  1. What’s the point? Cellular Respiration! TO MAKE ATP!!

  2. Energy! • Forms of energy include chemical, radiant (heat and light), mechanical and electrical • Chemical energy is contained in the chemical bonds of molecules • Radiant energy travels in waves (ex: visible light) • Energy can be transferred from one form to another • Law of Thermodynamics • Energy cannot be created or destroyed - can be converted from one form to another • Usable energy is lost during transformations

  3. ATP!! • Composed of adenine base, ribose sugar, and 3 phosphate groups (PO4) • Phosphorylation – the addition of a phosphate group • Substrate-level phosphorylation– enzymes help break and down and convert those high energy PO4 bonds • When the bond is broken it releases energy, a phosphate group and ADP

  4. Enzymes in Metabolic Pathways! I ♥ NADH! • Biological catalysts • Speeds up chemical reactions • Weakens existing bonds in substrates which lowers the amount of activation energy needed • NADH – a second energy carrying molecule in mitochondria and produces 3 ATP • FADH2– a third energy carrying molecule in the mitochondria and produces 2 ATP

  5. Mitochondria! • Has a smooth, outer membrane and a folded inner membrane • Cristae – folds of inner membrane – electron transport chain occurs here • Matrix – space inside cristae and contains DNA and ribosomes – Krebs cycle takes place here • Site of aerobic respiration

  6. Cellular Respiration Overview! • C6H12O6 + 6O2 6CO2 + 6H2O (heat and ATP) • Controlled release of energy from organic molecules • Glucose is oxidized (loses e-) and oxygen is reduced (gains e-) • Carbon atoms of glucose is released as CO2 • One glucose molecule generates 36 ATP • 3 steps • Glycolysis • Kreb’s Cycle • Electron Transport Chain (ETC) Glucose rhymes with lumos!

  7. Glycolysis! • Occurs in cytoplasm • Summary of steps • 2 ATP added to glucose (6C) to energize it • Glucose splits into two PGAL (3C) • H+ and e- is removed from each PGAL and given to make 2 NADH • NADH – energy and electron carrier • Each PGAL is rearranged into pyruvate (3C) with energy and transferred to make 4 ATP • Creates 4 ATP but glycolysis requires 2 ATP so the net product is 2 ATP • If oxygen is available then the pyruvate will move to the mitochondria and being aerobic respiration

  8. Glycolysis (cont.) • If no oxygen is available (anaerobic) the pyruvate will be fermented by the addition of 2 H from the NADH, which changes it to NAD+ and keeps glycolysis going • Net yield of Glycolysis • 4 NADH2 • 2 CO2 • 2 ATP

  9. Kreb’s Cycle! • AKA Citric Acid cycle • Requires 2 cycles to metabolize glucose • Acetyl Co-A (2C) enters the Kreb’s cycle and combines with oxaloacetic acid (4C) to make citric acid (6C) • Citric acid is oxidized releasing CO2, free H+, and e- forming ketoglutaric acid (5C) • Free e- reduce NAD+ to NADH2 and FAD+ to FADH2 • Ketoglutaric acid is also oxidized releasing more CO2, free H+, and e-

  10. Kreb’s Cycle (cont.) • The cycle continues oxidizing the carbon compounds producing more CO2, NADH2, FADH2, and ATP • H2O is added to supply more H+ • CO2 is a waste product and leaves the cell • Oxaloacetic acid is regenerated to start the cycle again • NADH2 and FADH2 migrate to the ETC • Net yield from Kreb’s Cycle (2 turns) • 6 NADH2 • 2 FADH2 • 4 CO2 • 2 ATP

  11. Electron Transport Chain! • Found in the cristae • Contains 4 protein-based complexes that works in sequence moving H+ from the matrix across the inner membrane (proton pumps) • A concentration gradient of H+ between the inner and outer membrane occurs • H+ concentration gradient causes the synthesis of ATP by chemiosmosis • Energized e- and H+ from 10 NADH2 and 2 FADH2 are transferred to O2 to produce H2O
