1 Related Pathways Anaerobic Respiration Metabolism of Fats & Proteins

2 Anaerobic Respiration

3 What happens to pyruvate? the fate of the pyruvate molecules depends on whether oxygen is present (aerobic respiration) or not (anaerobic respiration). fermentation is the anaerobic reduction of pyruvate to ethanol or lactic acid.

4 Ethanol Fermentation pyruvate is decarboxylated into acetaldehyde, then reduced to ethanol, oxidizing NADH to NAD +

5 Lactic Acid Fermentation pyruvate is reduced to lactic acid, oxidizing NADH to NAD +

7 Metabolism of Fats & Proteins Related Pathways

8 proteins, lipids and nucleic acids can also be metabolized for energy by entering into a part of glycolysis or the Krebs cycle

10 Protein Catabolism Image from: http://academic.brooklyn.cuny.edu/biology/bio4fv/page/3d_prot.htm proteins are digested into amino acids amino groups are then removed in a process called deamination

11 Protein Catabolism other chemical reactions will convert the remaining part of the amino acids into intermediates of glycolysis or the Krebs cycle

12 Protein Catabolism alanine, cysteine, glycine, serine, threonine pyruvate asparagine, aspartate oxaloacetate arginine, glutamate, glutamine, histidine, proline α-ketoglutarate isoleucine, methionine, valine succinyl-CoA leucine, lysine acetyl-CoA

13 Lipid Structure Image from: http://www.future-of-technology.com/index.php?p=2_7 most of the fats digested by humans are triglycerides.

14 Lipid Catabolism triglycerides are first digested into glycerol and fatty acids glycerol is either converted into glucose through gluconeogenesis or DHAP (then G3P), and enters glycolysis

15 Lipid Catabolism fatty acids are transported to the matrix of the mitochondria and undergo β- oxidation

16 β-oxidation the fatty acid chain is cleaved into 2- carbon acetyl groups, which are converted into acetyl-CoA, which can enter the Krebs cycle every cleavage uses one ATP and produces one NADH and one FADH 2
