Chapter 9 Cellular Respiration: Harvesting Chemical Energy
Figure 9.1 • Overview: Life Is Work • Living cells • Require energy from outside sources to perform their many tasks • Obtain energy for cells by eating food
Light energy ECOSYSTEM Photosynthesisin chloroplasts Organicmolecules CO2 + H2O + O2 Cellular respirationin mitochondria ATP powers most cellular work Heatenergy Figure 9.2 • Energy • Flows into an ecosystem as sunlight and leaves as heat
Catabolic Pathways and Production of ATP • The breakdown of organic molecules (catabolism) is exergonic • Fermentation • Is a partial degradation of sugars that occurs without oxygen • Cellular respiration • Is the most prevalent and efficient catabolic pathway • Consumes oxygen and organic molecules such as glucose • Yields ATP
To keep working cells must regenerate ATP • How? • Catabolic pathways yield energy due to the transfer of electrons.
The Principle of Redox • Redox reactions • Transfer electrons from one reactant to another by oxidation and reduction
In oxidation • A substance loses electrons, or is oxidized • In reduction • A substance gains electrons, or is reduced • Reducing Agent • The substance that donates electrons • Oxidizing Agent • The substance that accepts electrons
becomes oxidized(loses electron) Na + Cl Na+ + Cl– becomes reduced(gains electron) • Na is oxidized and the reducing agent (electron donor) • Cl is reduced and is the oxidizing agent

Stepwise Energy Harvest via NAD+ and the Electron Transport Chain • Why are organic compounds excellent sources of energy? • C-H bonds are a source of “hill top” electrons, whose energy may be released as these electrons “fall” down an energy gradient when they are transferred to oxygen

The electron transport chain • Passes electrons in a series of steps instead of in one explosive reaction • Uses the energy from the electron transfer to form ATP

The Stages of Cellular Respiration: A Preview • Respiration is a cumulative function of three metabolic stages • Glycolysis • The citric acid cycle • Oxidative phosphorylation
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

At certain steps along the electron transport chain • Electron transfer causes protein complexes to pump H+ from the mitochondrial matrix to the intermembrane space • Therefore, it is the electron carriers (cytochromes) that set up the H+ electrochemical gradient.
The resulting H+ gradient • Stores energy • Drives chemiosmosis in ATP synthase • Is referred to as a proton-motive force
Chemiosmosis • Is an energy-coupling mechanism that uses energy in the form of a H+ gradient across a membrane to drive cellular work

About 40% of the energy in a glucose molecule • Is transferred to ATP during cellular respiration, making approximately 38 ATP
Cellular respiration • Relies on oxygen to produce ATP • In the absence of oxygen • Cells can still produce ATP through fermentation
Glycolysis • Can produce ATP with or without oxygen, in aerobic or anaerobic conditions • Couples with fermentation to produce ATP
Types of Fermentation • Fermentation consists of • Glycolysis plus reactions that regenerate NAD+, which can be reused by glyocolysis • 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

Fermentation and Cellular Respiration Compared • Both fermentation and cellular respiration • Use glycolysis to oxidize glucose and other organic fuels to pyruvate • Fermentation and cellular respiration • Differ in their final electron acceptor • Cellular respiration • Produces more ATP
The Evolutionary Significance of Glycolysis • Glycolysis • Occurs in nearly all organisms • Probably evolved in ancient prokaryotes before there was oxygen in the atmosphere
