  1. Chapter 9 Cellular Respiration: Harvesting Chemical Energy

  2. Overview: Life Is Work • Living cells • Require transfusions of energy from outside sources to perform their different tasks

  3. Figure 9.1 • The giant panda • Obtains energy for its cells by eating plants

  4. Light energy ECOSYSTEM Photosynthesisin chloroplasts Organicmolecules CO2 + H2O + O2 Cellular respirationin mitochondria ATP powers most cellular work Heatenergy Figure 9.2 • Energy • Flows into ecosystems as sunlight and leaves as heat

  5. Photosynthetic organisms trap a portion of the sunlight energy and transform it into chemical energy (organic molecules) with O2 is released. • Cells use some of the chemical energy in organic molecules to make ATP; the energy source for cellular work. • Energy leaves organisms as it dissipates as heat • The products of respiration (CO2 and H2O) are the raw materials for photosynthesis. • Photosynthesis produces glucose and oxygen, the raw materials for respiration

  6. Catabolic Pathways and Production of ATP • Concept 9.1: Catabolic pathways yield energy by oxidizing organic fuels • Organic compounds store energy in their arrangement of atoms • With the help of enzymes, a cell systematically degrades complex organic molecules that are rich in potential energy to simpler waste products that have less energy

  7. Fermentation a catabolic process • Is a partial degradation of sugars that occurs without oxygen (anaerobic) • Cellular respiration • Is the most prevalent and efficient catabolic pathway • Consumes oxygen and organic molecules such as glucose • Yields ATP

  8. Respiration can be summarized: organic + oxygen → carbon + water + Energy compounds dioxide cellular respiration is most often described as the oxidation of glucose: C6H12O6 + 6 O2 → 6 CO2 + 6H2O + Energy (ATP + heat) The breakdown of glucose is exergonic (free energy change) (ΔG= – 686 kcal per mol) –ΔG → the products of the chemical process store less energy than reactants and the reaction can happen spontaneously (without an input of energy)

  9. To keep working • Cells must regenerate ATP from ADP + Pi • To understand how cellular respiration accomplishes this, let’s examine the fundamental process known as oxidationand reduction

  10. Redox Reactions: Oxidation and Reduction • Why do the catabolic pathways that decompose glucose and other organic fuels yield energy? • The answer is based on the transfer of electrons during the chemical reactions. The relocation of electrons releases energy stored in organic molecules, and this energy is used to synthesize ATP

  11. The Principle of Redox • Redox reactions • Transfer electrons from one reactant to another by oxidation and reduction • Inoxidation • A substance loses electrons, or is oxidized • In reduction • A substance gains electrons, or is reduced

  12. becomes oxidized(loses electron) becomes oxidized Na + Cl Na+ + Cl– becomes reduced(gains electron) Xē + Y X + Yē becomes reduced • Examples of redox reactions We could generalize a redox reaction this way: X is the electron donor, is called the reducing agent, it reduces Y which accepts the donated electron Y is the electron acceptor, it oxidizes X by removing its electron

  13. Products Reactants becomes oxidized + + + Energy 2O2 CO2 2 H2O CH4 becomes reduced H C C O O O O H O H H H H Oxygen(oxidizingagent) Methane(reducingagent) Carbon dioxide Water Figure 9.3 • Some redox reactions • Do not completely exchange electrons • Change the degree of electron sharing in covalent bonds • An electron loses potential energy when it shifts from a less electronegative atom toward more electronegative one → this energy can be put to work

  14. becomes oxidized C6H12O6 + 6O2 6CO2 + 6H2O + Energy becomes reduced Oxidation of Organic Fuel Molecules During Cellular Respiration • Oxidation of methane is the main combustion reaction that occurs at the burner of a gas stove • During cellular respiration • Glucose is oxidized and oxygen is reduced

  15. In general, organic molecules that have an abundance of hydrogen are excellent fuels because their bonds are a source of hilltop electrons whose energy may be released as these electrons fall down an energy gradient when they are transferred to oxygen • By oxidizing glucose, respiration liberatesstored energy from glucose and makes it available for ATP synthesis

  16. Stepwise Energy Harvest via NAD+ and the Electron Transport Chain • Cellular respiration • Oxidizes glucose in a series of steps each is catalyzed by an enzyme • The hydrogen atoms are not transferred to oxygen, but instead are usually passed first to a coenzyme called NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide). • NAD functions as coenzyme in the redox reactions thus is an oxidizing agent. It is found in all cells and helps in e transfer.

