Essential question:
How do cells use stored chemical energy in organic molecules and to generate ATP?
Title: Oct 15 3:28 PM (2 of 53)
Title: Oct 199:29 AM (3 of 53)
Where do organic compounds store their energy?
in their arrangement of atoms (potential energy)
by using enzymes, breakdown molecules to do work and produce heat (catabolic pathways)
two methods:fermentationpartial degrading of sugars without using oxygencellular respirationdegrading of sugars with the use of oxygen

Cellular respiration Overall Reactionorganic + oxygen CO2 + water + energycompounds
organic compounds that can be used are carbs, proteins, and fats, use glucose as example
C H O + O 6CO + 6H O + energy (ATP + heat)

hydrogen is transferred from glucose to oxygen; by oxidizing glucose, respiration gives off stored energy from glucose to make ATP
enzymes lower the activation energy needed to make this happen
Title: Oct 15 3:52 PM (7 of 53)
In cellular respiration , hydrogen atoms are not transferred directly to oxygen are passed to coenzyme called NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide)
is an electron acceptor, an oxidizing agent
Title: Oct 15 6:10 PM (8 of 53)
dehydrogenases remove a pair of hydrogen atoms (2 e, 2p+) from sugar (oxidizing it)
dehydrogenase gives 2 e and 1 p+ to NAD+, the other p+ is released into surrounding solutionbecomes NADH
Title: Oct 199:36 AM (9 of 53)
To finally get electrons to oxygen, need an electron transport chain (proteins imbedded in inner membrane of mitochondrion)
electrons (from food) are shuttled by NADH to the top of the ETC (high energy end)
At the bottom (lower energy end) oxygen captures the electrons with hydrogen protons to form water
Oxygen is the final electron acceptor

Overview of Cellular respiration
Title: Oct 15 6:46 PM (12 of 53)
Stages of Cellular respiration:
Glycolysis
Citric Acid cycle (Kreb's cycle)
Oxidative phosphorylation: Electron transport chain and chemiosmosis
Title: Oct 15 6:47 PM (13 of 53)
Glycolysis= "splitting of sugar"
catabolic pathwayoccurs in cytosolglucose (6 C sugar) is split into 2 three C sugars which are then oxidized and rearranged to form 2 molecules of pyruvateconsists of 10 steps (each requires an enzyme)
some steps use energy (ATP)some steps form ATP
net yield = 2 ATP + 2 NADH + 2 pyruvate
Title: Oct 15 6:49 PM (14 of 53)
no CO2 is released in glycolysis
glycolysis occurs with (aerobic) or without (anaerobic) presence of oxygen
Title: Oct 15 6:55 PM (16 of 53)
Citric Acid Cycle
catabolic pathwaytakes place in mitochondrion matrixstarts by having pyruvate transported inside mitochondrion
Title: Oct 15 6:59 PM (19 of 53)
pyruvate's carboxyl gp. is removed as CO2 and released by cell
Step 1
Title: Oct 15 7:04 PM (20 of 53)
Step 2remaining 2 C fragment is oxidized to form acetate, an enzyme transfers e to NAD+ to become NADH
Title: Oct 199:47 AM (21 of 53)
Step 3coenzyme A (derived from a B vitamin) is attached to acetate (makes this gp. reactive) Acetyl CoA; acetyl gp. then goes into citric acid cycle for more oxidation
Title: Oct 199:47 AM (22 of 53)
Citric acid cycle = tricarboxylic acid cycle = Kreb's Cycle
pathway figured out by Hans Krebs in 1930s

Title: Oct 15 7:11 PM (23 of 53)
overview: (per pyruvate actually 2 going in )pyruvate is broken down into: 3 CO2 1 ATP formed via substrate level
phosphorylation 4 NAD+ are reduced to 4 NADH1 FAD is reduced to FADH
4 NADH and 1 FADH go to ETC from here

Title: Oct 15 7:12 PM (24 of 53)
has 8 steps, each catalyzed by an enzymestep 1 acetyl gp is added to oxaloacetate to make citrate (condensation reaction)
steps 27 citrate is decomposed and converted back to oxaloacetate

