  1. Cellular Respiration Chapter 9

  2. Finding Energy • All energy ultimately comes from the sun • Energy flows into an ecosystem as sunlight and leaves as heat • Chemical components are recycled

  3. Redox Reactions • Energy is released from the transfer of e-’s • Oxidation is a loss of (hydrogen) e-’s • Reduction is a gain of (hydrogen) e-’s • Reduce (+) charge of an atom by adding a (-) charge e- • LEO goes GER or OIL RIG • Always occur together

  4. Organic Molecules as Fuel • Organic molecules have high abundance of hydrogen • Energy released as O2 oxidizes (accepts e-’s from) H2 • e-’s travel with a proton (hydrogen atom) • PE lost as e-’s ‘fall’ down an energy gradient (move towards more EN molecule) • Lower energy state from less complex molecules • Enzymes needed to facilitate in animals because of energy of activation (EA)

  5. Electron Transport Train • Glucose (C6H12O6) is oxidized during cellular respiration • Occurs in steps to effectively access and use energy (avoids explosions) • e-’s transferred to an electron carrier, not directly to O2 • Coenzyme NAD+as an oxidizing agent (e- acceptor) • Dehydrogenase removes a pair of hydrogen atoms (2 e-’s and 2 protons)

  6. Controlling Energy Release • With no intermediates reaction = explosion • Little PE lost with e- transfer to NAD+ • Each NADH stores energy for ‘fall’ to O2 (final e- acceptor) • Electron transport chain, proteins within inner mitochondrial membrane,controls • Each carrier more EN than previous

  7. Cellular Respiration • 3 metabolic stages • Glycolysis: in cytosol, breaks down glucose into pyruvate • Citric acid cycle: in mitochondrial matrix, oxidizes pyruvate to create CO2 • Oxidative phosphorylation: mitochondrial matrix, e-’s to O2 and H+ = H2O and synthesizes ATP • Makes 36-38 ATP • Glucoses stores 686 kcal/mol of energy in bonds • ATP has 7.3 kcal/mol • Single, large unit of energy broken into smaller, more usable forms

  8. Glycolysis • Glucose (6C) 2 pyruvate (3C) • No CO2 released • Substrate-level phosphorylation • Can occur with or without O2 • O2 needed for citric acid cycle • No O2 then fermentation

  9. Transition Step • Pyruvate (3C) acetyl-CoA (2C) • High energy product so reacts exergonically • Decarboxylation is loss of CO2 • ‘Grooming’ for citric acid cycle

  10. Citric Acid Cycle (2 C’s) • Within mitochondria • Intermediate steps • Acetyl-CoA becomes citrate • CO2 and NADH leave as number of carbons reduces to 4 • FADH2 and an additional NADH leave • Oxaloacetate joins 2nd acetyl-CoA to reform citrate • Cycle repeats • 2 turns per 1 glucose Acetyl-CoA ATP + 3 NADH + FADH2 + CO2 Citrate (6 C’s) Oxaloacetate (4C’s) (4 C) molecule

  11. Oxidative Phosphorylation • 2 processes = ETC and chemiosmosis within inner mitochondrial membrane • NADH and FADH2 store most energy till now • Hydrogen concentration gradient setup • Components are protein pumps

  12. Electron Transport Chain • NADH and FADH2 bring e-’s to ETC complex • Oxidized when they lose e- to a lower neighbor (higher EN) • No direct ATP, control of energy release from fuel to oxygen (final acceptor) • Smaller, more manageable energy sources • FADH2 adds to lower energy level • Produce third less energy for ATP synthesis • Sets up a H+ concentration gradient

  13. Chemiosmosis • Energy stored as H+ gradient across a membrane drives cellular work • H+ ions pumped out by ETC • Sets up the gradient to drives ATP synthesis • ATP synthase is a protein complex that makes ATP from ADP and Pi • Endergonic reaction of ATP synthesis is coupled with exergonic ETC

  14. Cellular REspiration C6H12O6 + 6O2 6H2O + 6CO2 + 36-38 ATP + heat 1 NADH = 3 ATP 1 FADH2 = 2 ATP

  15. Oxidizing Fuel without Oxygen • Anaerobic respiration • ETC, but O2 not final e- acceptor • Fermentation • Primary purpose is to recycle NADH to NAD+ not ATP production • Pyruvate picks up e-’s (reduced) • Glycolysis • Occurs because NAD+ is oxidizer, not O2 • NAD+ recycling • NADH transfers e-’s to pyruvate to recycle NAD+

  16. Fermentation • Alcohol fermentation • Pyruvate to ethanol • Lose CO2 then reduced by NADH • In bacteria and yeast; makes bread, beer, and wine • Lactic acid fermentation • Pyruvate directly by NADH to lactate • No CO2 released • To make cheese and yogurt
