  1. CELLULAR RESPIRATION How Cells Obtain Energy To Sustain Life

  2. ENERGETICS Life Requires Energy!

  3. ORIGIN OF ENERGY • Nearly all energy for life on earth comes from sunlight • Energy in sunlight is captured by photosynthesis

  4. THE BIG PICTURE

  5. CELLULAR RESPIRATION • The physical act of breathing and the process of cellular respiration share reactants and products

  6. REQUIREMENTS OF RESPIRATION • Cellular Respiration Requires:

  7. STARTING MATERIAL FOR CELLULAR RESPIRATION H O 1 C 6 CH2OH 2 H OH C 5 H H C O 3 HO C H 1 4 H C C 4 OH OH H H C HO OH 2 3 C C 5 H C OH H OH 6 H C OH H

  8. STARTING MATERIAL Glucose: • All cells must break C-bonds in glucose to release energy • Energy stored in bonds

  9. MANY REACTIONS REQUIRE AN INPUT OF ENERGY • Many Reactions in Cells are Not Spontaneous

  10. MANY REACTIONS REQUIRE AN INPUT OF ENERGY

  11. MANY REACTIONS REQUIRE AN INPUT OF ENERGY HYDROLYSIS OF ATP RELEASES ENERGY Pi P P P P P H2O Energy Water Inorganic phosphate + ADP + + ATP 7.3 kcal/molATP • Bonds in ATP hold significant amount of energy!

  12. CATYLSTS INCREASE RATES OF REACTION • Even with enough energy, there is no guarantee rxns will proceed at a suitable speed

  13. CATYLSTS INCREASE RATES OF REACTION Lock & Key Model: • Substrate fits into enzyme like a key fits into a lock • Enzyme then catalyzes the chemical reaction and releases the products

  14. CATYLSTS INCREASE RATES OF REACTION Substrate Enzyme LOCK & KEY MODEL OF ENZYME AND SUBSTRATE Substrate (Key) A B —C A—B C A B C Shape change Enzyme (Lock)

  15. CATYLSTS INCREASE RATES OF REACTION Enzymes:

  16. MOLECULAR HELPERS Two Molecules Help Cell Respiration Proceed: • Carry (and store) high energy electrons • Later transfer energy to other molecules

  17. OXIDATION-REDUCTION REACTIONS OIL RIG Oxidation = Reduction =

  18. CELLULAR RESPIRATION IS A SERIES OF REDOX REACTIONS In Cellular Respiration: • Oxidation of C in glucose tied to reduction of other • molecules (ex:NAD+)
