How do living organisms fuel their actions? Cellular respiration: the big picture

Cellular Respiration • Requires (1) fuel and (2) oxygen.
In Humans… • our cells can extract some of the energy stored in the bonds of the food molecules • Energy • Bonds • Molecules
Glycolysis is the universal energy-releasing pathway • splitting (lysis) of sugar (glyco) • all organisms on the planet • single-celled organisms - provide all of the energy they need
Glycolysis • Three of the ten steps yield energy • High-energy electrons are transferred to NADH • Net result: • pyruvate • ATP molecules • NADH molecules
Glycolysis • Glucose (6C) is broken down into 2 PGAL (Phosphoglyceraldehyde – 3 Carbon molecules) • Cost: 2 ATP
Glycolysis • 2 PGAL (3C) are converted to 2 pyruvates • Result: 4 ATP, 2 NADH • net ATP production = 2 ATP
How Glycolysis Works • Animation • Animation
The Fate of Pyruvate • Yeast: pyruvic acid is decarboxylated and reduced by NADH to form a molecule of carbon dioxide and one of ethanol • accounts for the bubbles and alcohol in, for examples, beer and champagne (alcoholic fermentation) • process is energetically wasteful because so much of the free energy of glucose (~95%) remains in the alcohol (a good fuel!) • Red blood cells and active muscles: pyruvic acid is reduced by NADH forming a molecule of lactic acid (lactic acid fermentation) • process is energetically wasteful because so much free energy remains in the lactic acid molecule • Mitochondria: pyruvic acid is oxidized completely to form CO2 & H2O (cellular respiration) • ~ 40% of energy in original glucose molecule is trapped in molecules of ATP
Glycolysis is very inefficient Pyruvate can be further metabolized to yield more energy
The Conversion of Pyruvate to Acetyl Co-A for Entry Into the Krebs Cycle • glycolysis (cytoplasm), pyruvic acid interior of mitochondrion
The Conversion of Pyruvate to Acetyl Co-A for Entry Into the Kreb's Cycle • 2 NADH are generated • 2 CO2 are released
The Kreb’s Cycle extracts energy from sugar • 6 NADH • 2 FADH2 • 2 ATP • 4 CO2 (to atmosphere)
The Kreb’s Cycle extracts energy from sugar • Animation
the electron transport chain • 2 key features of mitochondria
the electron transport chain • 2 mitochondrial spaces higher concentrations of molecules in one area or the other
Follow the Electrons, as We Did in Photosynthesis #2) This proton concentration gradient represents a significant source of potential energy!
Review of Cellular Respiration • Review Animation
Energy is obtained from a molecule of glucose in a stepwise fashion.
Alternative Pathways to Energy • Rapid, strenuous exertion • O2 deficiency
Alternative Pathways to Energy • NAD+ /FAD+ halted • back-up method for breaking down sugar • lactic acid
