2 6.13 Fermentation enables cells to produce ATP without oxygen  Fermentation is a way of harvesting chemical energy that does not require oxygen. Fermentation –takes advantage of glycolysis, –produces 2 ATP molecules per glucose, and –oxidizes NADH back to NAD +  Fermentation allows an anaerobic path for recycling NADH back to NAD +. © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Pyruvate (from glycolysis) Mitochondria (TCA and ETC) Cytoplasm (Fermentation) Little O 2 High O 2

3 Lactic Acid Fermentation  Animals and certain bacteria can oxidize NADH through lactic acid fermentation, in which –NADH is oxidized to NAD + and –pyruvate is reduced to lactate. © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.

4 Alcohol Fermentation  The baking and winemaking industries have used alcohol fermentation for thousands of years.  In this process Yeasts (single- celled fungi) –oxidize NADH back to NAD + and –convert pyruvate to CO 2 and ethanol. © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. 2 NAD  2 NADH 2 NAD  2 NADH 2 Ethanol 2 Pyruvate Glucose 2 ADP 2 ATP 2 P Glycolysis 2 CO 2

5 6.14 EVOLUTION CONNECTION: Glycolysis evolved early in the history of life on Earth  Glycolysis is the universal energy-harvesting process of life.  The role of glycolysis in fermentation and respiration dates back to –life long before oxygen was present, –when only prokaryotes inhabited the Earth, –about 3.5 billion years ago. © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.

6 6.14 EVOLUTION CONNECTION: Glycolysis evolved early in the history of life on Earth  The ancient history of glycolysis is supported by its –occurrence in all the domains of life and –location within the cell, using pathways that do not involve any membrane-bounded organelles. © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.

8 Cellular Respiration Pathways are Intersection between Catabolic and Anabolic reactions  Metabolism = sum total of chemical reactions occurring in an organism  Catabolism = Chemical reactions that break down molecules (energy releasing) –Ex: cellular respiration, hydrolysis of complex molecules  Anabolism = Chemical reactions that build up molecules (energy requiring) –Ex: photosynthesis, dehydration reactions to build macromolecules © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.

9  Glucose is primary fuel for respiration and fermentation, ATP can be generated using –carbohydrates –fats –Proteins  Fats yield more than 2x as much ATP per gram than carbs or protein –1 g carb = 4-5 Cal –1 g protein = 4-5 Cal –1 g fat = 10 Cal 6.15 Cells use many kinds of organic molecules as fuel for cellular respiration
