Overview: Life Is Work
Living cells require transfusions of energy from outside sources to perform their many tasks

Cellular respiration
has three key pathways
1. glycolysis
2. the citric acid cycle (Kreb cycle)
3. oxidative phosphorylation
![Page 6: Chapter 9 Cellular Respiration: Harvesting Chemical Energy Updated October 2008.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649d805503460f94a63de5/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Concept 9.1: Catabolic pathways yield energy by oxidizing organic fuels
Catabolic metabolic pathways release the energy stored in complex
organic molecules The breakdown of organic molecules is
exergonic One catabolic process, fermentation
is a partial degradation of sugars that occurs without O2
![Page 7: Chapter 9 Cellular Respiration: Harvesting Chemical Energy Updated October 2008.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649d805503460f94a63de5/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Cellular respiration
A more efficient and widespread catabolic process Aerobic respiration consumes organic
molecules and O2 and yields ATP
Anaerobic respiration is similar to aerobic respiration but consumes compounds other than O2
![Page 8: Chapter 9 Cellular Respiration: Harvesting Chemical Energy Updated October 2008.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649d805503460f94a63de5/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Cellular respiration analogy
Combustion of gasoline in an automobile engine after O2 is mixed with a hydrocarbon fuel Food is the fuel for respiration. The
exhaust is carbon dioxide and water The overall process is:
organic compounds + O2 CO2 + H2O + energy (ATP + heat)
![Page 9: Chapter 9 Cellular Respiration: Harvesting Chemical Energy Updated October 2008.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649d805503460f94a63de5/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Cellular respiration
Carbohydrates, fats, and proteins can all be used as the fuel, but it is most useful to consider glucose
C6H12O6 + 6O2 6CO2 + 6H2O + Energy (ATP + heat)
The catabolism of glucose is exergonic with a G of −686 kcal per mole of glucose
Some of this energy is used to produce ATP, which can perform cellular work
![Page 10: Chapter 9 Cellular Respiration: Harvesting Chemical Energy Updated October 2008.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649d805503460f94a63de5/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Redox Reactions: Oxidation and Reduction
Catabolic pathways transfer the electrons stored in food molecules releasing energy that is used to make
ATP An electron loses potential energy
when it shifts from a less electronegative atom toward
a more electronegative one
![Page 11: Chapter 9 Cellular Respiration: Harvesting Chemical Energy Updated October 2008.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649d805503460f94a63de5/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
The Principle of Redox
Redox reactions Transfer electrons from one reactant to
another by oxidation and reduction In oxidation
A substance loses electrons, or is oxidized
In reduction A substance gains electrons, or is
reduced
![Page 12: Chapter 9 Cellular Respiration: Harvesting Chemical Energy Updated October 2008.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649d805503460f94a63de5/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Example of a redox reaction
Na + Cl Na+ + Cl–
becomes oxidized(loses electron)
becomes reduced(gains electron)
The formation of table salt from sodium and chloride is a redox reaction
![Page 13: Chapter 9 Cellular Respiration: Harvesting Chemical Energy Updated October 2008.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649d805503460f94a63de5/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Generally...
Xe− + Y X + Ye−
X, the electron donor is the reducing agent and reduces Y
Y, the electron recipient is the oxidizing agent and oxidizes X
Redox reactions require both a donor and acceptor
![Page 14: Chapter 9 Cellular Respiration: Harvesting Chemical Energy Updated October 2008.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649d805503460f94a63de5/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Redox energy transfer
Energy must be added to pull an electron away from an atom The more electronegative the atom, the
more energy is required to take an electron away from it
An electron loses potential energy when it shifts from a less electronegative atom toward a more electronegative one
![Page 18: Chapter 9 Cellular Respiration: Harvesting Chemical Energy Updated October 2008.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649d805503460f94a63de5/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Oxidation of Organic Fuel Molecules During Cellular Respiration
During cellular respiration Glucose is oxidized and oxygen is
reduced
C6H12O6 + 6O2 6CO2 + 6H2O + Energy
becomes oxidized
becomes reduced
![Page 19: Chapter 9 Cellular Respiration: Harvesting Chemical Energy Updated October 2008.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649d805503460f94a63de5/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Stepwise energy harvest via NAD+ and the electron transport chain (ETC)
Cellular respiration Oxidizes glucose in a series of steps,
each catalyzed by a specific enzyme. At key steps, electrons are stripped from
the glucose. In many oxidation reactions, the
electron is transferred with a proton, as a hydrogen atom.
![Page 20: Chapter 9 Cellular Respiration: Harvesting Chemical Energy Updated October 2008.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649d805503460f94a63de5/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

