  1. Metabolic Pathways and Energy Production Metabolism and ATP Energy Important Coenzymes Glycolysis

  2. Metabolism All the chemical reactions that occur in the cells of our bodies. Catabolic reactions • Break down large molecules • Provide energy for ATP Anabolic reactions • Use small molecules to build large ones • Require energy catabolic anabolic

  3. Cell Structure Typical animal cell • Nucleus • Chromosomes in the nucleus contain genetic material • Cytoplasm is material between nucleus and cell membrane • Mitochondria are where energy-producing reactions occur

  4. ATP • Energy is released as food is oxidized • Used to form ATP from ADP and Pi ADP + Pi + Energy ATP • In cells, energy is provided by the hydrolysis of ATP ATP ADP + Pi + Energy

  5. Structure of ATP

  6. Digestion of Foods Digestion is the first step of catabolism • Carbohydratesglucose, fructose, galactose • Proteins amino acids • Lipids glycerol fatty acids

  7. Coenzymes • Substances that connect metabolic pathways • In reduction, coenzymes accept H atoms • In oxidation, coenzymes remove H atoms FAD (flavin adenine dinucleotide) FAD+ -CH2-CH2- FADH2 + -CH=CH- NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) NAD++ -CH-OH NADH + H+ + -C=O

  8. Glycolysis: Oxidation of Glucose 2ATP 2 NAD+ 2ADP 2NADH + 2H+ 4 ADP 4 ATP Glucose two Glyceraldehyde-3-PO4 two Pyruvate

  9. Glycolysis: Oxidation of Glucose

  10. Glycolysis: Oxidation of Glucose 2 NAD+ 2 NADH + 2 H+

  11. Glycolysis: Oxidation of Glucose Glycolysis generates 2 ATP molecules and 2 NADH + 2 H+ Two ATP used in adding phosphate groups to glucose and fructose-6-phosphate (- 2 ATP) Four ATP generated in direct transfer to ADP by two 3-C molecules (+ 4 ATP) Glucose + 2 ADP + 2 Pi + 2 NAD+ 2pyruvate + 2 ATP + 2 NADH + 2 H+

  12. Pathways for Pyruvate Aerobic conditions O || CH3–C –COO- + NAD+ + CoA pyruvate O || CH3–C –CoA + CO2 + NADH + H+ acetyl CoA

  13. Pathways for Pyruvate Anaerobic conditions (No O2 available) Reduce to lactate to replenish NAD+ for glycolysis O OH || | CH3–C –COO- + NADH + H+ CH3–CH –COO- + NAD+ pyruvate lactate enzyme: lactate dehydrogenase

  14. Lactate in Muscles • Strenuous exercise leads to anaerobic conditions • Oxygen in muscles is depleted • Lactate builds up as glycolysis continues • Muscles tire and become painful • Breathing rate increases • Rest repays oxygen debt • Lactate re-forms pyruvate in liver
