How Cells Harvest Chemical Energy


INTRODUCTION TO CELLULAR RESPIRATION

6.1 Photosynthesis and cellular respiration provide energy for life

• Cellular respiration makes ATP and consumes O2

– During the oxidation of glucose to CO2 and H2O


• Photosynthesis uses solar energy

• Breathing provides for the exchange of O2 and CO2 between an organism and its environment

6.3 Cellular respiration stores energy in ATP molecules

• Cellular respiration breaks down glucose molecules

– And stores their energy in ATP

6.4 The human body uses energy from ATP for all its activities

Table 6.4

ATP powers almost all cellular and body activities


6.5 Cells tap energy from electrons “falling” from organic fuels to oxygen

• Electrons lose potential energy

– During their transfer from organic compounds to oxygen


• When glucose is converted to carbon dioxide

– It loses hydrogen atoms, which are added to oxygen, producing water

• As electrons “fall” from carrier to carrier and finally to O2

STAGES OF CELLULAR RESPIRATION AND FERMENTATION

• 6.6 Overview: Cellular respiration occurs in three main stages

• Cellular respiration

– Occurs in three main stages


• Stage 1: Glycolysis

– Occurs in the cytoplasm

– Breaks down glucose into pyruvate, producing a small amount of ATP


• Stage 2: The citric acid cycle

– Takes place in the mitochondria

– Completes the breakdown of glucose, producing a small amount of ATP

– Supplies the third stage of cellular respiration with electrons


• Stage 3: Oxidative phosphorylation

– Occurs in the mitochondria

– Uses the energy released by “falling” electrons to pump H+ across a membrane

– Harnesses the energy of the H+ gradient through chemiosmosis, producing ATP

– Which is split into two molecules of pyruvate

– Enzymes process pyruvate, releasing CO2 and producing NADH and acetyl CoA

When pyruvate enters the matrix of mitochondria it is converted to acetylCoA. Coenzyme A (CoA) is a large molecule (and a vitamin) that acts as a coenzyme.

The conversion of pyruvate to acetylCoA is an coupled oxidation-reduction reaction in which high energy electrons are removed from pyruvate and end up in NADH. The three carbon pyruvate is split into CO2 and the two carbon acetate.

6.10 Most ATP production occurs by oxidative phosphorylation

• Electrons from NADH and FADH2

– Travel down the electron transport chain to oxygen, which picks up H+ to form water

• Energy released by the redox reactions

– Is used to pump H+ into the space between the mitochondrial membranes


• In chemiosmosis, the H+ diffuses back through the inner membrane through ATP synthase complexes --Driving the synthesis of ATP

6.13 Fermentation is an anaerobic alternative to cellular respiration

• Under anaerobic conditions, many kinds of cells

– Can use glycolysis alone to produce small amounts of ATP


• In lactic acid fermentation

– NADH is oxidized to NAD+ as pyruvate is reduced to lactate

• Carbohydrates, fats, and proteins can all fuel cellular respiration

– When they are converted to molecules that enter glycolysis or the citric acid cycle

removed via deamination.• The carbon skeletons are modified by enzymes and enter as

intermediaries into glycolysis or the citric acid cycle, depending on their structure.
