2. Bioenergetics & Conservation of Energy §  Bioenergetics refers to flow of energy within a living

system.

§  Aerobic chemical reactions do & anaerobic chemical reactions do not require oxygen.

§  Energy is transferred from the sun to plants by photosynthesis using chlorophyll, H2O & CO2 to produce carbohydrates (CHO) including glucose. Overall equation for photosynthesis:

§  Cellular respiration in animals allows recovery of food chemical energy stored in plants

§  Herbivores, carnivores and omnivores transfer energy transfer from different food sources

Energy and Laws of Thermodynamics §  First law – Energy is neither created nor destroyed, but instead,

transforms from one state to another without being used up.

§  There are six forms of interchangeable energy states: •  Chemical, Light, Electric, Mechanical, Heat, Nuclear

4

2. Bioenergetics & Conservation of Energy

Biologic Work

§  Takes one of three forms:

•  Mechanical work of muscle contraction

•  Chemical work for synthesizing molecules

•  Transport work that concentrates diverse substances in body fluids

Recall Potential Energy and Kinetic Energy §  Potential energy (PE) refers

to energy associated with a substance’s structure or position.

§  Kinetic Energy (KE) refers to energy of motion.

§  PE and KE constitute the total energy of any system.

§  Releasing PE transforms it into KE of motion.

2. Bioenergetics & Conservation of Energy

Energy transformation in the human body depend on:

•  (i) Oxidation-reduction (redox) reactions & (ii) Chemical reactions that conserve & liberate energy in Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP)

Page 6: BPK 312 Lecture 3 - SFU.ca - Simon Fraser Universitymwhite1/BPK 312 Lecture 3.pdfBPK 312 Nutrition for Fitness & Sport Lecture 3 Nutrient Roles in Bioenergetics 1. Learning Objectives

3. Redox Reactions §  Oxidation–reduction reactions couple: •  Oxidation = a substance loses H+, electrons or oxygen giving a ↑valence •  Reduction = a substance gains electrons giving a ↓valence §  Redox reactions power the body’s energy transfer processes.

4. Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) & Phosphocreatine (PCr) •  ATP is the body’s

primary energy carrier molecule that captures free energy in high energy phosphate bonds

•  Splits rapidly without O2

•  Only 80-100 g of ATP stored in body ∴ there is a continual resynthesis of ATP

4. Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) & Phosphocreatine (PCr) §  Potential energy (PE) is extracted

from macronutrients in food & conserved within phosphate bonds within ATP.

§  Chemical PE in ATP powers all biologic work.

• Adenosine TriPhosphatase (ATPase) for ATP degradation & energy release

•  for rapid anaerobic energy supply

Phosphocreatine (PCr): The Energy Reservoir

Fig 4-9: ATP & PCr sources of anaerobic phosphate bond energy. Energy released from splitting PCr helps resynthesize ATP from ADP & Pi; Adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase)

§ In addition to ATP, PCr is another high-energy phosphate compound.

§ PCr quickly releases large amounts of energy when bonds between creatine & phosphate are broken.

§ Cells store 4–6 x more PCr than ATP

§ Is a reservoir of high-energy phosphate bonds, for short-term 8-10 s explosive, all out muscular exercise

§ Phosphorylation gives energy transfer in phosphate bonds

5. Cellular Oxidation, Electron Transport Chain (ETC) & Oxidative Phosphorylation

§  Most energy for ATP phosphorylation is from oxidation of hydrogen (H) from macronutrients, CHO, lipids & protein

§  Constitutes the mechanism for aerobic energy metabolism

§  Involves the transfer of hydrogen atoms & electrons •  Loss of hydrogen= oxidation & gain of hydrogen=reduction

•  Highly specific dehydrogenase co-enzymes are reduced with H from macronutrients

•  Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD+) from niacin (Vit B3)

•  Flavin Adenine Dinucleotide (FAD) from riboflavin (Vit B2)

•  NADH & FADH2 are 2 high energy molecules carrying H & their electrons

§  Mitochondria contain cytochrome carrier molecules on their inner membrane that remove electrons from H & pass them to O2

§  Electron transport by cytochromes is the ‘respiratory chain’

§  Refers to energy transfer through phosphate bonds

§  Oxidative phosphorylation synthesizes ATP by transferring H & electrons from NADH and FADH2 to oxygen.

