CELLULAR RESPIRATION
Overall Process
C6H12O6 + 6O2 6CO2 + 6H2O + ENERGY
Purpose: Organisms routinely break down complex molecules in controlled steps and use energy released (in the form of ATP) from this catabolic process to do work.
ATP – adenosine triphosphate
Phosphate bonds• PO4 bonds are high energy bonds
– Require energy to make– Release energy when broken
Phosphorylation• Adding a phosphate group to any molecule
– Ex: ADP + Pi ATP
• Oxidative phosphorylation – phosphorylation results from redox reactions
• Substrate-level phosphorylation – phosphate group transfers from a molecule (“substrate”) instead of ADP + Pi ADP
How ATP Drives Cellular Work
Transport Work:ATP Phosphorylates Transport Proteins
Mechanical Work:ATP Phosphorylates Motor Proteins
Chemical Work:ATP Phosphorylates Key Reactants
Phosphate groups are removed and recycled as work is performed
ATP ADP + P
Cellular Respiration
• Divided into 3 parts:1. Glycolysis2. Krebs Cycle (aka Citric Acid Cycle) or Fermentation 3. Oxidative phosphorylation (ETC & Chemiosmosis)
1. Glycolysis• Breakdown of glucose into pyruvate in cytoplasm w/
or w/o presence of O2
• 2 phases:– Investment phase: use 2 ATP to break up glucose into 2
PGAL (C-C-C-p)– Payoff phase: each PGAL turns into pyruvate (C-C-C)
• Each PGAL pyruvate change makes 2 ATPs via substrate level phosphorylation and 1 NADH via redox
2. Krebs Cycle (aka citric acid cycle)
• Occurs in presence of O2
• Occurs in inner space or matrix of mitochondria• Complete oxidation of glucose to CO2 occurs here
1. Pyruvate is oxidized into Acetyl CoA reducing NAD+ into NADH on the way
• CO2 is formed
2. Acetyl CoA + oxaloacetic acid → citric acid
3. Citric acid is oxidized forming 2 CO2 as waste• This becomes oxaloacetic acid again @ end of cycle• This oxidation powers the reduction of 3 NAD+ 3
NADH and 1 FAD+ FADH2 as well as the phosphorylation of ADP ATP.
• Also get e-’s and protons (H+) for ETC/Chemiosomosis
ETC• Occurs in the inner membrane of mitochondrial
matrix• Energy released as e- travels down
ETC is used to establish a proton gradient
• Final electron acceptor is O2 • 2H+ (from FADH2 and NADH)
• 2e- (from FADH2 and NADH)
• ½ O2
H2O!
Key Points
• No ATP is generated during ETC; ATP comes from chemiosmosis!
• Source of e- = NADH and FADH2 reduction• Source of H+ = same as above!
Phosphorylation…1. Photophosphorylation – plants use energy from
sun to drive phosphorylation of ADP ATP2. Substrate-level phosphorylation – glycolysis
and Krebs cycle use proteins (substrates) to phosphorylate ADP ATP
3. Oxidative phosphorylation – in ETC, redox reactions drive production of ATP• This is where most of ATP generated from cell
respiration comes from!
Fermentation
• Process whereby cells produce ATP without O2
• Alcohol fermentation – pyruvate is converted to ethanol• CO2 released
• Lactic acid fermentation – pyruvate is reduced directly by NADH to form lactate • No CO2 released
