  1. CHAPTER 9CELLULAR RESPIRATION: HARVESTING CHEMICAL ENERGY Section B: The Process of Cellular Respiration

  2. Section B: The Process of Cellular Respiration • Respiration involves glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and electron transport • Glycolysis harvests chemical energy by oxidizing glucose to pyruvate (in cytoplasm) • 3. The Krebs cycle completes the energy-yielding oxidation of organic molecules (in motochonderial matrix) • 4. The electron transport chain to synthesisATP (inner mitochondrial membrane) • 5. Cellular respiration generates many ATP molecules for each sugar molecule it oxidizes (38 ATP molecule)

  3. Respiration involves glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and electron transport • Respiration occurs in three metabolic stages: glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain and oxidative phosphorylation. • Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm. • It begins catabolism by breaking glucose into two molecules of pyruvate. Fig. 9.6, Page 160 • The Krebs cycle occurs in the mitochondrial matrix. • It degrades pyruvate to carbon dioxide. • Several steps in glycolysis and the Krebs cycle transfer electrons from substrates to NAD+, forming NADH. • NADH passes these electrons to the electron transport chain.

  4. As electrons passed along the chain, their energy stored in the mitochondrion in a form that can be used to synthesize ATPviaoxidative phosphorylation. • Oxidative phosphorylation produces almost 90% of the ATP generated by respiration. • Some ATP is also generated in glycolysis and in Krebs cycle by substrate-level phosphorylation. • Here an enzyme transfers a phosphate group from an organic molecule (the substrate) to ADP, forming ATP. • Ultimately 38 ATP are produced per mole of glucose that is degraded to carbon CO2 and H2O by respiration. Fig. 9.7, Page 161

  5. 1- Glycolysis (splitting glucose): harvests chemical energy by oxidizing glucose to 2pyruvate • During glycolysis, glucose (a six carbon-sugar) is split into two molecules (each is three-carbon sugar). • These smaller sugars are oxidized and rearranged to form two molecules of pyruvate. • Each of the 10 steps in glycolysis is catalyzed by a specific enzyme. • These steps can be divided into two phases: A)- Energy investment phase:إستهلاك طاقة ATP is consumed to provides activation energy by phosphorylating glucose (this requires 2 ATP per glucose). B)- Energy payoff phase:إنتاج طاقة ATP is produced by substrate-level phosphorylation and NAD+ is reduced to NADH. • 4 ATP and 2NADH are produced per glucose. • Thus, the net yield from glycolysis is 2 ATP and 2 NADH per glucose. • Glycolysis occurs in the absence of O2, thus, No CO2 is produced Fig. 9.8

  6. Page 161 Summary of Glycolysis (Splitting of glucose) It is the process of breaking a glucose into 2 Pyruvate. It is a source for some ATP & NADHand occurs in the CYTOSOL (cytoplasm). It has two phases (See Fig. 9.9, Page 162) A)- Energy investment phase 1)- Glucose is phosphorylated twice by adding 2 P coming from 2 ATP (substrate-level-phosphorylation). 2)- Thus, Glucose (6-C) splits into two small sugarmolecules (each with 3-C).

  7. Summary of Glycolysis (Splitting of glucose) B)- Energy pay-off phase See Fig. 9.9, Page 163 3)- The two resulting 3-C-sugars are then oxidized (losing e- (H)). 4)- The resulting e-from the two3-C-sugar are used for reducing 2NAD+into 2 NADH molecules viadehydrogenase. 5)- 4ATP are formed by adding 4P to 4ADP molecules. 6)- The net yield of this process is the formation of 2 NADH, 2 ATPand 2 pyruvate molecules. 7)- Now pyruvate is ready for Krebs Cycle.

  8. 2. The Krebs cycle completes the energy-yielding oxidation of organic molecules (in mitochondrial matrix): • If O2 is present, pyruvate enters the mitochondrion where enzymes of the Krebs cycle complete the oxidation of this organic fuel to CO2. • As pyruvate enters the mitochondrion which modifies pyruvate to acetyl-CoA which enters the Krebs cycle in the matrix. • A carboxyl group is removed as CO2. • A pair of electrons is transferred from the remaining two-carbon fragment to NAD+ to form NADH. • The oxidized fragment, acetate, combines with coenzyme A to form acetyl-CoA. Fig. 9.10, Page 164