Electron Transport Chain (ETC) & Oxidative Phosphorylation

•  Theoretical value for aerobic ATP production from oxidation of H & subsequent phosphorylation is: NADH + H+ + 3 ADP + 3 Pi + ½ O2 → NAD+ + H2O + 3 ATP

•  ATP needs to be transported out of the mitochondria at the cost of some ATP

•  On average the net yield is 2.5 ATP synthesized per NADH, when FADH2 donates H this gives on average a net yield of 1.5 ATP synthesized from each hydrogen pair

Efficiency of Electron Transport Chain (ETC) & Oxidative Phosphorylation

•  Formation of each mole of ATP conserves ~ 7 kcal of energy

•  Since 2.5 moles ATP is produced per mole of NADH then 2.5 x 7 kcal = ~18 kcal is conserved as chemical energy

•  The relative efficiency is ~34% for transferring chemical energy by ETC-oxidative phosphorylation since 1 mole of NADH liberates 52 kcal, i.e. ~18 kcal/52 kcal x 100 = ~34%.

•  Remaining 66% of this energy is dissipated as heat

Role of Oxygen in Energy Metabolism •  3 conditions for ATP re-synthesis using energy from macronutrients

–  Cond. 1: Availability of reduced NADH & FADH2 in tissues

–  Cond. 2: Presence of oxidizing agent O2 in the tissues

–  Cond. 3: Sufficient concentration of the enzymes & mitochondria in the tissues to ensure energy transfer reactions proceed at their appropriate rate

•  Oxygen is the final electron acceptor in the respiratory chain & combines with hydrogen to form water.

•  Strenuous Exercise

–  In Cond. 2 if there is inadequate O2 in the tissues or in Cond 3 if the rate of delivery of O2 is inadequate these give an imbalance between H release & acceptance by O2, i.e. its reduction.

–  Electron flow down ETC backs up, H accumulates & lactate forms as give in Fig 4-15 on a following slide in this lecture. 16

•  Liver produces rich sources of amino acids (aa) & glucose (glycogen) •  Adipocytes give large amounts of free fatty acids (FFA) •  These compounds are released into blood & are carried to skeletal m. •  Most energy transfer takes place in mitochondria within skeletal m. •  Intramuscular energy sources include ATP, PCr, Triacylglycerol (TAG),

Energy Release from Carbohydrates

§  1° function of CHO is to supply energy for cellular work.

§  in a bomb calorimeter the complete breakdown of 1 mol of glucose of 180 g liberates 686 kcal of energy

•  Synthesis of 1 mol ATP needs 7.3 kcal of energy

•  All energy in glucose oxidation could give 94 mol of ATP

•  In muscle phosphate bonds conserve only 34%, i.e. 34% of 686 kcal/mol = 233 kcal/mol of energy in ATP bonds with the remainder dissipated as heat.

•  ∴ 1 mol of glucose breakdown gives 233 kcal/7.3 kcal x mol-1 = 32 mol of ATP

19

C6H12O6 + 6 O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O - 686 kcal/mol

6. Energy Release from Macronutrients Glucose Degradation

Occurs in two stages:

1.  Anaerobic: Glucose breaks down relatively rapidly to 2 molecules of pyruvate in the reactions of glycolysis

2.  Aerobic: Pyruvate degrades further to carbon dioxide and water in the reactions of the citric acid cycle

•  In heavy exercise when energy demand exceeds O2 supply, ETC can’t process all NADH

•  Depends on reaction 6 in glycolysis & for NAD+ availability to oxidize ‘3-phosphoglyceraldehyde’

•  dramatically slows glycolytic rate & ↑ lactic acid production results

•  Lactate is a valuable source of chemical energy in the Cori Cycle

•  nb at physiological pH, lactic acid dissociates to lactate & H+

2.  Lactate enters liver where it is converted to pyruvate & then via gluconeogenesis, there is a resynthesis of glucose.

3.  Blood glucose as well as muscle & liver glycogen can subsequently be maintained.

Breakdown of Glycerol and Fatty Acids §  Glycerol

•  Provides carbon skeletons for glucose synthesis, enters glycolytic pathway as 3-phosphoglyceraldehyde to give ATP by substrate-level phosphorylation

§  Fatty acids

•  Beta (ß)-oxidation for fatty acid oxidation converts a free fatty acid to multiple acetyl-CoA molecules.

•  H+ released during fatty acid catabolism is oxidized through the respiratory chain.

•  Note CAC rate depends on concentration of its intermediates, including oxaloacetate & malate, that are derived from CHO.

•  A low CHO diet can limit fatty acid oxidation, due a slow rate of the citric acid cycle.
