8.1 Cellular Respiration• Cellular respiration is a cellular process that breaks down

nutrient molecules produced by photosynthesizers with the concomitant production of ATP.

• It consumes oxygen and produces carbon dioxide (CO2). Cellular respiration is an aerobic process.

• It usually involves the complete breakdown of glucose to CO2and H2O. Energy is extracted from the glucose molecule:

• Released step-wise

• Allows ATP to be produced efficiently

Oxidation-reduction enzymes include NAD+ and FAD as coenzymes.

Electrons are removed from substrates and received by oxygen, which combines with H+ to become water.

Glucose is oxidized and O2 is reduced.

Cellular Respiration• NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) A coenzyme of oxidation-reduction, it is:

• Oxidized when it gives up electrons• Reduced when it accepts electrons

Each NAD+ molecule used over and over again

• FAD (flavin adenine dinucleotide) Also a coenzyme of oxidation-reduction Sometimes used instead of NAD+

Accepts two electrons and two hydrogen ions (H+) to become FADH2

Phases of Cellular Respiration

• Cellular respiration includes four phases: Glycolysis is the breakdown of glucose into

two molecules of pyruvate. • It occurs in the cytoplasm.• ATP is formed.• It does not utilize oxygen (anaerobic).

Preparatory (prep) reaction• Both molecules of pyruvate are oxidized and enter

the matrix of the mitochondria.• Electron energy is stored in NADH.• Two carbons are released as CO2 (one from each

pyruvate).

7

Phases of Cellular Respiration Citric acid cycle

• Occurs in the matrix of the mitochondrion and produces NADH and FADH2

• A series of reactions, releases 4 carbons as CO2• Turns twice per glucose molecule (once for each pyruvate)• Produces two immediate ATP molecules per glucose

molecule Electron transport chain (ETC)

• A series of carriers on the cristae of the mitochondria• Extracts energy from NADH and FADH2• Passes electrons from higher to lower energy states • Produces 32 or 34 molecules of ATP by chemiosmosis

8.2 Outside the Mitochondria: Glycolysis

• Glycolysis occurs in cytoplasm outside mitochondria.• It consists of a series of 10 reactions, each with its own

enzyme.• Energy Investment Step:

Two ATP are used to activate glucose. Glucose splits into two G3P molecules.

• Energy Harvesting Step: Oxidation of G3P occurs by removal of electrons and hydrogen

ions. Two electrons and one hydrogen ion are accepted by NAD+

resulting in two NADH. Four ATP are produced by substrate-level phosphorylation.

• An enzyme passes a high-energy phosphate to ADP, making ATP. There is a net gain of two ATP (4 ATP produced - 2 ATP

consumed). Both G3Ps convert to pyruvates. 13

8.3 Outside the Mitochondria: Fermentation

• Pyruvate is a pivotal metabolite in cellular respiration.

• If O2 is not available to the cell, fermentation, an anaerobic process, occurs in the cytoplasm. During fermentation, glucose is incompletely

metabolized to lactate, or to CO2 and alcohol (depending on the organism).

• If O2 is available to the cell, pyruvate enters the mitochondria for aerobic respiration. 24

Outside the Mitochondria: Fermentation

• Fermentation is an anaerobic process that reduces pyruvate to either lactate or alcohol and CO2.

• NADH transfers its electrons to pyruvate. • Alcoholic fermentation, carried out by yeasts, produces

carbon dioxide and ethyl alcohol. Used in the production of alcoholic spirits and breads

• Lactic acid fermentation, carried out by certain bacteria and fungi, produces lactic acid (lactate). Used commercially in the production of cheese, yogurt, and

sauerkraut.• Other bacteria produce chemicals anaerobically,

including isopropanol, butyric acid, proprionic acid, and acetic acid.

Outside the Mitochondria: Fermentation

• Advantages Provides a quick burst of ATP energy for muscular activity.

• When muscles are working vigorously for a short period of time, lactic acid fermentation provides ATP.

• Disadvantages Lactate and alcohol are toxic to cells. Lactate changes pH and causes muscles to fatigue.

• Oxygen debt Yeast die from the alcohol they produce by fermentation.

• Efficiency of Fermentation Two ATP produced per glucose of molecule during fermentation

is equivalent to 14.6 kcal. Complete oxidation of glucose can yield 686 kcal.

• Efficiency is 2.1% of total possible for glucose breakdown. Only 2 ATP per glucose are produced, compared to 36 or 38

ATP molecules per glucose produced by cellular respiration. 30

8.4 Inside the Mitochondria• The preparatory (prep) reaction

It connects glycolysis to the citric acid cycle.