  9. 2. The Krebs cycle completes the energy-yielding oxidation of organic molecules (in mitochondrial matrix): It is the process of producing some of the remaining energy fromthe Pyruvate molecules. It occurs mainly in mitochondrial matrix. It is the main source for preparing most of the cellular NADH (storing energy molecule), and for producing some more of the cellularATP. It includes two cycles : Pre-Krebs cycle المرحلة التحضيرية Krebs cycle

  10. Fig. 9.10, Page 164 2 NAD+ 2Acetyle-CoA 2Pyruvate CoA Krebs Cycle A)- Pre-Krebs cycle Pyruvate is converted into acetyle-CoA in the presence of O2 through 3 steps a)- C=O- group of pyruvate is released as CO2. b)- The remaining two-C fragments are oxidized (releasing e-) intoacetate and the resulting e- transform NAD+ into NADH. c)- The coenzyme-A (CoA) transform acetate compound into acetyle-CoA, which will be ready for Krebs Cycle for further oxidation. 2 NADH+H+ + CO2 + H2O

  11. Pre-Krebs Cycle Output Flavin Adenine Dinucleotide B)- Krebs cycle It has eight steps starting with 2 acetyle-CoA compunds. They are summarized as in Fig. 9.12: • This cycle begins when acetate from each acetyl-CoA combines with oxaloacetate (4 C atoms) to form citrate (citric acid). • Ultimately, the oxaloacetate is recycled and the acetate is broken down to CO2. • Each cycle produces one ATP by substrate-level phosphorylation, three NADH, and one FADH2 (another electron carrier) per acetyl CoA. Thus, the outcome of the two cycles is (for the 2 Acetyle-CoA molecules): 2 ATP 6 NADH 2 FADH2 Fig. 9.12, Page 166

  12. 4. The inner mitochondrial membrane couples electron transport to ATP synthesis (90% of ATP) • Only 4 of 38 ATP ultimately produced by respiration of glucose are derived from substrate-level phosphorylation (2 from glycolysis and 2 from Krebs Cycle). • The vast majority of the ATP (90%) comes from the energy in the electrons carried by NADH and FADH2. • The energy in these electrons is used in the electron transport chain to power لتدعم ATP synthesis. • Thousands of copies of the electron transport chain are found in the extensive surface of the cristae (the inner membrane of the mitochondrion). • Electrons drop in free energy as they pass down the electron transport chain.

  13. Electrons carried by NADH are transferred to the first molecule in the electron transport chain (the flavoprotein). • The electrons carried by FADH2 have lower free energy and are added to a later point in the chain. • Electrons from NADH or FADH2 ultimately pass to oxygen. • The electron transport chain generates no ATP directly. Rather, its function is to break the large free energy drop from food to oxygen into a series of smaller steps that release energy in manageable amounts كميات مناسبة. • The movement of electrons along the electron transport chain does contribute to chemiosmosisالدفع الكيميائى (ATP synthesis process). Fig. 9.13

  14. ATP-synthase, in the cristae actually makes ATP from ADP and Pi. • ATP used the energy of an existing proton gradient to power ATP synthesis. • This proton gradient develops between the intermembrane space and the matrix. • This concentration of H+ is the proton-motive force. • The ATP synthase molecules are the only place that will allow H+ to diffuse back to the matrix. • This flow of H+ is used by the enzyme to generate ATP a process called chemiosmosis. • Chemiosmosis:(osmos = puch) is the oxidative phosphorelation that results in ATP production in the inner membrane of mitochondria. Fig. 9.14

  15. Energy of NADH and FADH2 give a maximum yield of 34 ATP is produced by oxidative phosphorylation. Fig. 9.15, Page 168

  16. 5. Cellular respiration generates many ATP molecules for each sugar molecule it oxidizes • During respiration, most energy flows from glucose -> NADH -> electron transport chain -> proton-motive force -> ATP. • One six-carbon glucose molecule is oxidized to 6 CO2 molecules. • Some ATP is produced by substrate-level phosphorylation during glycolysis and the Krebs cycle, but most ATP comes from oxidative phosphorylation (through electron transport chain). • Each NADH from the Krebs cycle and the conversion of pyruvate contributes enough energy to generate a maximum of 3 ATP. • Each FADH2 from the Krebs cycle can be used to generate about 2ATP. • Energy produced in electron transport chain gives a maximum yield of 34 ATP by oxidative phosphorylation via ATP-synthase.