NADH, the reduced form of NAD+
Passes the electrons to the electron transport chain
As an electron acceptor, NAD+ functions as an oxidizing agent during cellular respiration
Each NADH molecule formed during respiration represents stored energy This energy is tapped to synthesize ATP
as electrons “fall” from NADH to oxygen
![Page 22: Chapter 9 Cellular Respiration: Harvesting Chemical Energy Updated October 2008.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649d805503460f94a63de5/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

The electron transport chain (ETC)
The ETC consists of several molecules (primarily proteins) built into the inner membrane of a mitochondrion Electrons released from food are shuttled
by NADH to the “top” higher-energy end of the chain
At the “bottom” lower-energy end, oxygen captures the electrons along with H+ to form water

The stages of cellular respiration: A Preview
Respiration occurs in three metabolic stages Glycolysis The citric acid cycle Oxidative phosphorylation
![Page 26: Chapter 9 Cellular Respiration: Harvesting Chemical Energy Updated October 2008.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649d805503460f94a63de5/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Three Metabolic Stages
Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm Breaks down glucose into two molecules
of pyruvate The citric acid cycle in the mitochondrial
matrix Completes the breakdown of glucose to
CO2
Oxidative phosphorylation Is driven by the ETC Generates ATP

Oxidative phosphorylation accounts for almost 90% of the ATP generated by cellular respiration
A smaller amount of ATP is formed in glycolysis and the citric acid cycle by substrate-level phosphorylation

Concept 9.2: Glycolysis harvests energy by oxidizing glucose to pyruvate
Glycolysis Means “splitting of sugar” Breaks down glucose into pyruvate Occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell Can occur whether O2 is present or not
![Page 32: Chapter 9 Cellular Respiration: Harvesting Chemical Energy Updated October 2008.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649d805503460f94a63de5/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

A closer look at the energy investment phase
Make sure you can describe what’s happening at each phase in glycolysis, page 166-167
Do not need to memorize compounds or enzymes
What are the important inputs & outputs?
![Page 34: Chapter 9 Cellular Respiration: Harvesting Chemical Energy Updated October 2008.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649d805503460f94a63de5/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)

A closer look at the energy payoff phase
In the energy payoff phase ATP is produced by substrate-level
phosphorylation & NAD+ is reduced to NADH by electrons released by the oxidation of glucose
The net yield from glycolysis is 2 ATP and 2 NADH per glucose
No CO2 is produced during glycolysis
![Page 36: Chapter 9 Cellular Respiration: Harvesting Chemical Energy Updated October 2008.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649d805503460f94a63de5/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)

Concept 9.3: The citric acid cycle completes the energy-yielding oxidation of organic molecules
The citric acid cycle Takes place in the matrix of the
mitochondrion
Before the citric acid cycle can begin Pyruvate must first be converted to acetyl
CoA, which links the cycle to glycolysis
![Page 38: Chapter 9 Cellular Respiration: Harvesting Chemical Energy Updated October 2008.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649d805503460f94a63de5/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)

A closer look at the citric acid cycle
Need to know: All the compounds & where they are in
the cycle All the inputs & outputs What is happening at each phase Be able to answer questions like “How
many times does the cycle have to run to use1 glucose molecule?”
![Page 41: Chapter 9 Cellular Respiration: Harvesting Chemical Energy Updated October 2008.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649d805503460f94a63de5/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
The citric acid cycle oxidizes organic fuel derived from pyruvate
The citric acid cycle has eight steps each catalyzed by a specific enzyme.
The next seven steps decompose the citrate back to oxaloacetate It is the regeneration of oxaloacetate that
makes this process a cycle The cycle generates one ATP per turn
by substrate-level phosphorylation
![Page 42: Chapter 9 Cellular Respiration: Harvesting Chemical Energy Updated October 2008.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649d805503460f94a63de5/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Citric acid cycle: Energy
Most of the chemical energy is transferred to NAD+ & FAD during the redox reactions
The reduced coenzymes NADH & FADH2 then transfer high-energy electrons to the ETC
Each cycle produces one ATP by substrate-level phosphorylation, three NADH, and one FADH2 per acetyl CoA
![Page 43: Chapter 9 Cellular Respiration: Harvesting Chemical Energy Updated October 2008.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649d805503460f94a63de5/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)