What happens to the electrons being carried by NADH and FADH ?2Oxidative phosphorylation The production of ATP generated by redox reactions in the Electron Transport Chain
Title: Oct 15 7:28 PM (28 of 53)
Electron Transport Chain
in inner membrane of mitochondrion has increased surface area (cristae) for lots of ETCs
mostly made of proteins multiprotein complexes #IIVprosthetic gps. are attached to these proteins nonprotein needed for catalysis by enzymes
during chainelectron carriers alternate between reduced and oxidized states as they gain and lose electrons
Title: Oct 15 7:33 PM (29 of 53)
In ETC:NADH
passes electronsflavoprotein
ironsulfur protein
ubiquinone (not a protein)
series of cytochromes
cytochrome a3
oxygen (final electron acceptor)
Title: Oct 15 7:38 PM (31 of 53)
cytochromes have an iron group that accepts and donates electrons, each has a different heme grp.
oxygen then picks up two hydrogens from solution to form water
FADH adds electrons to the ETC at complex II (a lower energy level than NADH) makes 1/3 less energy for ATP synthesis than NADH
2
*ETC makes no ATP its purpose is to ease the fall of electrons to release energy in small amounts at a time or otherwise would be explosive
Title: Oct 15 7:47 PM (32 of 53)
Chemiosmosis
=an energy coupling mechanism that uses stored energy in the form of a hydrogen ion gradient across a membrane to drive cellular work
in inner mitochondrion membrane
ATP synthase is a enzyme used to make ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate
ATP synthase uses a concentration gradient of hydrogen ions to power ATP synthesis
Title: Oct 15 7:53 PM (33 of 53)
ATP synthase
four parts made of polypeptidesa. rotor within membrane spins when hydrogen ions flow
past it down gradient
b. stator anchored in membrane, holds knob stationary
c. rod extends into knob and spins, causing a conformational change and activating catalytic sites in the knob
d. knob stationary, has three catalytic sites that join inorganic phosphate to ADP to make ATP
Title: Oct 15 7:58 PM (35 of 53)
How does the hydrogen ion gradient get produced?
from electron transport chaincertain steps in ETC cause H+ to be taken up
and released into the surrounding solutionH+ is accepted from mitochondrial matrix
and deposited in intermembrane space
H+ gradient = protonmotive force
Title: Oct 15 8:03 PM (37 of 53)
ATP yield per molecule of glucose at each stage in cellular respiration
Title: Oct 15 8:16 PM (38 of 53)
each NADH generates 3 ATPeach FADH generates 2 ATP2
net result = 36 or 38 ATP per molecule of glucose (depends on variables)
40% of energy in glucose is transferred to ATP, the rest is lost as heat
Title: Oct 15 8:18 PM (39 of 53)
How can a cell make ATP if there is no oxygen present?
Fermentation
Title: Oct 15 10:02 PM (40 of 53)
Fermentation generates ATP by substrate level phosphorylation as long as there is enough NAD+ (get enough because in anaerobic conditions,electrons are transferred from NADH to pyruvate)
pyruvate is electron acceptor for oxidizing NADH back to NAD+ and can then be reused in glycolysis
Title: Oct 15 10:08 PM (41 of 53)
two types of fermentation:
1.alcohol fermentation (yeast & bacteria)
2. lactic acid fermentation (yeast/ fungi used in dairy industry, and human muscle cells)
Title: Oct 15 10:18 PM (42 of 53)
Alcohol fermentationend product = ethanolmakes 2 ATP, 2 carbon dioxide
Title: Oct 15 10:13 PM (43 of 53)
Lactic Acid Fermentationend product is lactate (ion form of lactic acid)2 ATP made
Title: Oct 15 10:20 PM (44 of 53)
So: Both fermentation and cellular respiration: use glycolysis to oxidize glucose
produce 2 ATP by substrate level phosphorylationNAD+ is oxidizing agent that accepts electrons from food in glycolysis
Title: Oct 15 10:22 PM (45 of 53)
Differences:fermentation final electron acceptor = pyruvate or acetaldehyderespiration final electron acceptor = oxygenrespiration has citric acid cyclerespiration can make more ATP per sugar molecule
facultative anaerobes are yeasts or bacteria that can make enough ATP to survive using either fermentation or respiration
our muscle cells are like facultative anaerobes
Title: Oct 15 10:27 PM (46 of 53)
glycolysis is important in evolution
before oxygen was present in the atmosphere organisms could use glycolysis to make ATP
is the most widespread metabolic pathway because happens in cytosol is also evidence it
evolved early
Title: Oct 15 10:32 PM (47 of 53)
Types of molecules that can be used for glycolysis:
1. carbohydrates: if dissaccharides, polysaccharides, first need to be hydrolyzed to glucose and other monosaccharides
2. proteins: must be hydrolyzed to amino acids, then converted by enzymes to intermediates in glycolysis and citric acid cycle (amino gps must be removed first=deamination)
3. Fats:digested to glycerol and fatty acids, glycerol is converted to glyceraldehyde 3phosphate (intermediate in glycolysis)fatty acids undergo beta oxidation to get 2 C fragments that can enter the citric acid cycle as acetyl CoA
Title: Oct 15 10:36 PM (48 of 53)
Anabolic pathways that are used by organisms are related to glycolysis and citric acid cycle
some intermediates of glycolysis and citric acid cycle can be used to synthesize other compoundscan make amino acids using compounds from citric acid cycleglucose made from pyruvatefatty acids made from acetyl CoA
Title: Oct 15 10:45 PM (50 of 53)
feedback inhibition regulates cellular respiration
end product inhibits an enzyme that catalyzes part of the pathway
ex. phosphofructokinase (allosteric enzyme with receptor sites for specific inhibitors and activators)
if ATP high gets inhibited, slows glycolysisif AMP high gets stimulatedif citrate is high in mitochondria, some gets in cytosol and inhibits enzymeif citrate is low, glycolysis increases