  17. Plus the 4 ATP from substrate-level phosphorylation (glycolysis & Krebs Cycle.)gives a bottom line of 38 ATP. • Efficiency فعالية of generating ATP during cell respiration: • Complete oxidation of glucose releases 686 kcal/mole. • Formation of each ATP requires يحتاج at least 7.3 kcal/mole. • Efficiency of respiration is: 7.3 x 38 = 277.4Kcal • % of energy consumed for 38 ATP is: (277.4/686)100 = 40%. • The other 60% is lost as heat. • Cellular respiration is remarkably efficient in energy conversion.

  19. Summary of Respiration - Glycolysis occurs in the cytosol and breaks glucose into two pyruvates - Krebs Cycle takes place within the mitochondrial matrix, and breaks a pyruvate into CO2 and produce some ATP and NADH. - Some steps of Glycolysis and Krebs Cycle are Redox in which dehydrogenase enzyme reduces NAD+ into NADH. - Some of ATP is produced at these tow steps via (substrate-level- phosphorylation). - Electron Transport Chainaccepts e- fromNADH and passes these e-from one protein molecule to another. - At the end of the chain, e- combine with both H+ and O2 to form H2O and release energy. - These energy are used by mitochondria to synthesis 90% of the cellular ATP via ATP-synthase, a process called Oxidative Phosphorylation, in the inner membrane of mitochondria.

  21. Fermentation enables يُمَكِن some cells to produce ATP without the help of oxygen • Oxidation refers to the loss of electrons to any electron acceptor, not just to oxygen. • In glycolysis, glucose is oxidized to two pyruvate molecules with NAD+ as the oxidizing agent, not O2. • Some energy from this oxidation produce 2 ATP (net). • If oxygen is present, additional ATP can be generated when NADH delivers its electrons to the electron transport chain. • Glycolysis generates 2 ATP whether oxygen is absent (anaerobic لاهوائى). • Anaerobic catabolism of sugars can occur by fermentation. • Fermentation can generate ATP from glucose by substrate-level phosphorylation as long as there is a supply of NAD+ (the oxidizing agent) to accept electrons. • If the NAD+ pool is exhausted إسـتـُنفـِذ, glycolysis shuts down. • Under aerobic هوائى conditions, NADH transfers its electrons to the electron transfer chain, recycling NAD+. • Under anaerobic conditions, various fermentation pathways generate ATP by glycolysis and recycle NAD+ by transferring electrons from NADH to pyruvate.

  22. Alcohol fermentation: the pyruvate is converted to ethanol in two steps. • First, pyruvate is converted to acetaldehyde by the removal of CO2. • Second, acetaldehyde is reduced by NADH to ethanol. • Alcohol fermentation by yeast is used in winemaking. • Lactic acid fermentation: the pyruvate is reduced directly by NADH to form lactate (ionized form of lactic acid). • Lactic acid fermentation by some fungi and bacteria is used to make cheese and yogurt. • Muscle cells switch from aerobic respiration to lactic acid fermentation to generate ATP when O2 is scarce نادر. • The waste product, lactate, may cause muscle fatigue, but ultimately it is converted back to pyruvate in the liver. Fig. 9.17a & b, Page 171

  23. Fermentation and cellular respiration are anaerobic and aerobic alternatives, respectively, for producing ATP from sugars. • Both use glycolysis to oxidize sugars to pyruvate with a net production of 2 ATP by substrate-level phosphorylation. • Both use NAD+ as an electron acceptor. • In fermentation, the electrons of NADH are passed to an organic molecule, regenerating NAD+. • In respiration, the electrons of NADH are ultimately passed to O2, generating ATP by oxidative phosphorylation. • In addition, even more ATP is generated from the oxidation of pyruvate in the Krebs cycle. • Without oxygen, the energy still stored in pyruvate is unavailable to the cell. • Under aerobic respiration, a molecule of glucose yields 38 ATP, but the same molecule of glucose yields only 2 ATP under anaerobic respiration.

  24. Proteins and fats, can also enter the respiratory pathways, including glycolysis and the Krebs cycle, like carbohydrates. Fig. 9.18, Page 171 • Some organisms (facultative anaerobes اللاهوائية اختياريا), including yeast and many bacteria, can survive using either fermentation or respiration. • At a cellular level, human muscle cells can behave as facultative anaerobes, but nerve cells cannot. Fig. 9.19, Page 172

  25. The other two major fuels, proteins and fats, can also enter the respiratory pathways, including glycolysis and the Krebs cycle, used by carbohydrates. Carbohydrates, fats, and proteins can all be catabolized through the same pathways. Fig. 9.19, 172
