5. Hi [ATP] Fig. 16-3 Glycolysis Occurs in the cytosol Glucose metabolized to 2 pyruvate + 2 ATP High [ATP] inhibits phosphofructokinase (PFK) High [ADP] stimulates PFK Pasteur Effect : Increase in the rate of carbohydrate breakdown that occurs when switched from aerobic to anaerobic conditions

6. Step 2: Citric Acid Cycle

7. Mitochondria

8. Citric Acid Cycle

9. a.k.a. Krebs Cycle, TCA Cycle Occurs in mitochondrial matrix Pyruvate reacts with CoA to form Acetyl CoA NAD +, FAD + reduced to NADH, FADH 2, NADH, FADH 2 enter the electron transport chain

10. Step 3: Electron transport chain and oxidative phosphorylation

11. Oxidative Phosphorylation Oxidative phosphorylation is the process by which the energy stored in NADH and FADH 2 is used to produce ATP. A. Oxidation step: electron transport chain B. Phosphorylation step NADH + H + + O 2 NAD + + H 2 O 1 2 FADH 2 + O 2 1 2 FAD + H 2 O ADP + P i ATP

12. Electron Transport Chain Fig. 16-19 During electron transport, energy released is used to transport H + across the inner mitochondrial membrane to create an electrochemical gradient

13. Fig. 16-32 H+ transport results in an electrochemical gradient Proton motive force: energy released by flow of H + down its gradient is used for ATP synthesis ATP synthase: H + channel that couples energy from H + flow with ATP synthesis Oxidative Phosphorylation
