in cellular respiration oxygen is consumed glucose is broken down CO 2 & H 2 O
3
Respiration means breathing cellular respiration –exchange of gases O 2 from environment is used & CO 2 is released & removed by blood
4
Cellular Respiration provides ATP for cellular work called oxidation oxidizes food molecules, like glucose, to CO 2 & water 6C 6 H 12 O 2 + 6O 2 6CO 2 + 6H 2 O + ATP energy is trapped in ATP
5
Cellular Respiration-Oxidation electrons are transferred from sugar to O 2 making H 2 O do not see electron transfer in equation see changes in H ions glucose molecule loses hydrogen atoms as it is converted to CO 2 O 2 gains hydrogen atoms to form water O 2 is an electron grabber –pulls harder than other atoms to get electrons these hydrogen movements represent electron transfers each hydrogen atom consists of one electron and one proton electrons move along with hydrogens from glucose to O 2 it is as if they are falling energy is released in the process process is possible only because of O 2 if you stop breathing no ATP would be made all processes stop death 6C 6 H 12 O 2 + 6O 2 6CO 2 + 6H 2 O + ATP
6
Complete Oxidation of Glucose C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6O 2 6CO 2 + 6H 2 O for one thing to be oxidized-another must be reduced oxidation & reduction reactions occur together redox reactions
7
Oxidation/Reduction Reactions Oxidation –H + atoms are removed from compounds Oxidized things lose electrons electron lost oxidized-loses energy Reduction –H + atoms are added to compounds gain electron reduced-gains energy food fuels are oxidized-lose energy transferred to other molecules ATP coenzymes act as hydrogen or electron acceptors –reduced each time substrate is oxidized
8
CoEnzymes NAD + -niacin-nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide FAD-flavin adenine dinucleotide-riboflavin
9
Glucose Oxidation Steps Glycolysis –occurs in cytosol –does not require oxygen –also called anaerobic Kreb’s Cycle –occurs in mitochondria –require O 2 –aerobic Electron Transport Chain –occurs in mitochondria –require O 2 –aerobic
10
Glycolysis first step in complete oxidation of glucose occurs in cytosol begins when enzyme phosphorylates glucose –adds PO 4 group to glucose Glu6PO4 traps glucose reaction uses 2 ATPs Energy Investment Phase
11
Glycolysis Sugar Splitting Stage 6 carbon compound 2 pyruvates (3 carbon compounds) ATP
12
Glycolysis
13
Pyruvate fate depends on oxygen availability not enough oxygen –NAD + is regenerated by converting pyruvate lactic acid anaerobic fermentation O 2 available pyruvic acid enters aerobic pathways of Krebs cycle aerobic respiration
14
Anaerobic Fermentation not enough oxygen NAD + regenerated by converting pyruvate lactic acid limited by buildup of lactic acid –produces acid/base problems –degrades muscle performances used for short bursts of high level activity lasting several minutes cannot supply ATP for long, endurance activities
15
Alcohol Fermentation yeast without oxygen provides ATP by product- ethanol regenerates NAD +
16
Aerobic Respiration pyruvic acid enters mitochondria once inside converted acetyl CoA during conversion pyruvate is decarboxylated (carbons removed) released as CO pyruvic acid + NAD + + coenzyme A CO 2 + NADH + Acetyl CoA
17
Krebs Cycle acetyl CoA enters Krebs Cycle –tricarboxylic acid cycle or Citric Acid Cycle during cycle hydrogen atoms are removed from organic molecules transferred to coenzymes cycle begins & ends with same substrate: oxaloacetate (OAA) acetyl CoA condenses with oxaloacetate- 4 carbon compound citrate-6 carbon compound cycle continues around through 8 successive step during steps atoms of citric acid are rearranged producing different intermediates called keto acids eventually turns into OAA
18
Krebs Cycle Yields –2 CO 2 –reducing equivalents-3 NADH & 1 FADH 2 further oxidized in electron transport chain –1 GTP-ATP equivalent Since two pyruvates are obtained from oxidation of glucose amounts need to be doubled for complete oxidation results
19
Electron Transport Chain transfers pairs of electrons from entering substrate to final electron acceptor- oxygen electrons are led through series of oxidation- reduction reactions before combining with O 2 atoms reactions takes place on inner mitochondrial membrane only permeable to water, oxygen & CO 2
20
Oxidative Phosphorylation/Electron Transport Chain System responsible for 90% of ATP used by cells basis-2H + O 2 2 H 2 0 releases great deal of energy all at once cells cannot handle so much energy reactions occur in series of steps Oxidation reactions –remove H + atoms & lose energy (H + ) Oxidized things lose electrons compounds that gain electrons reduced-gain energy enzymes cannot accept H atoms Coenzymes needed to accept hydrogens when coenzyme accepts hydrogen atoms coenzyme reduced & gains energy
21
Chemiosmosis ETC creates conditions needed for ATP production by creating concentration gradient across inner mitochondrial membrane as energy is released-as electrons are transferred drives H ion pumps that move H across membrane into space between 2 membranes pumps create large concentration gradients for H H ions cannot diffuse into matrix because not lipid soluble channels allow H ions to enter matrix Chemiosmosis –energy released during oxidation of fuels=chemi –pumping H ions across membranes of mitochondria into inter membrane space =osmo –creates steep diffusion gradient for Hs across membrane when hydrogens flow across membrane, through membrane channel protein ATP synthase attaches PO 4 to ADP ATP ATP synthase
22
Oxidative Phosphorylation for each pair of electrons removed by NAD from substrate 3 ATPs are made FAD 2 ATPs are made
24
Energy Yield aerobic metabolism generates more ATP per mole of glucose oxidized than anaerobic metabolism Glycolysis –net 2 ATPs Krebs Cycle –2 ATP –8 NADH + H + X 3=24 ATP –2 FADH 2 X 2=4 ATP 2 moles pyruvate 2 NADH + H + - glycolysis 2 X 2 = 4 ATP Total 36 ATP
