Chapter 27 Bioenergetics; How the Body Converts Food to Energy
MetabolismMetabolism: The sum of all chemical reactions involved in maintaining the dynamic state of a cell or organism.• Pathway: A series of biochemical reactions.• Catabolism: The process of breaking down large
nutrient molecules into smaller molecules with the concurrent production of energy.
• Anabolism: The process of synthesizing larger molecules from smaller ones.
2
MetabolismMetabolism is the sum of catabolism and anabolism.

Cells and MitochondriaAnimal cells have many components, each with specific functions; some components along with one or more of their functions are:• Nucleus: Where replication of DNA takes place.• Lysosomes: Remove damaged cellular components and some
unwanted foreign materials.• Golgi bodies: Package and process proteins for secretion and
delivery to other cellular components.• Mitochondria: Organelles in which the common catabolic pathway
takes place in higher organisms; the purpose of this catabolic pathway is to convert the energy stored in food molecules into energy stored in molecules of ATP.

The Common Metabolic Pathway• The two parts to the common catabolic pathway:
• The citric acid cycle, also called the tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA) or Krebs cycle.
• Electron transport chain and phosphorylation, together called oxidative phosphorylation.
• Four principal compounds participating in the common catabolic pathway are:• AMP, ADP, and ATP: agents for the storage and transfer of
phosphate groups.• NAD+/NADH: agents for the transfer of electrons in
biological oxidation-reduction reactions.• FAD/FADH2: agents for the transfer of electrons in biological
oxidation-reduction reactions. • Coenzyme A; abbreviated CoA or CoA-SH: An agent for the
transfer of acetyl groups.
8
Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP)ATP is the most important compound involved in the transfer of phosphate groups.• ATP contains two phosphoric anhydride bonds and
one phosphoric ester bond.
9
Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP)• Hydrolysis of the terminal phosphate (anhydride) of ATP gives
ADP, dihydrogen phosphate ion, and energy.
• Hydrolysis of a phosphoric anhydride liberates more energy than the hydrolysis of a phosphoric ester.
• We say that ATP and ADP each contain high-energy phosphoric anhydride bonds.
• ATP is a universal carrier of phosphate groups.• ATP is also a common currency for the storage and transfer of
energy.
10
NAD+/NADH• Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is a biological
oxidizing agent.
11
NAD+/NADH• NAD+ is a two-electron oxidizing agent, and is reduced
to NADH.• NADH is a two-electron reducing agent, and is oxidized
to NAD+. The structures shown here are the nicotinamide portions of NAD+ and NADH.
• NADH is an electron and hydrogen ion transporting molecule.
12
FAD/FADH2
• Flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) is also a biological oxidizing agent.
13
FAD/FADH2
• FAD is a two-electron oxidizing agent, and is reduced to FADH2.
• FADH2 is a two-electron reducing agent, and is oxidized to FAD.
• Only the flavin moiety is shown in the structures below.
14
Coenzyme A• Coenzyme A (CoA) is an acetyl group carrier.
• Like NAD+ and FAD, coenzyme A contains a unit of ADP.
• CoA is often written CoA-SH to emphasize the fact that it contains a sulfhydryl group.
• The vitamin part of coenzyme A is pantothenic acid.• The acetyl group of acetyl CoA is bound as a high-
energy thioester.
