Notes, Chp 7 Reading and Notes• *NOTE QUIZ ON CHP 7 TOMORROW*

Warm Up

• Why does your heart rate increase when you exercise?

Cellular Respiration

2005-2006

How do we harvest energy from fuels?• Digest large molecules into smaller ones– break bonds & move electrons from one

molecule to another• as electrons move they carry energy with them• that energy is stored in another bond, released as

heat, or harvested to make ATP

How do we move electrons in biology?• Moving electrons– in living systems, electrons do not

move alone• electrons move as part of H atom

Cellular Respiration Overview

Three Parts

• 1. Glycolysis• 2. Krebs Cycle• 3. Electron Transport Chain (Oxidative

Phosphorylation)

Glycolysis

• In glycolysis, a glucose molecule is broken in half to produce 2 pyruvate molecules

• This process actually needs energy and 2 ATPs are used

• 4 ATPs are made by breaking the bonds in glucose so we have a net gain of 2 ATPs

Glycolysis

• Glycolysis happens in the cytoplasm

• It is the most ancient form of energy capture

• It is the starting point for cellular respiration

Glycolysis

• Input: Glucose• Output: 2 Pyruvates, 2 ATPs, Electron Carriers

Pyruvate is a branching pointPyruvate

O2O2

Kreb’s cyclemitochondria

fermentation

• For today… we are going to focus on what happens when oxygen is present

• This is called aerobic respiration

Krebs Cycle

• Pyruvate is oxidized into Acetyl-CoA• Acetyl-CoA is a 2 carbon molecule that then goes

through the Krebs cycle and is converted into multiple other compounds– The first compound made is citrate

• As these new carbon compounds are made CO2 is released, NADH is made, and FADH2 is made

• At the end of the cycle oxaloacetate is made which can then combine with pyruvate to create another molecule of citrate starting the cycle again

My nightmare…

Krebs Cycle

Krebs Cycle

• Input: Pyruvate• Output: NADH, FADH2, CO2, ATP

So why the Krebs cycle?

• If the yield is only 2 ATP, then why?– value of NADH & FADH2

• electron carriers• reduced molecules store energy!• to be used in the Electron Transport Chain

ATP accounting so far…• Glycolysis 2 ATP• Kreb’s cycle 2 ATP

• Life takes a lot of energy to run, need to extract more energy than 4 ATP!

Why stop here…

Electron Transport Chain

• Also called oxidative phosphorylation

• Similar concept to light dependent reactions

2 NADH

8 NADH2 FADH2

Remember the NADH?

Electron Transport Chain or Chemiosmosis

• NADH passes electrons to ETC– H cleaved off NADH & FADH2

– electrons stripped from H atoms H+ (H ions)– electrons passed from one electron carrier to next in mitochondrial

membrane (ETC)– transport proteins in membrane pump H+ across inner membrane to

intermembrane space

2005-2006

Electrons flow downhill• Electrons move in steps from

carrier to carrier downhill to O2

– each carrier more electronegative– controlled oxidation– controlled release of energy

2005-2006

Why the build up H+?• ATP synthase

– enzyme in inner membrane of mitochondria

ADP + Pi ATP

– only channel permeable to H+ – H+ flow down concentration gradient =

provides energy for ATP synthesis• molecular power generator!• flow like water over water wheel• flowing H+ cause change in shape of

ATP synthase enzyme• powers bonding of Pi to ADP• “proton-motive” force

Cellular respiration

Summary of cellular respiration

• Where did the glucose come from?• Where did the O2 come from?• Where did the CO2 come from?• Where did the H2O come from?• Where did the ATP come from?• What else is produced that is not listed

in this equation?• Why do we breathe?

C6H12O6 6O2 6CO2 6H2O ~36 ATP+ + +

Taking it beyond…• What is the final electron acceptor in

electron transport chain?O2

So what happens if O2 unavailable?

ETC backs up ATP production ceases cells run out of energy and you die!

Cellular Respiration Story Boards• Scene 1: Glycolysis• Scene 2: Kreb’s Cycle• Scene 3: Oxidative Phosphorylation

• Include– What each reactant is used for, how each product is made– Important intermediates (NADH etc.)– A picture or diagram– Where in the cell the ‘scene’ occurs– The importance of oxygen– The role of ATP synthase– How ATP is eventually made– What would happen to cellular respiration at extremely high temps
