What is energy in biology? ATP Adenosine TriPhosphate
ATP food ATP + 6CO2 + 6H2O C6H12O6 + 6O2 glucose+oxygenenergy+carbon+ water dioxide O2 Harvesting energy stored in food • Cellular respiration • breaking down food to produce ATP • in mitochondria • using oxygen • “aerobic” respiration • usually digesting glucose • but could be other sugars, fats, or proteins
food O2 ATP CO2 H2O What do we need to make energy? • The “Furnace” for making energy • mitochondria • Fuel • food:carbohydrates, fats, proteins • Helpers • oxygen • enzymes • Product • ATP • Waste products • carbon dioxide • then used by plants • water enzymes
Using ATP to do work? ATP • Can’t store ATP • too unstable • only used in cell that produces it • only short term energy storage • carbohydrates & fats are long term energy storage work Adenosine TriPhosphate Adenosine DiPhosphate ADP A working muscle recycles over 10 million ATPs per second
glucose pyruvate 6C 3C 2x Glycolysis • Breaking down glucose • “glyco – lysis” (splitting sugar) • ancient pathway which harvests energy • where energy transfer first evolved • transfer energy from organic molecules to ATP • still is starting point for ALL cellular respiration • but it’s inefficient • generate only2 ATP for every 1 glucose • occurs in cytosol
Evolutionary perspective • Prokaryotes • first cells had no organelles • Anaerobic atmosphere • life on Earth first evolved withoutfree oxygen (O2) in atmosphere • energy had to be captured from organic molecules in absence of O2 • Prokaryotes that evolved glycolysis are ancestors of all modern life • ALL cells still utilize glycolysis

glucose pyruvate 6C 3C 2x pyruvate CO2 Glycolysis is only the start • Glycolysis • Pyruvate has more energy to yield • More e- to remove • if O2 is available, pyruvate enters mitochondria • enzymes of Krebs cycle complete the full breakdown of sugar to CO2 3C 1C
outer membrane intermembrane space inner membrane cristae matrix mitochondrialDNA Mitochondria — Structure • Double membrane energy harvesting organelle • smooth outer membrane • highly folded inner membrane • cristae • intermembrane space • fluid-filled space between membranes • matrix • inner fluid-filled space • DNA, ribosomes • enzymes • free in matrix & membrane-bound
[ ] 2x pyruvate acetyl CoA + CO2 NAD Production of Acetyl CoA • Pyruvate enters mitochondrial matrix • 3 step process • releases 2 CO2(count the carbons!) • reduces 2NAD 2 NADH (moves e-) • produces 2acetyl CoA • Acetyl CoA enters Krebs cycle 1C 3C 2C

1937 | 1953 Krebs cycle • aka Citric Acid Cycle • in mitochondrial matrix • 8 step pathway • each catalyzed by specific enzyme • step-wise catabolism of 6C citrate molecule • Evolved later than glycolysis • does that make evolutionary sense? • bacteria 3.5 billion years ago (glycolysis) • free O22.7 billion years ago (photosynthesis) • eukaryotes 1.5 billion years ago (aerobic respiration = organelles mitochondria) Hans Krebs 1900-1981

ATP accounting so far… • Glycolysis 2ATP • Kreb’s cycle 2ATP • Life takes a lot of energy to run, need to extract more energy than 4 ATP! There’s got to be a better way! I need a lotmore ATP! A working muscle recycles over 10 million ATPs per second
O2 There is a better way! • Electron Transport Chain • series of proteins built into inner mitochondrial membrane • along cristae • transport proteins& enzymes • transport of electrons down ETC linked to pumping of H+ to create H+ gradient • yields ~38 ATP from 1 glucose! • only in presence of O2 (aerobic respiration)
Mitochondria • Double membrane • outer membrane • inner membrane • highly folded cristae • enzymes & transport proteins • intermembrane space • fluid-filled space between membranes

H2O O2 But what “pulls” the electrons down the ETC?
Electrons flow downhill • Electrons move in steps from carrier to carrier downhill to oxygen • each carrier more electronegative • controlled oxidation • controlled release of energy
H+ H+ H+ H+ H+ H+ H+ H+ ADP + Pi H+ “proton-motive” force We did it! • Set up a H+ gradient • Allow the protonsto flow through ATP synthase • Synthesizes ATP ADP + PiATP ATP
Chemiosmosis • The diffusion of ions across a membrane • build up of concentration gradient just so H+ could flow through ATP synthase enzyme to build ATP Chemiosmosis links the Electron Transport Chain to ATP synthesis

O2 What if oxygen is missing? • No oxygen available = can’t complete aerobic respiration • Fermentation • alcohol fermentation • lactic acid fermentation • no oxygen or no mitochondria (bacteria) • Anaerobic process • can only make very little ATP • large animals cannot survive yeast bacteria
O2 Fermentation • alcohol fermentation • yeast • glucose ATP + CO2+ alcohol • make beer, wine, bread • lactic acid fermentation • bacteria, animals • glucose ATP + lactic acid • bacteria make yogurt • animals feel muscle fatigue
