Catabolic Pathways • Recall this is breaking down of complex molecules • 2 types of pathways: • Fermentation – partial pathway requires no oxygen • Cellular respiration – oxygen is consumes
Cellular Respiration • Cellular respiration is the process of oxidizing food molecules, like glucose, to carbon dioxide and water. • The energy released is trapped in the form of ATP for use by all the energy-consuming activities of the cell.
Remembering ATP • hydrolysis of the terminal phosphate of ATP yields between 11 and 13 kcal/mole of usable energy, depending on the intracellular conditions.
NAD+ and FAD • 1. Each metabolic reaction in cellular respiration is catalyzed by its own enzyme. 2. As a metabolite is oxidized, NAD+ accepts two electrons and a hydrogen ion (H+); results in NADH + H+. 3. Electrons received by NAD+ and FAD are high-energy electrons and are usually carried to the electron transport system.
Respiration has four distinct stages: • 1. Glycolysis • 2. Krebs cycle • 3. Electron transport chain • 4. Oxidative phosphorylation
Glycolysis • Glycolysis is the anaerobiccatabolism of glucose. • It occurs in virtually all cells. • In eukaryotes, it occurs in the cytosol. • C6H12O6 + 2NAD+ -> 2C3H4O3 + 2NADH + 2H+
Glycolysis is enzyme driven • Shockwave – observe the step by step process as you look at your book as well as the animation. http://instruct1.cit.cornell.edu/courses/biomi290/ASM/glycolysis.dcr • Glycolysis • glycolysis
Summary of yield • The net yield from each glucose molecule is 2 NADH, 2ATP and 2 molecules of pyruvate • An initial investment of 2 ATP yields 4 ATP and 2 NADH or a net gain of 2 ATP and 2 NADH
If molecular oxygen is present the pyruvate enters the mitochondria
Mitochondria • Mitochondria are membrane-enclosed organelles distributed through the cytosol of most eukaryotic cells. • Their main function is the conversion of the potential energy of food molecules into ATP.
Mitochondria have: • an outer membrane that encloses the entire structure • an inner membrane that encloses a fluid-filled matrix • between the two is the intermembrane space • the inner membrane is elaborately folded with shelflike cristae projecting into the matrix. • a small number (some 5–10) circular molecules of DNA
Prior to entering the Krebs Cycle, pyruvate must be converted into acetyl CoA . • This is achieved by removing a CO2 molecule from pyruvate and then removing an electron to reduce an NAD+ into NADH. • An enzyme called coenzyme A is combined with the remaining acetyl to make acetyl CoA which is then fed into the Krebs Cycle. The steps in the Krebs Cycle are summarized below:
We are now back at the beginning of the Krebs Cycle. Because glycolysis produces two pyruvate molecules from one glucose, each glucose is processes through the kreb cycle twice. • For each molecule of glucose, six NADH2+, two FADH2, and two ATP.
To review • Krebstca
Points to remember • Each NADH made in the mitochondria yields 3 ATP • NADH made in outside mitochondria yields 2 ATP • FADH yields 2 ATP • You will need this information as we discuss the electron transport chain.
Electron transport chain overview • Krebstca (if can’t open go to bio home page at the bottom of page )
Harvesting the nrg • So far we have from glycolysis and the Kreb’s cycle: (per molecule of glucose) ATP by substrate phosphorylation NADH and FADH2 – (which account for most of the nrg stored from the metabolism of glucose )
Electron Transport Chain • A collection of molecules found in the inner mitochondrial membrane
Key points • Protons are translocated across the membrane, from the matrix to the intermembrane space • Electrons are transported along the membrane, through a series of protein carriers • Oxygen is the terminal electron acceptor, combining with electrons and H+ ions to produce water • As NADH delivers more H+ and electrons into the ETS, the proton gradient increases, with H+ building up outside the inner mitochondrial membrane, and OH- inside the membrane.

Key Points to remember • 1. NADH and FADH2 donate electrons to the series of electron carriers in the ETC • The final electron acceptor is Oxygen creating water as a by product of cell resp.
Points cont. • Electron transport is coupled to ATP by chemiosmosis. • Animation of Chemiosmosis during Aerobic Respiration
Points cont. • At certain steps along the chain, electron transfer causes electron carrying protein complexes to move Hydrogen ions from the matrix to the intermembrane space storing energy as a proton-motive force (hydrogen gradient) • Animation of Chemiosmosis Proton Pumping
Points continued • As hydrogen diffuses back into the matrix through ATP synthase, its exergonic passage drives the endergonic phosphorylation of ADP • Electron transport system: (follow NADH and FADH2 as well as counting number of ATP made.)
Related Metabolic Pathways • Without oxygen electronegetive oxygen to pull the electrons down the transport chain, oxidative phosphorylation ceases. • Fermentation provides another avenue for the synthesis of ATP.
Fermentation • 1. The oxidizing agent of glycolysis is NAD+ , not oxygen. • But glycolysis generates 2 ATP by oxidative phosphorylation. • Fermentation regenerates ATP by transferring electrons are transferred to pyruvate.
Process of alcohol fermentation • Fermentation consists of glycolysis plus reduction of pyruvate to either lactate or alcohol and CO2. • NADH passes its electrons to pyruvate instead of to an electron transport system; • NAD+ is then free to return and pick up more electrons during earlier reactions of glycolysis.
Alcohol fermentation • pyruvate is first decarboxylated to yield a 2-carbon substance acetaldehyde. Acetaldehyde is then reduced as hydrogens are transferred from NADH to acetaldehyde to produce ethyl alcohol.
lactic acid fermentation • pyruvate is used as the direct acceptor of the hydrogens removed from NADH. The end product is a molecule of lactic acid. Lactic acid [or lactate] is a common by-product of anaerobic respiration in muscle cells.
Advantage of Fermentation • provides quick burst of ATP energy for muscular activity.
Disadvantage of Ferm. • lactate is toxic to cells. lactate changes pH and causes muscles to fatigue. lactate is sent to liver, converted into pyruvate; then respired or converted into glucose. • Two ATP produced per glucose molecule during fermentation
