Cellular RespirationCellular respiration: A catabolic energy yielding pathway in which oxygen and organic fuels are consumed and ATP is produced

• An aerobic process—it requires oxygen

Reduction

Oxidation

Oxygen gains electrons (and hydrogens)

Glucose loses electrons(and hydrogens)

•By oxidizing glucose, energy is taken out of “storage” and made available for ATP synthesis

3 metabolic stages:

*glycolysis *Krebs cycle

*electron transport chain and oxidative phosphorylation

*Substrate-level phosphorylation

*Oxidative phosphorylation

Metabolic Disequilibrium

*Multi-step open system

Glycolysis harvests chemical energy by oxidizing glucose to pyruvate

Glycolysis: Energy Investment Phase

1) Glucose is phosphorylated

2) G-6-P is rearranged

3) Addition of another phosphate group

5) Conversion b/w the 2 3-carbon sugars

4) Cleavage into 2 3-carbon sugars

6) Two components: *electron transfer *Phosphate group addition

Glycolysis: Energy Payoff Phase

7) ATP production

8) Rearrangement of phosphate group

9) Loss of water

10) ATP production

Fermentation enables cell to produce ATP w/o O2

The presence or absence of O2 dictates the fate of pyruvate

The Krebs cycle: energy-yielding oxidationThe junction b/w glycolysis and the Krebs cycle:

Multienzyme complex:1) Removal of CO2 2) Electron transfer *pyruvate dehydrogenase 3) Addition of CoA
