4. Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Catabolic Pathways and Production of ATP The breakdown of organic molecules is exergonic 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)

5. Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Redox Reactions: Oxidation and Reduction The transfer of electrons during chemical reactions releases energy stored in organic molecules This released energy is ultimately used to synthesize ATP

6. Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings The Principle of Redox Chemical reactions that transfer electrons between reactants are called oxidation-reduction reactions, or redox reactions In oxidation, a substance loses electrons, or is oxidized In reduction, a substance gains electrons, or is reduced (the amount of positive charge is reduced) Xe - + Y X + Ye - becomes oxidized (loses electron) becomes reduced (gains electron)

7. Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Oxidation of Organic Fuel Molecules During Cellular Respiration 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

8. Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Stepwise Energy Harvest via NAD + and 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

12. Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings The Stages of Cellular Respiration: A Preview Cellular respiration has three stages: – Glycolysis (breaks down glucose into two molecules of pyruvate) – The citric acid cycle (completes the breakdown of glucose) – Oxidative phosphorylation (accounts for most of the ATP synthesis) The process that generates most of the ATP is called oxidative phosphorylation because it is powered by redox reactions

16. Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings 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

18. Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings The citric acid cycle completes the energy-yielding oxidation of organic molecules Before the citric acid cycle can begin, pyruvate must be converted to acetyl CoA, which links the cycle to glycolysis

20. Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings The citric acid cycle, also called the Krebs cycle, takes place within the mitochondrial matrix The cycle oxidizes organic fuel derived from pyruvate, generating one ATP, 3 NADH, and 1 FADH 2 per turn

22. Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings The citric acid cycle has eight steps, each catalyzed by a specific enzyme The acetyl group of acetyl CoA joins the cycle by combining with oxaloacetate, forming citrate The next seven steps decompose the citrate back to oxaloacetate, making the process a cycle The NADH and FADH 2 produced by the cycle relay electrons extracted from food to the electron transport chain

23. Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings During oxidative phosphorylation, chemiosmosis couples electron transport to ATP synthesis Following glycolysis and the citric acid 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

24. Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings 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

26. Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings 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

27. Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings 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 exergonic 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

A stator anchored in the membrane holds the knob stationary. A rod (or “stalk”) extending into the knob also spins, activating catalytic sites in the knob. Three catalytic sites in the stationary knob join inorganic phosphate to ADP to make ATP.

29. Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings The energy stored in a H + gradient across a membrane couples the redox reactions of the electron transport chain to ATP synthesis The H + gradient is referred to as a proton-motive force, emphasizing its capacity to do work

Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings 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

33. Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Concept 9.5: 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

34. Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings 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

35. Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings 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

37. Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings 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

39. Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings 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

41. Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings 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
