  1. Cellular RespirationHarvesting Chemical Energy ATP

  2. glucose + oxygen  energy + water + carbon dioxide respiration ATP + 6H2O + 6CO2 + heat  C6H12O6 + 6O2 COMBUSTION = making a lot of heat energy by burning fuels in one step ATP glucose O2 O2 fuel(carbohydrates) Harvesting stored energy • Glucose is the model • catabolism of glucose to produce ATP RESPIRATION = making ATP (& some heat)by burning fuels in many small steps ATP enzymes CO2 + H2O + heat CO2 + H2O + ATP (+ heat)

  3. + + oxidation reduction e- 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 loses e- gains e- oxidized reduced + – e- e- redox

  4. e p loses e- gains e- oxidized reduced + – + + H oxidation reduction H  C6H12O6 + 6O2 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP H How do we move electrons in biology? • Moving electrons in living systems • electrons cannot move alone in cells • electrons move as part of H atom • move H = move electrons oxidation reduction e-

  5. oxidation  C6H12O6 + 6O2 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP reduction Coupling oxidation & reduction • REDOX reactions in respiration • release energy as organic molecules are broken down • break C-C bonds • strip off electrons from C-H bonds by removing H atoms • C6H12O6CO2 =thefuel has been oxidized • electrons attracted to more electronegative atoms • in biology, the most electronegative atom? • O2H2O =oxygen has been reduced • couple REDOX reactions & use the released energy to synthesize ATP O2

  6. Oxidation adding O removing H loss of electrons releases energy exergonic Reduction removing O adding H gain of electrons stores energy endergonic oxidation  C6H12O6 + 6O2 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP reduction Oxidation & reduction

  8. C6H12O6 + 6O2 ATP + 6H2O + 6CO2 Overview of cellular respiration • 4 metabolic stages • Anaerobic respiration 1. Glycolysis • respiration without O2 • in cytosol • Aerobic respiration • respiration using O2 • in mitochondria 2. Pyruvate oxidation 3. Krebs cycle 4. Electron transport chain (+ heat)

  9. H+ H+ H+ H+ H+ H+ H+ H+ + P H+ And how do we do that? • ATP synthase enzyme • H+ flows through it • conformational changes • bondPitoADP to make ATP • set up a H+ gradient • allow the H+ to flow down concentration gradient through ATP synthase • ADP + Pi ATP ADP ATP But… How is the proton (H+) gradient formed?
