Presentation Transcript

  1. What you should know from today’s lecture • The importance of glycolysis, fermentation, and respiration (Krebs cycle) in biology • The site of glycolysis, fermentation, and respiration in prokaryotes and eukaryotes • Overall chemical reactions of glycolysis, fermentation, and respiration • Mitochondrion structure • Poisons affecting respiration

  2. The importance of glucose metabolism • The most primitive and universal method for capturing and converting chemical energy • Performed by all organisms, auto- and heterotrophs • Fermentation pathways are ancient but inefficient • Aerobic respiration is efficient but requires oxygen (from photosynthesis)

  3. Energy release from glucose Glucose (6 C) Glycolysis 2 ATP Lactate fermentation Alcoholic fermentation 2 Pyruvate (3 C) Lactate (3 C) Ethanol (2 C) + CO2 6O2 Aerobic respiration 34-36 ATP 6 CO2 + 6 H2O

  4. Glycolysis: overview • All cells can perform glycolysis -- universal source of energy (ATP) and carbon skeleton • Glycolysis takes place in the cytoplasm What is NAD+?

  6. Glycolysis II Fig. 8.4c, p. 135

  7. Aerobic respiration: overview • Aerobic respiration takes place in the cytoplasm and membrane of prokaryotes, and in the mitochondria of eukaryotes