End product of glycolysis, pyruvate, enters the mitochondrial matrix.

Pyruvate is converted to a 2-carbon acetyl group.

• Attached to Coenzyme A to form acetyl-CoA

• Electrons picked up (as hydrogen atom) by NAD+, producing NADH

• CO2 released and transported out of mitochondria into the cytoplasm

• Occurs twice per glucose molecule32

Inside the Mitochondria• Electron Transport Chain (ETC)• Location:

Eukaryotes – cristae of the mitochondria Aerobic prokaryotes – plasma membrane

• Series of carrier molecules: Pass energy-rich electrons successively from one to another Complex arrays of protein and cytochrome

• Proteins with heme groups with central iron atoms

• The electron transport chain: Receives electrons from NADH & FADH2 Produces ATP by oxidative phosphorylation

• Oxygen final electron acceptor: Combines with hydrogen ions to form water

43

Inside the Mitochondria• The fate of the hydrogens Hydrogens from NADH deliver enough energy to

make 3 ATPs. Those from FADH2 have only enough for 2 ATPs. “Spent” hydrogens combine with oxygen.

• Recycling of coenzymes increases efficiency. Once NADH delivers hydrogens, it returns (as NAD+)

to pick up more hydrogens. However, hydrogens must be combined with oxygen

to make water. If O2 is not present, NADH cannot release H+. It is no longer recycled back to NAD+.

44

45

Inside the Mitochondria• The electron transport chain complexes pump H+ from the

matrix into the intermembrane space of the mitochondrion.

• H+ therefore becomes more concentrated in the intermembrane space, creating an electrochemical gradient.

• ATP synthase allows H+ to flow down its gradient.• The flow of H+ drives the synthesis of ATP from ADP and

inorganic phosphate by ATP synthase.• This process is called chemiosmosis.

ATP production is linked to the establishment of the H+ gradient.• ATP moves out of mitochondria and is used for cellular

work. It can be broken down to ADP and inorganic phosphate. These molecules are returned to the mitochondria for more ATP

production.

8.5 Metabolism• Foods Sources of energy rich molecules

Carbohydrates, fats, and proteins

• Degradative reactions (catabolism) break down molecules. Tend to be exergonic (release energy)

• Synthetic reactions (anabolism) build molecules. Tend to be endergonic (consume energy)

Metabolic Pool • Glucose is broken down in cellular respiration.• Fat breaks down into glycerol and three fatty

acids.• Amino acids break down into carbon chains and

amino groups. Deamination (NH2 removed) occurs in the liver.

• Results in poisonous ammonia (NH3)• Quickly converted to urea

Different R-groups from amino acids are processed differently.

Fragments enter respiratory pathways at many different points.

56

Metabolic Pool• All metabolic compounds are part of the

metabolic pool.• Intermediates from respiratory pathways can be

used for anabolism.• Anabolism (synthetic reactions of metabolism): Carbohydrates

• Start with acetyl-CoA• Basically reverses glycolysis (but different pathway)

Fats• G3P converted to glycerol• Acetyl groups are connected in pairs to form fatty acids.

57

Metabolic Pool• Anabolism (cont’d): Proteins

• They are made up of combinations of 20 different amino acids.

• Some amino acids (11) can be synthesized by adult humans.

• However, other amino acids (9) cannot be synthesized by humans.

– Essential amino acids– Must be present in the diet

58

The Energy Organelles Revisited• Similarities between photosynthesis and cellular

respiration: Use of membrane

• Chloroplasts’ inner membrane forms thylakoids.• Mitochondria’s inner membranes form cristae.

Electron transport chain ETC is located on thylakoid membranes and cristae.

In photosynthesis, electrons passed to ETC were energized by the sun.

In mitochondria electrons, energized electrons were removed from glucose.

In both, ETC establishes an electrochemical gradient of H+ with ATP production by chemiosmosis.

Enzymes• In chloroplast, stroma has Calvin cycle enzymes.• In mitochondria, matrix contains enzymes of citric acid cycle. 59

Flow of Energy• Energy flows from the sun through chloroplasts to

carbohydrates and then through mitochondria to ATP molecules. This flow of energy maintains biological organization at all

levels from molecules to organisms to the biosphere. Some energy is lost with each chemical transformation.

• Eventually all solar energy captured is lost.• All life depends on solar energy input.

• Chemicals cycle within natural systems. Chloroplasts produce oxygen and carbohydrates, which are

used by mitochondria to generate energy for life.• Chloroplasts and mitochondria allow energy flow

through organisms and permit chemical cycling.60
