Chapter 5 Cellular Respiration Energy Flow But why?? ATP WORK LIVE Energy Flow The Sun – Ultimate source of ______ Photosynthesis – Captures energy of light – Converts it to chemical energy --> complex organic molecules WHY???? Energy Flow Unstable Transfer Transfer of of Energy Energy Stable What do gasoline and glucose have in common? Abundance of carbon-hydrogen bonds Good source of ______ WHY??? Energy Levels of Electrons of an Atom What kind of bond is a C-H bond? Electrons are equidistant from nuclei. + When electrons move towards atomic nucleus, energy is ________ C-H bonds Electronegativities How do we get the energy that is stored in organic molecules? Oxidize it --> remove electrons Donor is oxidized - lose electrons Acceptor is reduced - gains electrons Reduction-oxidation reactions (REDOX) – Transfer electrons from donor to acceptor atoms What is going to be able to remove the electrons (oxidization)? Oxidizing Agent Higher Electronegativity Redox Reactions Equal Sharing Unequal Sharing High Energy Low Energy Unstable Stable Why? Cellular Respiration Organisms obtain energy by oxidizing organic molecules produced by photosynthesis in a series of reactions Energy released in oxidations is captured in ATP___ Done in series of rxn’s C6H12O6 + 6 O2 + 32 ADP + 32 Pi→ 6 H2O + 6 CO2 + 32 ATP Cellular Respiration is Controlled Combustion YES EFFICIENT ! !!! NOT Same G EFFICIENT ! Different EA !!! Energy Transfer Electrons lose energy as they pass from donor to acceptor molecule Released energy is free energy that can do work In cellular respiration – End result is synthesis of _ATP____ What will carry the energy through this process? Electron Carriers NAD+ Dehydrogenase Fig. 6-6, p. 118 Cellular Respiration: 3 Stages 1. Glycolysis 2. Citric acid cycle 3. Electron transport and chemiosmosis 1. Glycolysis Glucose is converted: – to 2 molecules of pyruvate by oxidizing and removing electrons – From NAD+ to NADH – Through series of enzyme-catalyzed reactions – ATP and NADH is synthesized 2. Citric Acid Cycle Oxidize pyruvate Acetyl coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA) – Enters metabolic cycle – Oxidized completely to carbon dioxide – Synthesis of ATP, NADH and FADH2 3. Electron Transport and Chemiosmosis NADH synthesized by glycolysis and citric acid cycle is oxidized (also FADH2) – Liberated electrons pass along electron transport chain – Electrons transferred to O2 --> water – Free energy establishes proton gradient across membrane – Drives synthesis of _ATP____ Mitochondria Location for most cellular respiration But prokaryotes don’t have mitochondria !!! 1. Glycolysis 10 steps in the cytosol Glucose (6 carbons) is oxidized into two molecules of pyruvate (3 carbons each) Electrons removed are delivered to NAD+ producing NADH Each glucose molecule oxidized produces – 2 ATP – 2 NADH – 2 pyruvate Energy Inputs and Outputs in Glycolysis Glycolysis – Steps 1-3 Energy Input - Consume 2 ATPs Phosphorylation Phosphofructokinase – regulated enzyme Glycolysis – Steps 4-5 Energy Input Splitting - 1 sugar 2 G3P Glycolysis – Steps 6-7 Energy Output Production of 2 ATP by substrate-level phosphorylation Synthesis of 2 NADH by redox reaction Glycolysis – Steps 8-10 Energy Output Production of 2 ATP by substrate-level phosphorylation 2 pyruvates – less potential energy than glucose ATP ATP molecules – Produced in glycolysis – Result from substrate-level phosphorylation Substrate-level phosphorylation – Enzyme-catalyzed reaction – Transfers phosphate group from substrate to ADP ATP Synthesis by Substrate- Level Phosphorylation Same in Citric Acid Cycle Different in Oxidative Phosphorylation and Chemiosmosis ___ ATP Synthase Pyruvate Oxidation DEHYDROGENATION DECARBOXYLATION High Energy Intermediate Pyruvate Oxidation Takes place in mitochondrial matrix Pyruvate oxidized to acetyl groups (2C) Electrons removed are accepted by NAD+ CO2 is produced Pyruvate Oxidation (cont’d) Each pyruvate molecule produces – 1 acetyl group – 1 NADH – 1 CO 2 Acetyl groups attached to coenzyme A – Acetyl-CoA – Delivered to citric acid cycle Summary: Pyruvate Oxidation pyruvate + CoA + NAD+ acetyl-CoA + NADH + H+ + CO2 Based on 1 pyruvate but need to double if based on 1 glucose Pyruvate Oxidation and Citric Acid Cycle Pyruvate Oxidation Citric Acid Cycle 2.
