Study Notes
Muscle Fibers and Their Types
- Muscle fibers are categorized as slow-twitch and fast-twitch.
- Fast-twitch muscles generate short bursts of power but have fewer mitochondria and less myoglobin compared to slow-twitch muscles.
- Genetic makeup determines the proportion of fast and slow muscle fibers in an individual.
- Training cannot convert one type of muscle fiber into another.
Anaerobic Processes
- The term "anaerobic" refers to processes that occur without oxygen (O2).
- Fast-twitch muscles utilize anaerobic processes effectively.
Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration
- Photosynthesis takes place in chloroplasts, while cellular respiration occurs in mitochondria.
- Cellular respiration produces ATP, carbon dioxide, and water but consumes glucose.
- Energy released during cellular respiration is captured in the form of ATP.
Energy Conversion in Cells
- Some energy is lost as heat during energy conversions in cellular respiration and photosynthesis.
- The overall equation for cellular respiration of glucose is:
- C6H12O6 + 6 O2 → 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + energy.
ATP Production and Usage
- Humans derive energy from food, using about 75% of daily calories for vital functions like digestion and circulation.
- A kilocalorie is defined as the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of 1 kg of water by 1°C.
Glycolysis and Citric Acid Cycle
- Glycolysis and the citric acid cycle yield a net gain of 2 ATP molecules per glucose.
- Glycolysis converts glucose into two three-carbon compounds (pyruvate).
- Oxygen is eventually oxidized during the electron transport process to form water.
Electron Transport and Chemiosmosis
- The inner mitochondrial membrane houses ATP synthase and electron carriers.
- ATP is synthesized during chemiosmosis when H+ ions move through ATP synthase.
- A drug that creates holes in mitochondrial membranes would disrupt oxidative phosphorylation and the citric acid cycle.
Cellular Respiration Efficiency
- Cellular respiration is more efficient in harnessing energy from glucose than traditional fuel engines.
- Less than 50% of glucose's chemical energy is converted to ATP, with FADH2 contributing 2 ATP and NADH contributing 3 ATP.
Mitochondrial Functions
- Coenzyme A functions similarly to a chauffeur, transporting inputs for energy cycles.
- The end products of the citric acid cycle include CO2, NADH, and FADH2 but not pyruvate.
Experimental Insights
- Radioactive carbon will first appear in glucose-6-phosphate during aerobic bacteria metabolism.
- Mitochondrial cristae increase the surface area for more electron transport chains, enhancing ATP production.
Genetic and Biochemical Interactions
- Redox reactions in biochemical pathways highlight the coupling of electron loss and gain.
- NADH plays a crucial role in carrying electrons and is converted into NAD+ during its oxidative phase.
Poison Effects on Respiration
- Rotenone inhibits ATP production in insects by preventing efficient electron transport.
- Cyanide acts as an electron transport blocker, while dinitrophenol disrupts the proton gradient for ATP synthesis.
Key Definitions
- Substrate-level phosphorylation occurs in glycolysis and the citric acid cycle.
- Oxidative phosphorylation yields the majority of ATP during cellular respiration.
- By-products of cellular respiration primarily include carbon dioxide and water.