Concept 9.4: During oxidative phosphorylation, chemiosmosis couples electron transport to ATP synthesis
• Following glycolysis & the citric acid cycle, NADH and FADH2 account for most of the energy extracted from food
• These two electron carriers donate electrons to the electron transport chain, which powers ATP synthesis via oxidative phosphorylation
![Page 45: Chapter 9 Cellular Respiration: Harvesting Chemical Energy Updated October 2008.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649d805503460f94a63de5/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
The electron transport chain is in the cristae of the mitochondrion
Most of the chain’s components are proteins, which exist in multiprotein complexes
The carriers alternate reduced and oxidized states as they accept and donate electrons
Electrons drop in free energy as they go down the chain and are finally passed to O2, forming H2O
The Pathway of Electron Transport
![Page 46: Chapter 9 Cellular Respiration: Harvesting Chemical Energy Updated October 2008.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649d805503460f94a63de5/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
At the end of the chain...
Electrons are passed to oxygen, forming water
![Page 47: Chapter 9 Cellular Respiration: Harvesting Chemical Energy Updated October 2008.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649d805503460f94a63de5/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Generating energy
The ETC generates no ATP directly Its function is to break the large free
energy drop from food to oxygen into a series of smaller steps that release
energy in manageable amounts How does the mitochondrion couple
electron transport & energy release to ATP synthesis? The answer is a mechanism called
chemiosmosis
![Page 48: Chapter 9 Cellular Respiration: Harvesting Chemical Energy Updated October 2008.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649d805503460f94a63de5/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)

ATP synthesis
ATP uses the energy of an existing proton gradient to power ATP synthesis
The proton gradient develops between the intermembrane space & the matrix The proton gradient is produced by the
movement of electrons along the ETC
![Page 50: Chapter 9 Cellular Respiration: Harvesting Chemical Energy Updated October 2008.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649d805503460f94a63de5/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
The resulting H+ gradient
Stores energy Drives chemiosmosis in ATP synthase Is referred to as a proton-motive force
The gradient has the capacity to do work

Chemiosmosis in chloroplasts also generates ATP but light drives the electron flow down an
ETC & H+ gradient formation. Prokaryotes generate H+ gradients
across their plasma membrane They can use this proton-motive force not
only to generate ATP, but also to pump nutrients & waste products across the membrane & to rotate their flagella

About 40% of the energy in a glucose molecule
Is transferred to ATP during cellular respiration, making approximately 38 ATP
![Page 56: Chapter 9 Cellular Respiration: Harvesting Chemical Energy Updated October 2008.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649d805503460f94a63de5/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
Concept 9.5: Fermentation enables some cells to produce ATP without the use of oxygen
Most cellular respiration requires O2 to produce ATP
Glycolysis can produce ATP with or without O2 (in aerobic or anaerobic conditions)
In the absence of O2, glycolysis couples with fermentation or anaerobic respiration to produce ATP
![Page 57: Chapter 9 Cellular Respiration: Harvesting Chemical Energy Updated October 2008.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649d805503460f94a63de5/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
Anaerobic respiration vs. fermentation
Anaerobic respiration uses an electron transport chain with an electron acceptor other than O2, for example sulfate
Fermentation uses phosphorylation instead of an electron transport chain to generate ATP
![Page 58: Chapter 9 Cellular Respiration: Harvesting Chemical Energy Updated October 2008.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649d805503460f94a63de5/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
Types of fermentation
Fermentation consists of glycolysis plus reactions that regenerate NAD+, which can be reused by glycolysis
Two common types are alcohol fermentation and lactic acid fermentation
![Page 59: Chapter 9 Cellular Respiration: Harvesting Chemical Energy Updated October 2008.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649d805503460f94a63de5/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
In alcohol fermentation, pyruvate is converted to ethanol in two steps, with the first releasing CO2
Alcohol fermentation by yeast is used in brewing, winemaking, and baking

