1. Lecture 19: Cellular Respiration. By the end of this lecture you should be able to… Describe respiration as a redox reaction. Concepts and terms: reductant, oxidant, NADH Describe the structure of mitochondria Discuss the major components of cellular respiration. Concepts and terms: glycolysis, Krebs cycle, electron transport Describe the major inputs and products of each component of the respiratory pathway. Describe chemiosmosis. Concepts and terms: ATP synthase, proton gradient. Contrast aerobic and anaerobic respiration. Concepts and terms: fermentation, lactic acid Describe the role of inhibitors in studying respiratory biochemistry. Assigned reading: Chapter 9 in the text.

4. Mitochondria are the cells' power sources. Usually they are rod-shaped; however they can be round.

5. C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6O 2 6CO 2 + 6 H 2 O Cellular respiration:

6. Electrons from food are transferred initially to NAD+ Some of the energy released from NADH is used to make ATP NAD: nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide

10. Substrate-level phosphorylation Oxidative phosphorylation

13. Figure 9.11 A closer look at the Krebs cycle (Layer 1)

14. Figure 9.11 A closer look at the Krebs cycle (Layer 2)

15. Figure 9.11 A closer look at the Krebs cycle (Layer 3)

16. Figure 9.11 A closer look at the Krebs cycle (Layer 4)

17. The conversion of pyruvate and the Krebs cycle produces large quantities of electron carriers.

20. Peter Mitchell (1920 - 1992) Nobel Laureate… …1961 paper introducing the chemiosmotic hypothesis. http://www.life.uiuc.edu/crofts/bioph354/lect11.html Chemiosmosis

21. Proton-motive force Oxidative phosphorylation

22. A protein complex, ATP synthase, in the cristae actually makes ATP from ADP and P i. ATP used the energy of an existing proton gradient to power ATP synthesis. –This proton gradient develops between the intermembrane space and the matrix.

24. Aerobic Anaerobic

25. During extreme exertion… Initially, stored ATP is metabolized (~5mmol/kg muscle. It’s gone in about 5 s. Then phosphocreatine is converted to ATP; gone in another 5 s. Then glycolosis starts (anaerobic respiration)…oops, lactate accumulates. Anaerobic respiration kicks in after about 2 min.

26. Feedback mechanisms control cellular respiration
