Catabolic Processes (pathways) – capture energy in a form cells can use by breaking down complex molecules into simpler ones via oxidation Cellular Respiration Glycolysis Fermentation Aerobic respiration Fat metabolism Protein metabolism Light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis Metabolic Processes Cellular Respiration is the transfer of energy stored in the chemical bonds of glucose molecules to energy carrier molecules (ATP) that take the energy to all parts of the cell to do work. This occurs via a series of chemical reactions to capture as much chemical energy as possible (by releasing it in small increments) thereby minimizing energy lost as heat and other forms.
Catabolic Processes (pathways) – capture energy in a form cells can use by breaking down complex molecules into simpler ones via oxidation Cellular Respiration Glycolysis Fermentation Aerobic respiration Fat metabolism Protein metabolism Light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis Metabolic Processes One molecule of glucose (6-carbon sugar) is converted into two molecules of pyruvate (3 carbon sugar) via a series of chemical reactions that release the energy stored in the chemical bonds little by little resulting in the production of 2 ATP and 2 NADH molecules per glucose.
Glycolysis Metabolic pathway used by most prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms to break down glucose and capture its energy Glucose (6-carbon molecule) 2 pyruvates (3-carbon molecules) + 2 NAD ADP + 2 NADH + 2 ATP 10 steps, each involves one or more enzymes The enzymes involved in this pathway are highly conserved (found in all cells – prokaryotes and eukaryotes) Not very efficient – a lot of energy still remains tied up in the pyruvates, which can be further metabolized by organisms capable of aerobic respiration Cellular Respiration

Aerobic respiration starts in the cytoplasm with glycolysis and concludes in the mitochondria where oxygen is used to help break down pyruvate to produce ATP.

ADP + P ATP Aerobic Cellular Respiration A total of 38 ATP are produced per glucose Oxidation of Pyruvate
1.Oxidation of Pyruvate: Pyruvates (from glycolysis) enter matrix of mitochondria in eukaryotes (whole process takes place at plasma membrane in prokaryotes) Pyruvate (3-carbon compound) is converted into a 2-carbon compound Energy is released and transferred to NAD and H + to form NADH (energy carrier molecule) The carbon that was removed pairs with O 2 to form CO 2 (which exists the cell as a waste product) Aerobic Respiration Glycolysis this step Kreb’s cycle electron transport & chemiosmosis
2. Kreb’s Cycle (Citric Acid Cycle): each 2 carbon compound (acetyl CoA) is processed through a series of reactions to produce: 3 NADH, 1 FADH 2, 1 GTP, and 2 CO 2 per pyruvate (double this to calculate how many per glucose) - recall that one CO 2 was released from the last step so that is a total of 3 CO 2 per pyruvate (6 CO 2 per glucose) Aerobic Respiration
3. Electron Transport Chain (ETC): Electrons are taken from the NADH molecules and passed down a series of proteins (electron transport chain) that use energy from the FADH 2 molecules to pump H + into the intermembrane space of the mitochondria causing positively charged ions to build up inside (like what happens at the ETC in the thylakoids during the light dependent reactions of photosynthesis) 4. Chemiosmosis: ATP synthase uses energy from the movement of H+ ions flowing out of the intermembrane space to power the phosphorylation of ADP to ATP (results in 3 ATP per NADH and 2 ATP per FADH 2 ) Aerobic Respiration
