I. Catabolic Pathways and Production of ATP • Fermentation = partial degradation of sugars that occurs without O2 • Aerobic respiration uses organic molecules and O2 and yields ATP • Anaerobic respiration = similar to aerobic but consumes compounds other than O2
Cellular respiration includes aerobic and anaerobic • C6H12O6 + 6 O2 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + Energy (ATP + heat)
II. Redox Reactions: Oxidation and Reduction • Transfer of electrons, releases energy stored in organic molecules, used to synthesize ATP
A. Principle of Redox • Chemical reactions that transfer electrons between reactants are called oxidation-reduction reactions, or redox reactions • Oxidation = substance loses electrons, oxidized • Reduction = substance gains electrons, reduced (the amount of + charge is reduced) • Electron donor = reducing agent • Electron receptor = oxidizing agent
Fig. 9-UN1 becomes oxidized (loses electron) becomes reduced (gains electron)
Fig. 9-UN2 becomes oxidized becomes reduced
Fig. 9-3 Reactants Products becomes oxidized becomes reduced Carbon dioxide Water Methane (reducing agent) Oxygen (oxidizing agent)
Fig. 9-UN3 becomes oxidized becomes reduced
B. NAD+ and the Electron Transport Chain • Glucose is broken down in a series of steps • Electrons are first transferred to NAD+, a coenzyme • As an electron acceptor, NAD+ functions as an oxidizing agent • Each NADH (the reduced form of NAD+) represents stored energy that is tapped to make ATP • How NAD works

NADH passes the electrons to the electron transport chain • ETC passes electrons in a series of steps instead of one explosive reaction • O2 pulls electrons down the chain in an energy-yielding tumble • The energy yielded regenerates ATP

III. Stages of Cellular Respiration: A Preview • Cellular respiration has three stages: • Glycolysis (breaks down glucose into two molecules of pyruvate) • Citric acid cycle (completes the breakdown of glucose) • Oxidative phosphorylation (accounts for most of the ATP synthesis)

Oxidative phosphorylation (powered by redox reactions) generates most of the ATP (about 90% of total from cellular resp) • Other 10% of ATP is formed in glycolysis and the citric acid cycle by substrate-level phosphorylation

Concept 9.2: Glycolysis harvests chemical energy by oxidizing glucose to pyruvate • Glycolysis (“splitting of sugar”) breaks down glucose into two molecules of pyruvate, 2 ATP and 2 NADH (high energy e- carriers) • Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm and has two major phases: • Energy investment phase • Energy payoff phase • How glycolysis works

IV. Citric acid cycle completes oxidation • With O2, pyruvate enters mitochondrion • Pyruvate must be converted to acetyl CoA, which links the cycle to glycolysis

Citric acid cycle (Krebs cycle) takes place within mito matrix • Cycle oxidizes organic fuel derived from pyruvate, generating 1 ATP, 3 NADH, and 1 FADH2 per turn (and 2 CO2, cutting up “sugar” even more)

V. Electron Transport Chain • NADH and FADH2 donate e- s to the electron transport chain, which powers ATP synthesis via oxidative phosphorylation • In the cristae of mitochondrion • Carriers alternate reduced and oxidized states as they accept and donate e- • e- s drop in free energy as they go down the chain and are passed to O2, forming H2O

e- s are transferred from NADH or FADH2 to the electron transport chain • Electron transport chain generates no ATP • Function is to break the large free-energy drop from food to O2 into smaller steps that release energy in manageable amounts • Electron Transport Chain and Oxi Phos (3min)
VI. Chemiosmosis: Energy-Coupling • e- transfer in ETC causes proteins to pump H+ from mito matrix to intermembrane space • H+ then moves back across membrane, passing through channels in ATP synthase • ATP synthase uses the exergonic (energy releasing) flow of H+ to drive phosphorylation of ATP (ADP to ATP) • Chemiosmosis = use of energy in a H+ gradient to drive cellular work • H+ gradient is a proton-motive force, emphasizing its capacity to do work

VII. ATP Production by Cellular Respiration • During cellular respiration, most energy flows in this sequence: glucose NADH electron transport chain proton-motive force ATP • About 40% of energy in a glucose molecule is transferred to ATP during cellular respiration (about 36 / 38 ATP)

VIII. Fermentation and anaerobic respiration • W/o O2, glycolysis couples with fermentation or anaerobic respiration to produce ATP • Anaerobic respiration uses an electron transport chain with an electron acceptor other than O2, ex. sulfate • Fermentation uses phosphorylation instead of an electron transport chain to generate ATP
IX. Types of Fermentation • Fermentation = glycolysis plus reactions that regenerate NAD+ (can be reused by glycolysis) • Alcohol fermentation = pyruvate is converted to ethanol in two steps, w/ the first releasing CO2 • Yeast = used in brewing, winemaking, and baking
