  1. Cell Respiration Chapter 9

  2. Why Respire? • Living cells require energy transfusions to perform most of their tasks • From external sources • Assembling polymers • (what is the general reaction called?) • Pumping substances across their gradient • (what is the generic reference for this process? Where did we see this in Lab 1?) • Moving

  3. Notes on Previous Slide • Energy flows into an ecosystem as sunlight • Leaves as heat • Why can’t energy just be created? • Which Law of Thermodynamics helps explain this flow? • Essential chemical elements of life are recycled • Photosynthesis (plants) make Oxygen and Sugars • Cellular respiration take oxygen and sugars, make CO2 and H2O & energy • The products of respiration (CO2 and H2O) are the raw materials of photosynthesis

  4. Cellular Respiration • Cellular respiration is catabolic • Catabolic processes are exergonic • Energy release from glucose is used to phosphorylate ADP  ATP • So cellular respiration burns fuels and uses the energy to regenerate ATP • Life processes constantly consume ATP

  5. Respiration Overall • Food  Glucose  NADH  ATP • Glycolysis  Pyruvate Oxidation  Kreb’s Cycle  Oxidative Phosphorylation • Cytoplasm  Mitochondrion  Matrix  Inner Mitochondrial Membrane

  6. 2 Respiration Pathways • Cell Respiration • Called Aerobic Respiration • Requires Oxygen • Generates 36 or 38 ATP per glucose • Fermentation • Called Anaerobic Respiration • Oxygen NOT needed • Ethanol or Lactic Acid forms • Generates 2 ATP per glucose

  7. 3 Stages of Respiration • Glycolysis • Decomposes glucose • 6-Carbon to 2 (3-Carbon molecules) • Occurs in cytosol • Citric Acid Cycle • Continues decomposing 2-Carbon into CO2 • Mitochondrial matrix • Oxidative Phosphorylation • ETC + Chemiosmosis • Powered by redoxrxns • Method of ATP synthesis • Across inner mitochondrial membrane

  8. Cellular Respiration

  9. Questions • Is respiration exergonic or endergonic? Why? • Is fermentation exergonic or endergonic? Why? • Does respiration require enzymes? • What are the 2 catabolic pathways? • How do they differ?

  10. Questions (Page 2) • What are the 4 parts of cellular respiration? • Which of the parts produce ATP? • Which of the parts produce NADH? • Which part(s) of cellular respiration require oxygen?

  11. Glycolysis • Splitting of glucose • Cytosol (cytoplasm) • 6-Carbon molecule  2 (3-Carbon molecules) • 2 Phases • Energy Investment (Consumes 2 ATP) • Energy Payoff (Produces 4 ATP)

  12. Pyruvate Oxidation • Pyruvate  Acetyl CoA • 3-Carbon  2-Carbon • Needs to get into the mitochondrion • Transport protein • Produces • NADH or FADH2 • CO2

  13. Citric Acid Cycle • Called Kreb’s Cycle OR TricarboxylicAcic Cycle (TCA) • Mitochondria • Produces • CO2 • NADH • FADH2 • ATP (Actually GTP  ATP)

  14. Questions • What is Glycolysis? • What is produced in Glycolysis? • Where does Glycolysis occur in a eukaryotic cell? • Where does it occur in a prokaryotic cell?

  15. Oxidative Phosphorylation • 2 Parts: • Electron Transport Chain • Chemiosmosis • Electron Transport Chain • Embedded in inner mitochondrial membrane • Pumps Protons out of the matrix into the intermembrane space • Establishes electrochemical gradient • Chemiosmosis • ATP Synthase makes ATP

  16. A Different Perspective • Glycolysis & Citric Acid Cycle • Redoxrxns • Decompose glucose into CO2 • Transfers electrons from Glucose to NAD+ (NADH is formed) • Oxidative Phosphorylation • Accepts electrons from NADH and uses them to drive ATP synthesis • Series of steps • O2 is the final electron acceptor, forms H2O

  17. Questions • What are the 4 Parts of Cellular Respiration? • What is the purpose of Pyruvate Oxidation? • What is produced in Pyruvate Oxidation? • For each glucose, how many pyruvate oxidations occur?

  18. Questions (Page 2) • Where does the TCA cycle occur in a eukaryotic cell? • Where does it occur in a prokaryotic cell? • What are the 2 alternate names for the TCA cycle?

  19. Questions (Page 3) • For each glucose, how many turns of the TCA cycle occur? • Each turn of the TCA cycle produces how much: • CO2? • ATP? • NADH? • FADH2?

  20. Fermentation • 2 Forms • Lactic Acid fermentation (2 ATP) • Alcoholic fermentation (2 ATP + 2 CO2) • Glycolysis + 1 extra step (Recycles NAD+) • Does NOT require oxygen

  21. Fermentation • Lactic Acid Fermentation • 3-Carbon  3-Carbon • 3-carbon = Lactate or Lactic acid (What functional group?) • Muscles • Alcoholic Fermentation • 3-Carbon  2-Carbon • 2-Carbon = Ethanol (What functional group?) • CO2 • Beer or wine