In lactic acid fermentation, pyruvate is reduced to NADH, forming lactate as an end product, with no release of CO2
Lactic acid fermentation by some fungi and bacteria is used to make cheese and yogurt
Human muscle cells use lactic acid fermentation to generate ATP when O2 is scarce

Fermentation & Cellular Respiration Compared
Both fermentation & cellular respiration Use glycolysis to oxidize glucose and
other organic fuels to pyruvate Fermentation and cellular respiration

Obligate anaerobes carry out fermentation or anaerobic respiration and cannot survive in the presence of O2
Yeast and many bacteria are facultative anaerobes, meaning that they can survive using either fermentation or cellular respiration
In a facultative anaerobe, pyruvate is a fork in the metabolic road that leads to two alternative catabolic routes

Facultative anaerobes
Yeast and many bacteria are facultative anaerobes that can survive using either fermentation or respiration At a cellular level, human muscle cells
can behave as facultative anaerobes Methane can also be a product of
bacterial fermentation Produces methane in wetlands and
ruminant stomachs
![Page 67: Chapter 9 Cellular Respiration: Harvesting Chemical Energy Updated October 2008.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649d805503460f94a63de5/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
Famous anaerobes in history The oldest bacterial fossils are more than 3.5
billion years old, appearing long before appreciable quantities of O2 accumulated in the atmosphere Therefore, the first prokaryotes may have generated
ATP exclusively from glycolysis The fact that glycolysis is a ubiquitous
metabolic pathway & occurs in the cytosol without membrane-enclosed organelles suggests that glycolysis evolved early in the history
of life
![Page 68: Chapter 9 Cellular Respiration: Harvesting Chemical Energy Updated October 2008.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649d805503460f94a63de5/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
Concept 9.6: Glycolysis & the citric acid cycle connect to many other metabolic pathway
The Versatility of Catabolism Catabolic pathways funnel electrons from
many kinds of organic molecules into cellular respiration
![Page 69: Chapter 9 Cellular Respiration: Harvesting Chemical Energy Updated October 2008.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649d805503460f94a63de5/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)
The Versatility of Catabolism
Catabolic pathways funnel electrons from many kinds of organic molecules into cellular respiration
Glycolysis accepts a wide range of carbohydrates
Proteins must be digested to amino acids; amino groups can feed glycolysis or the citric acid cycle
![Page 70: Chapter 9 Cellular Respiration: Harvesting Chemical Energy Updated October 2008.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649d805503460f94a63de5/html5/thumbnails/70.jpg)
Fats are digested to glycerol (used in glycolysis) and fatty acids (used in generating acetyl CoA)
Fatty acids are broken down by beta oxidation and yield acetyl CoA
An oxidized gram of fat produces more than twice as much ATP as an oxidized gram of carbohydrate
![Page 71: Chapter 9 Cellular Respiration: Harvesting Chemical Energy Updated October 2008.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649d805503460f94a63de5/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)

Biosynthesis (anabolic pathways)
The body Uses small molecules to build other
substances These small molecules
May come directly from food or through glycolysis or the citric acid cycle
Anabolic, or biosynthetic, pathways consume ATP.
![Page 73: Chapter 9 Cellular Respiration: Harvesting Chemical Energy Updated October 2008.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649d805503460f94a63de5/html5/thumbnails/73.jpg)
Regulation of Cellular Respiration via Feedback Mechanisms
Feedback inhibition is the most common mechanism for control
If ATP concentration begins to drop, respiration speeds up; when there is plenty of ATP, respiration slows down
Control of catabolism is based mainly on regulating the activity of enzymes at strategic points in the catabolic pathway
![Page 74: Chapter 9 Cellular Respiration: Harvesting Chemical Energy Updated October 2008.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649d805503460f94a63de5/html5/thumbnails/74.jpg)
