Study Notes
Cellular Tasks
- Cells require energy for stimulating metabolic reactions, transporting substances across membranes, and performing mechanical work such as muscle movement.
Metabolism
- Cell metabolism encompasses all physical and chemical changes in the body; it is energy-dependent.
Anabolism
- Anabolic processes build larger substances from smaller units, exemplified by protein synthesis from amino acids.
Catabolism
- Catabolic processes involve breaking down larger molecules into smaller ones, such as carbohydrates, fats, and proteins.
Cell Respiration
- Essential for metabolic functions; glucose oxidation produces CO2, H2O, ATP, and acids.
- ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) serves as the primary energy source, vital for cellular tasks.
Stages of Cellular Respiration
- Energy production includes three stages: Glycolysis, Krebs Cycle, and Electron Transport Chain.
- Approximately 36 ATP molecules are needed for optimal cellular function.
Glycolysis
- The first stage stabilizes glucose using ATP and prepares it for further breakdown but results in pyruvic acid, lactic acid, limited ATP, and CO2.
Krebs Cycle
- The second stage, or citric acid cycle, breaks down pyruvic acid in both aerobic (with oxygen) and anaerobic (without oxygen) environments, generating pyruvic acid, CO2, H2O, and ATP.
Carbon Dioxide Transport
- CO2 is transported from cells: 65% as bicarbonate, 25% bound to blood proteins, and 10% in plasma.
- CO2 diffuses easily across cellular membranes and is a byproduct of bicarbonate production.
Kidney Function and CO2
- Kidneys filter waste from metabolism and regulate bicarbonate, producing CO2, which acts as a weak acid. Treatments like sodium bicarbonate release CO2, potentially elevating blood CO2 levels.
Anaerobic Respiration
- In the absence of oxygen, glycolysis continues, leading to the accumulation of lactic acid and risking metabolic acidosis.
Aerobic Respiration
- With sufficient oxygen, the Krebs Cycle efficiently breaks down pyruvic acid, producing CO2 and ATP, allowing progress to the final respiration stage.
Electron Transport Chain
- The third stage is responsible for generating the highest ATP yield (34 ATP) and operates exclusively under aerobic conditions.
Final Goals of Cellular Respiration
- The ultimate aim of cellular respiration is to achieve 36 total ATP for energy.
Clinical Implications
- In emergencies like cardiac arrest, chest compressions are critical ("Prime The Heart"), while shock and sepsis management involves fluids and oxygen for sick patients.
