Pulling some things together… • What did the previous slide represent? • Notice that during each energy transformation, heat is lost! • What is this called?
Combustion Reactions • A chemical reaction that involves a hydrocarbon and oxygen. It produces energy (heat) so rapidly that a flame results. • The products of this reaction include carbon dioxide and water. • C(x)H(x)+O2→H2O(g)+CO2(g) • Combustion is commonly called burning. • It is an exothermic reaction.
Cells and Energy Glycolysis and respiration as source of energy for the cell How do cells make ATP? Phosphorylation! Chapter 6
Substrate level phosphorylation Uses enzymes Transfers phosphate group from an organic substrate to ADP. X-P + ADP + enzyme X + ATP Cells need to generate ATP!
Needs a membrane. Uses the potential energy to create a concentration gradient of H+ (hydrogen ions) across a membrane. Uses special enzymes, ATP synthases. Chemiosmotic Phosphorylationa.k.a. Chemiosmosis
Things to keep in mind... (we are going to go over this…) Respiration = C6H12O6 + 6O2 6CO2 + 6H2O • Exergonic or endergonic? • What is oxidized? • What is reduced? • In what form is energy released? • What is the importance of CO2 in the atmosphere? • What is the source of oxygen in the atmosphere?
Endergonic reactions: have a net absorption of E Exergonic reactions: have a net release of E. These reactions are “coupled,” one does not occur without the other! While cellular respiration, in total, is an exergonic reaction, it is made up of a series of reactions which involve both types! C6H12O6 + 6O2 6CO2 + 6H2O + ENERGY RELEASED (ATP) Reminder:
Redox Reactions • The movement of electrons from one molecule to another is an oxidation-reduction reaction. • Loss of electrons is oxidation • Gain of electrons is reduction • LEO the lion goes GER • ex. C4H6O5 + NAD+ C4H4O5 + NADH + H+ oxidized reduced
There are 2 types of cellular respiration • With oxygen: aerobic cellular respiration (What are aerobic exercises?) • Without oxygen: anaerobic cellular respiration a.k.a. fermentation

Would you like that with or without oxygen? • Aerobic - environments with oxygen • Anaerobic - environments without oxygen • Most organisms need O2 but there are some that can live in either environment and a few that must live in the absence of O2!

Review of Mitochondria • Eukaryotic organisms carry out cellular respiration in the mitochondria (power house of the cell) http://www.sci.sdsu.edu/TFrey/MitoMovies/CrisMitoMovie.htm
The Mitochondria • Double membrane • Has it’s own DNA!! • Can reproduce in cell…! • Endosymbiont?? • Possible evolution? http://hybridmedicalanimation.com/anim_mitosis_wmVideo.html
Introduction to Cellular Respiration • The process by which food molecules (glucose) are broken down to release energy (ATP) • C6H12O6 + 6O2 6CO2 + 6H2O + Energy • In eukaryotic organisms, this process takes place in the mitochondria. In prokaryotic organisms, this process takes place in the cell membrane.
Overview: Respiration occurs in 4 (5) main stages • Glycolysis • Exergonic • Occurs in the cytoplasm • Splits glucose into 2 molecules of pyruvic acid • Pyruvic acid is modified into Acetyl CoA as it diffuses into the mitochondria. • Each pyruvic acid loses a carbon to CO2 • This is a high energy fuel molecule for the next stage
Krebs Cycle Exergonic Occurs in the matrix of the mitochondria Produces CO2 as a waste product ** Main function of first 2 stages: supply 3rd stage with electrons! Electron Transport Chain and Chemiosmotic Phosphorylation Occurs on the cristae of the mitochondria Uses oxygen Produces the most ATP
1 2 3 4 Formation of acetyl coenzyme A Glycolysis Citric acid cycle Electron transport and chemiosmosis Glucose Pyruvate 2 ATP Overview of Aerobic Cellular Respiration Define the four stages of respiration and their location in the cell
Stage 1: Glycolysis glyco- : sugar (glucose) -lysis: to split
A. Glycolysis (Overview) • A molecule of glucose (6 carbon compound) is broken apart making 2 pyruvic acid compounds (3 carbons each) • 2 ATP and 2 NADH molecules produced
Glycolysis • STEP 1 - 2 phosphates are attached to glucose, forming a new 6-C compound. The phosphate groups come from 2 ATP, which are converted to ADP. (Glucose is phosphorylated!) • STEP 2 - The 6-C compound formed in Step 1 is split into 2 3-C molecules of PGAL. • STEP 3 - The 2 PGAL molecules are oxidized (LEO), and each receives a phosphate group forming 2 new 3-C compounds. The phosphate groups are provided by 2 molecules of NAD+ forming NADH.
