  1. Chapter 6 How cells harvest chemical energy Musebio101 summer 2010

  2. Photosynthesis and cellular respiration provide energy for life • Energy is necessary for life processes • These include growth, transport, manufacture, movement, reproduction, and others • Energy that supports life on Earth is captured from sun rays reaching Earth through plant, algae, protist, and bacterial photosynthesis

  3. Sunlight energy ECOSYSTEM Photosynthesis in chloroplasts Glucose CO2 + + O2 H2O Cellular respiration in mitochondria ATP (for cellular work) Heat energy

  4. Cellular respiration banks energy in ATP molecules • Cellular respiration is an exergonic process that transfers energy from the bonds in glucose to ATP • Cellular respiration produces 38 ATP molecules from each glucose molecule • Other foods (organic molecules) can be used as a source of energy as well

  5. Introduction to Metabolism • Cells break down organic molecules to obtain energy • Used to generate ATP • Most energy production takes place in mitochondria

  6. Metabolism • Metabolism – refers to all chemical reaction occurring in body • Catabolism – break down complex molecules • Exergonic – produce more energy than they consume • Anabolism – combine simple molecules into complex ones • Endergonic – consume more energy than they produce • Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) • “energy currency” • ADP + P + energy ↔ ATP

  7. Reactants Amount of energy released Potential energy of molecules Energy released Products

  8. Metabolism • Catabolism • Is the breakdown of organic substrates • Releases energy used to synthesize high-energy compounds (e.g., ATP) • Anabolism • Is the synthesis of new organic molecules

  9. Cellular respiration is a catabolic reaction + CO2 H2O C6H12O6 6 ATPs + 6 O2 + 6 Carbon dioxide Glucose Oxygen Water Energy

  10. Waste products Energy conversion Fuel Heat Cellular respiration Carbon dioxide Glucose Oxygen Water Energy for cellular work Energy conversion in a cell

  11. Phosphorylation Hydrolysis Energy for endergonic reactions Energy from exergonic reactions

  12. Role of ATP in linking anabolic and catabolic reactions

  13. Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) Phosphate group Adenine Ribose Hydrolysis + Diphosphate (ADP) Adenosine

  14. Carbohydrate Metabolism • Mitochondrial Membranes • Outer membrane • Contains large-diameter pores • Permeable to ions and small organic molecules (pyruvic acid) • Inner membrane • Contains carrier protein • Moves pyruvic acid into mitochondrial matrix • Intermembrane space • Separates outer and inner membranes

  15. Chemical energy (high-energy electrons) Chemical energy Electron transport chain and oxidative phosphorylation Glycolysis Krebs cycle Pyruvic acid Glucose Mitochondrial cristae Mitochondrion Cytosol Via oxidative phosphorylation Via substrate-level phosphorylation 1 2 3 During glycolysis, each glucose molecule is broken down into two molecules of pyruvic acid in the cytosol. Energy-rich electrons picked up bycoenzymes are transferred to the electron transport chain, built into the cristae membrane. The electron transport chain carries out oxidative phosphorylation, which accounts for most of the ATP generated by cellular respiration. The pyruvic acid then enters the mitochondrial matrix, where the Krebs cycle decomposes it to CO2. During glycolysis and the Krebs cycle, small amounts of ATP are formed by substrate- level phosphorylation. Figure 24.5

  16. Cellular respiration begins with glycolysis

  17. Carbohydrate Metabolism • Glucose Breakdown • Occurs in small steps • Which release energy to convert ADP to ATP • One molecule of glucose nets 36 molecules of ATP • Glycolysis • Breaks down glucose in cytosol into smaller molecules used by mitochondria • Does not require oxygen: anaerobic reaction • Aerobic Reactions • Also called aerobic metabolism or cellular respiration • Occur in mitochondria, consume oxygen, and produce ATP

  24. Glycolysis evolved early in the history of life on Earth • Glycolysis is the universal energy-harvesting process of living organisms • So, all cells can use glycolysis for the energy necessary for viability • The fact that glycolysis has such a widespread distribution is good evidence for evolution

  25. Carbohydrate Metabolism • Oxidation and Reduction • Oxidation (loss of electrons) • Electron donor is oxidized • Reduction (gain of electrons) • Electron recipient is reduced • The two reactions are always paired

  26. Energy transfer • Oxidation-reduction or redox reactions • Oxidation – removal of electrons • Decrease in potential energy • Dehydrogenation – removal of hydrogens • Liberated hydrogen transferred by coenzymes • Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) • Flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) • Glucose is oxidized • Reduction – addition of electrons • Increase in potential energy

  27. Carbohydrate Metabolism • The TCA Cycle (citric acid cycle) • The function of the citric acid cycle is • To remove hydrogen atoms from organic molecules and transfer them to coenzymes • In the mitochondrion • Pyruvic acid reacts with NAD and coenzyme A (CoA) • Producing 1 CO2, 1 NADH, 1 acetyl-CoA • Acetyl group transfers • From acetyl-CoA to oxaloacetic acid • Produces citric acid

The electron transport chain carries out oxidative phosphorylation, which accounts for most of the ATP generated by cellular respiration. 1 2 3 During glycolysis, each glucose molecule is broken down into two molecules of pyruvic acid in the cytosol. The pyruvic acid then enters the mitochondrial matrix, where the Krebs cycle decomposes it to CO2. During glycolysis and the Krebs cycle, small amounts of ATP are formed by substrate- level phosphorylation.

  47. Review • Energy is harvested from high energy glucose by the mitochondria • The process begins in the cytoplasm with glycolysis where glucose is converted to pyruvate • The TCA cycle (Krebs cycle) harvests energy from the pyruvate and stores it as reduced electron carrier molecules • The carrier molecules cash in these electrons for ATP in the electron transport chain if oxygen is available

  48. Review (cont) • 2 net ATP are made from each glucose in glycolysis • 34 additional ATP are made from each glucose if oxygen is available to help run the TCA cycle and electron transport chain
