N.B.: Conversion oftriose Pinto pyruvate occurs in several steps and includes many intermediates such as Glycerate-3-phosphate (G3P). Link Reaction and Krebs Cycle This phase occurs in the matrix of mitochondria. > Link reaction: Pyruvate diffuses into the matrix of mitochondria. Then it is: Decarboxylated by the removal of CO2. Oxidized by the removal of hydrogen. This forms a 2-carbon fragment = Acetyl group. Acetyl group is then combined with small Coenzyme-A forming acetyl-CoA. The productio11 ofAcetyl-CoA from pyruvate is known as the link reaction because it links glycolysis to the upcoming reactions of the Krebs cycle \ NAO ~ + H.. Pyruvale ':::-, > Acetyl CoA CoA CO2 N.B.: we have 2 pyruvates produced from glyccilysis, so all the products are multiplied by 2. So the link reaction produces 2 reduced NAD and 2 CO2 molecules. 5 > Krebs cycle: In this cycle, Acetyl-CoA reacts with · Oxaloacetic acid (4C acid) to fonn Citric acid (6C acid) with release of Coenzyme A, which is reused again in the link reaction. Then the 6C Citric acid is decarboxylated.fonning a SC acid which is also decarboxylated regenerating the 4C Oxaloacetic acid again. This is why it. is considered a cycle. Each tum of the Krebs cycle gives the following products as shown in c.o, the diagram: NliO" 1. 2 molecules of CO2 given off in two separate decarboxylation Nfl!}/1-, II+ reactions 2. 1 molecule of ATP 3. 3 molecules ofreduced NAD 4. 1 molecule ofreduced FAD N.B.: As glucose is broken down into 2 pyruvates in glycolysis, for each glucose molecule · we have 2 turns of the Krebs cycle, they both produce: 4 CO2 molecules 2 ATP (substrate level phosphorylation). 6 reduced NAD 2 reduced FAD A summary for the products of glucose breakdown in glycolysis and Krebs cycle: Step Product...

Anaerobic respiration has two types: "* Alcoholic fermentation: occurs in as in yeast and roots of plants in water logged soil. It produces Ethanol, Carbon dioxide & energy. Glucose -. Ethanol + Carbon dioxide + Energy.,._ Lactic acid fermentation: occurs in mammalian muscle ti~sue. It produces lactic acid & energy. Glucose -.

So the reaction is limited to glycolysis occurring in the cytoplasm and the energy produced in both pathways is limited to the 2 ATPs generated from Glycolysis. In lactic acid fermentation, Pyruvate acts as the final hydrogen acceptor to restore oxidized NAO. This coverts Pyruvate into lactic acid. In alcoholic fermentation, Pyruvate is decarboxylated forming Ethanal then Ethanal acts as hydrogen acceptor to restore oxidized NAD for glycolysis to continue. This converts Ethanal into Ethanol. 9 Importance of Anaerobic respiration In muscles > When oxygen supply fails to meet the oxygen demand of muscles, they respire anaerobically. Although it is inefficient compared to aerobic respiration, but it is rapid and can supply muscles with ATP. > However, lactic acid produced lowers the PH and this can inhibit muscle enzymes causing muscle fatigue & cramps. ) Fate of Lactate: Once oxygen supply is resumed, lactate is converted back into pyruvate that either enters the Krebs cycle to produce energy, C(h & water OR is transported in blood to the liver where it is broken down or stored as Glycogen. > The extra oxygen needed to breakdown lactate is known as Oxygen Debt that is why we continue to breathe fast and deep after strenuous exercise in order to repay the oxygen debt. [Excess Post-Exercise Oxygen Consumption (EPOC)]. ~ N..B. Most of the cellular respiration reactions occur through metabolic pathways. In a metabolic pathway, each step is catalyzed by a different enzyme due to enzyme specificity. The product of each step is the substrate of the next step. Without all enzymes present, the final product is never reached. Enzymes are responsible for lowering the activation energy needed for the reactions to take place.
