Cellular Respiration Part 4 Oxidative Phosphorylation Pages 98 to 100

Oxidative Phosphorylation Location ▫Cristae of mitochondria Final Acceptor of Electrons ▫Oxygen

4
Electron transfer in the electron transport chain causes proteins to pump H + from the mitochondrial matrix to the intermembrane space Intermembrane space becomes positively charged; the matrix because negatively charged – concentration gradient is established = potential energy

Fig. 9-14 INTERMEMBRANE SPACE Rotor H+H+ Stator Internal rod Catalytic knob ADP + P ATP i MITOCHONDRIAL MATRIX As H+ escapes from positively charged intermembrane space through ATP Synthase to the negatively charged matrix, ATP synthase spins using energy released from H+ going down its concentration gradient to phosphorylate ADP making ATP Chemiosmosis is using energy of a H+ gradient to do cellular work

NADH makes 3 ATP; FADH 2 makes 2 ATP ProcessNADHFADH2ATP Glycolysis202 Krebs Cycle822 ETC & Chemiosmosis 10 X 3 = 302 X 2 = 430 + 4 = 34 Debt (entering mitochondria) 2 ATP expended to transport NADH to ETC from cytoplasm -2 Total36 ATP Yield from 1 glucose
7
Certain Poisons Interrupt Events in Cellular Respiration
8
3 Categories of Poison ETC Inhibitors ▫Rotenone Blocks ETC at 1 st protein complex ▫Cyanide and CO2 block ETC at 3 rd protein complex RESULT = no H+gradient no ATP ATP synthase Inhibitors ▫Oligiomycin ▫Keep H+ from passing through ATP synthase RESULT = no chemiosmosis
9
3 Categories of Poison Uncouplers ▫Make the membrane of the mitochondria “leaky” to H+ ▫Dintrophenol (DNP) unsuccessfully used for weight loss RESULT – Can’t establish H+ gradeint no ATP
10
Benefit of poisons… Pesticides Antibodies Help to understand the biochemistry of cellular respiration