Enzymes called dehydrogenases removes a pair of hydrogen atoms (2 electrons and 2 protons) from the substrate (a sugar for example) thereby oxidizing it

  18. NADH, the reduced form of NAD+ • Passes the electrons to the electron transport chain • Each NADH molecule formed during respiration represents stored energy that can be tapped to make ATP when the electrons complete their fall down an energy gradient from NADH to oxygen

  20. The electron transport chain • Passes electrons in a series of steps instead of one explosive reaction • Uses the energy from the electron transfer to form ATP • The transport chain consists of a number of molecules, mostly proteins, built into the inner membrane of a mitochondrion • ET from NADH to O2 is an exergonic reaction with a free energy change of – 53 kcal/mol • Food → NADH → ETC → Oxygen

  22. The Stages of Cellular Respiration: A Preview • Respiration is a cumulative function of three metabolic stages • Glycolysis • The citric acid cycle • Oxidative phosphorylation does not require O2 require O2

  23. Glycolysis • Breaks down glucose into two molecules of pyruvate • The citric acid cycle • Completes the breakdown of glucose • Oxidative phosphorylation • Is driven by the electron transport chain • Generates ATP

  25. An overview of cellular respiration • During glycolysis each glucose molecule is broken down into 2 pyruvate molecules • Pyruvate inters into mitochondria where it will be oxidized by the citric acid cycle to CO2. • NADH and FADH2 transfer electrons from glucose to ETCs in the inner mitochondria membrane • During oxidative phosphorylation, ETCs convert chemical energy to a form of energy used for ATP synthesis in a process called chemiosmosis.

  26. Enzyme Enzyme ADP P Substrate + ATP Product Figure 9.7 • Both glycolysis and the citric acid cycle • Can generate ATP by substrate-level phosphorylation • Occurs when an enzyme transfers a phosphate group from a substrate molecule to ADP rather than adding an inorganic phosphate to ADP as in oxidative phosphorylation

  27. Concept 9.2: Glycolysis harvests energy by oxidizing glucose to pyruvate • Glycolysis (can occur in the presence or absence of O2) • Means “splitting of sugar” a 6-C sugar (glucose) to 3-C sugar (pyruvate) • Breaks down glucose into pyruvate • Occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell

  31. Concept 9.3: The citric acid cycle completes the energy-yielding oxidation of organic molecules • The citric acid cycle • Takes place in the matrix of the mitochondrion • completes glucose oxidation by breaking down pyruvate derivitatives into carbon dioxide.

  35. Concept 9.4: • During oxidative phosphorylation, chemiosmosis couples electron transport to ATP synthesis • NADH and FADH2 • Donate electrons to the electron transport chain, which powers ATP synthesis via oxidative phosphorylation

  36. The Pathway of Electron Transport • Electrons from NADH and FADH2 lose energy in several steps • Couples this exergonic slide of electrons to ATP synthesis or oxidative phosphorylation • The electron transport chain is made of electron carrier molecules embedded in the inner membrane of mitochondria.

  37. Each carrier in the chain has a higher electronegativity than the carrier before it, so electrons are pulled downhill towards oxygen • Most carriers are protein molecules except for ubiquinone (Q) • At the end of the chain, electrons are passed to oxygen, forming water

  40. At certain steps along the electron transport chain • Electron transfer causes protein complexes to pump H+ from the mitochondrial matrix to the intermembrane space

  41. Chemiosmosis • Is an energy-coupling mechanism that uses energy in the form of a H+ gradient across a membrane to drive cellular work • The resulting H+ gradient • Stores energy • Drives chemiosmosis in ATP synthase • Is referred to as a proton-motive force

  45. About 40% of the energy in a glucose molecule • Is transferred to ATP during cellular respiration, making approximately 38 ATP 1 ATP → - 7.3 kcal/mol 38 ATP X 7.3 / 686 = 40%

  46. Concept 9.5: Fermentation enables some cells to produce ATP without the use of oxygen • Cellular respiration • Relies on oxygen to produce ATP • In the absence of oxygen • Cells can still produce ATP through fermentation

  47. Glycolysis • Can produce ATP with or without oxygen, in aerobic or anaerobic conditions • Couples with fermentation to produce ATP

  48. Types of Fermentation • Fermentation consists of • Glycolysis plus reactions that regenerate NAD+, which can be reused by glycolysis • In alcohol fermentation • Pyruvate is converted to ethanol in two steps, one of which releases CO2 • During lactic acid fermentation • Pyruvate is reduced directly to NADH to form lactate as a waste product
