Several processes are central to cellular respiration and related pathways

Production of ATP The breakdown of organic molecules is exergonic Fermentation is a partial degradation of sugars that occurs without oxygen Cellular respiration consumes oxygen and organic molecules and yields ATP Although carbohydrates, fats, and proteins are all consumed as fuel, it is helpful to trace cellular respiration with the sugar glucose: C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6O 2  6CO 2 + 6H 2 O + Energy (ATP + heat)

The transfer of electrons during chemical reactions releases energy stored in organic molecules This released energy is ultimately used to synthesize ATP

During cellular respiration, the fuel (such as glucose) is oxidized and oxygen is reduced: C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6O 2 6CO 2 + 6H 2 O + Energy becomes oxidized becomes reduced

the Electron Transport Chain In cellular respiration, glucose and other organic molecules are broken down in a series of steps Electrons from organic compounds are usually first transferred to NAD +, a coenzyme As an electron acceptor, NAD + functions as an oxidizing agent during cellular respiration Each NADH (the reduced form of NAD + ) represents stored energy that is tapped to synthesize ATP

NADH passes the electrons to the electron transport chain Unlike an uncontrolled reaction, the electron transport chain passes electrons in a series of steps instead of one explosive reaction Oxygen pulls electrons down the chain in an energy-yielding tumble The energy yielded is used to regenerate ATP

The Stages of Cellular Respiration: A Preview Cellular respiration has three stages: –Glycolysis (breaks down glucose into two molecules of pyruvate) –Kreb’s cycle –Electron Transport System The process that generates most of the ATP is called oxidative phosphorylation because it is powered by redox reactions

Oxidative phosphorylation accounts for almost 90% of the ATP generated by cellular respiration (electron transport system) A small amount of ATP is formed in glycolysis and the Krebs cycle

Glycolysis harvests energy by oxidizing glucose to pyruvate Glycolysis (“splitting of sugar”) breaks down glucose into two molecules of pyruvate Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm and has two major phases: –Energy investment phase –Energy payoff phase

The Krebs cycle completes the energy-yielding oxidation of organic molecules Before the Krebs cycle can begin, pyruvate must be converted to acetyl CoA, which links the cycle to glycolysis

The NADH and FADH 2 produced by the cycle relay electrons extracted from food to the electron transport chain

Following glycolysis and the Krebs cycle, NADH and FADH 2 account for most of the energy extracted from food These two electron carriers donate electrons to the electron transport chain, which powers ATP synthesis via oxidative phosphorylation

The Pathway of Electron Transport The electron transport chain is in the cristae of the mitochondrion Most of the chain’s components are proteins, which exist in multiprotein complexes The carriers alternate reduced and oxidized states as they accept and donate electrons Electrons drop in free energy as they go down the chain and are finally passed to O 2, forming water

The electron transport chain generates no ATP The chain’s function is to break the large free-energy drop from food to O 2 into smaller steps that release energy in manageable amounts

Chemiosmosis: The Energy- Coupling Mechanism Electron transfer in the electron transport chain causes proteins to pump H + from the mitochondrial matrix to the intermembrane space H + then moves back across the membrane, passing through channels in ATP synthase ATP synthase uses the flow of H + to drive phosphorylation of ATP This is an example of chemiosmosis, the use of energy in a H + gradient to drive cellular work

An Accounting of ATP Production by Cellular Respiration During cellular respiration, most energy flows in this sequence: glucose  NADH  electron transport chain  proton-motive force  ATP About 40% of the energy in a glucose molecule is transferred to ATP during cellular respiration, making about 38 ATP

Fermentation enables some cells to produce ATP without the use of oxygen Cellular respiration requires O 2 to produce ATP Glycolysis can produce ATP with or without O 2 (in aerobic or anaerobic conditions) In the absence of O 2, glycolysis couples with fermentation to produce ATP

Types of Fermentation Fermentation consists of glycolysis plus reactions that regenerate NAD +, which can be reused by glycolysis Two common types are alcohol fermentation and lactic acid fermentation

In alcohol fermentation, pyruvate is converted to ethanol in two steps, with the first releasing CO 2 Alcohol fermentation by yeast is used in brewing, winemaking, and baking

In lactic acid fermentation, pyruvate is reduced to NADH, forming lactate as an end product, with no release of CO 2 Lactic acid fermentation by some fungi and bacteria is used to make cheese and yogurt Human muscle cells use lactic acid fermentation to generate ATP when O 2 is scarce

Fermentation and Cellular Respiration Compared Both processes use glycolysis to oxidize glucose and other organic fuels to pyruvate The processes have different final electron acceptors: an organic molecule (such as pyruvate) in fermentation and O 2 in cellular respiration Cellular respiration produces much more ATP

Concept 9.6: Glycolysis and the citric acid cycle connect to many other metabolic pathways Gycolysis and the Krebs cycle are major intersections to various catabolic and anabolic pathways

The Versatility of Catabolism Catabolic pathways funnel electrons from many kinds of organic molecules into cellular respiration Glycolysis accepts a wide range of carbohydrates Proteins must be digested to amino acids; amino groups can feed glycolysis or the citric acid cycle Fats are digested to glycerol (used in glycolysis) and fatty acids (used in generating acetyl CoA) An oxidized gram of fat produces more than twice as much ATP as an oxidized gram of carbohydrate
