Cellular Respiration -- Overview

Cellular respiration is a series of oxidation-reduction reactions

It takes about 10 million ATP per second to power a muscle cell.

What gases besides oxygen do we breathe, and are they essential?

Gases – concentration N2 78.0% O2 20.9% Ar 0.9% Others 0.2-0.4%

Metabolism

A series of chemical reactions form a metabolic pathway. Each reaction in the series is catalyzed by a specific enzyme. Most metabolic pathways are similar in all organisms. Some metabolic pathways take place in organelles in eukaryotes.

Glycolysis

Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm

Electron Transport Electron carriers transfer high energy e- to electron transport chain Energy is used to pump H+ across the inner membrane This creates an electrochemical gradient – a form of potential energy

Both the inner and outer membranes are lipid bilayers.

ATP Synthesis

1) ATP Synthase contains a H+ channel

2) As H+ move through the channel, potential energy is converted to kinetic energy

3) The kinetic energy is coupled to ATP synthesis

How long can we survive without water?

Depends on your kidneys

Humans -- ~ 3 – 5 days

kangaroo rat

They get all the water they need from metabolic water.

Fermentation

so cell can keep making ATP without O2

recycles NAD+

What makes muscles sore after exercise?

So, all we need to eat is glucose??

In addition to protein, carbohydrates, and lipids – foods supply many other key nutrients.

Photosynthesis uses Light

Visible light is one type of electromagnetic radiation

Shorter wavelength Longer wavelength Lower energy Higher energy

Electromagnetic Radiation

Wave and particle components

Particles of visible light are called photons

Photosynthesis uses Light

Atmosphere

Sunlight

Some heat energy escapes into space

Radiant heat trapped by CO2 and other gases

Photosynthesis uses Light

Plants have many pigments.

Photosynthesis involves two pathways Light reactions convert light energy into chemical

energy (in ATP and the reduced electron carrier NADPH).

Carbon-fixing reactions use ATP and NADPH

from the light reactions, along with CO2, to produce carbohydrates.

What happens when a plant pigment absorbs a photon?

The photon energy is used to “excite” an electron in chlorophyll.

The excited electron is used by an e- transfer chain.

What happens when a plant pigment absorbs a photon?

ATP synthase

What happens when a plant pigment absorbs a photon?

Light Rxns Produce ATP and NADPH

NADP+ is the electron carrier in Photosynthesis

The Calvin Cycle Synthesizes PGAL

The energy from sunlight – captured in ATP and NADPH is use to build a new organic molecule

The Calvin Cycle takes place in the stroma of the chloroplast.

Where is photosynthesis happening?

OR – What fraction of light energy hitting the earth is turned into chemical energy by photosynthesis?

How efficient is photosynthesis?

~5%

What happens to the rest? not the right wavelength don’t hit a pigment molecule in the plant lost in conversion of ATP and NADPH to glucose

Despite that 5% efficiency --

How efficient is photosynthesis?

Photosynthesis converts ~104.9 petagrams of carbon per year into biomass that is 104.9 x 1015 grams or 23.1 x 1015 lb or 23.1 quadrillion pounds

Scale – grams of carbon per square meter per year