STEP 4 - The phosphate groups added in Step 1 and Step 3 are removed from the 3-C compounds. • This reaction produces 2 molecules of Pyruvic Acid. • Each phosphate group combines with a molecule of ADP to make a molecule of ATP. • Because a total of 4 phosphate groups were added, FOUR MOLECULES OF ATP ARE PRODUCED.
Substrate-level phosphorylation • Enzymes in the cytoplasm pass a high energy phosphate to ADP to make ATP. • Not very efficient… • FYI: The high energy phosphates came from the oxidation of BPG, in the presence of an enzyme, forming PGAL (a.k.a. G3P) and ATP.
Don’t panic… you do not need to memorize this, but it will give you a greater appreciation for what really is happening to get from glucose to pyruvate! How many different enzymes are involved?
Question 1 How much ATP is needed to activate glycolysis? Glucose Energy investment phase and splitting of glucose 2 ATP 3 steps 2 ADP Fructose-1,6-bisphosphate P P 2 X Glyceraldehyde phosphate (G3P) P P (see next slide)
Question 2 How much ATP/net & ATP is produced in glycolysis? 2 X Glyceraldehyde phosphate (G3P) Energy capture phase P P (G3P) (G3P) NAD+ NAD+ NADH NADH 5 steps 2 ADP 2 ADP 2 ATP 2 ATP Net yield per glucose:? ATPs and ? NADH Pyruvate Pyruvate
Question 3 Identify the exergonic and endergonic reactions in the following exergonic coupled enzyme steps in glycolysis: • Energy investment phase: • Glucose + ATP Glucose-6-phosphate + ADP • Energy capture phase: • Phosphoenolpyruvate + ADP Pyruvate + ATP
In summary…. • 2 ATP molecules were used in Step 1, but 4 are produced in Step 4. Therefore, glycolysis has a NET YIELD of 2 ATP molecules for every molecule of glucose that is converted into Pyruvic Acid http://biology.clc.uc.edu/courses/bio104/atp.htm
2 pyruvic acid molecules Glucose + 4 H+ + energy stored in 2 ATP molecules
Glycolysis Facts: • Glycolysis is the universal E-harvesting process of life. • Because glycolysis occurs universally, it is thought to be an ancient metabolic system. • The net gain of two ATP molecules represents only 5% of the E that a cell can harvest from a glucose molecule.
If O2 is not available Fermentation alcoholic lactic acid many types of fermentation! If O2 is available Kreb cycle Pyruvic Acid’s 2 Possible Pathways
Glycolysis Glucose (C6) 2 NAD+ 2 NADH 2 ATP 2 Pyruvate (C3) CO2 2 Ethyl alcohol (C2) 2 Possible Paths if no O2 present Why must pyruvate be converted to either ethyl alcohol or lactate in the absence of oxygen? Glycolysis Glucose 2 NAD+ 2 NADH 2 ATP 2 Pyruvate 2 Lactate (C3)
Stage 2: The Preparatory Reaction Acetyl CoA Production
B.O.P. (Breakdown of Pyruvate) • 1. The 2 pyruvic acid compounds (3C) are changed into 2 2-carbon compounds and 2 molecules of CO2 • 2. Occurs in the space between the membranes of the mitochondria
Takes place as pyruvate moves into the matrix of the mitochondria
Production of Acetyl CoA • When pyruvic acid enters the mitochondrial matrix, it reacts with a molecule called coenzyme A to form Acetyl Coenzyme A, abbreviated acetyl CoA. CO2, NADH, and H+ are produced in this reaction. • Remember: There are 2 pyruvic acids formed from 1 glucose!
Question 1 How many of the six carbons of glucose are lost in this way? Pyruvate (C3) + CoA + NAD+ Acetyl(C2)CoA + CO2 +NADH
Question 2 Considering the transition reaction and the first reaction of the Krebs cycle below, how would you describe the role of Coenzyme A? Transition reaction: Pyruvate (C3) + CoA Acetyl(C2)CoA + CO2 Krebs cycle first reaction: Oxaloacetate (C4)+ AcetylCoA Citrate (C6) + CoA
Stage 3 Krebs Cycle a.k.a. Critic Acid Cycle
