In the Calvin cycle, carbon atoms from CO2, in the atmosphere are bonded, or "fixed," into organic compounds. This incorporation of CO2, into organic compounds is called carbon fixation. A total of three CO2, molecules must enter the Calvin cycle to produce each three-carbon sugar that will be used to make the organic compounds.  Technological Institute of the Philippines-QC 938 Aurora Blvd., Cubao, Quezon City Environmental and Sanitary Engineering Department BIO 001|Modern Biology Carbon Photosynthesis- The Calvin Cycle Fixation Auto RuBP Replacement Activation and Reduction Activation Reduction  Technological Institute of the Philippines-QC 938 Aurora Blvd., Cubao, Quezon City Environmental and Sanitary Engineering Department BIO 001|Modern Biology Summary of Photosynthesis Plants are the producers of the biosphere creating the oxygen and glucose needed for most organisms. Chloroplasts are the site of photosynthesis in plants. Chloroplasts contain thylakoids where the light reactions take place. Light reactions convert sunlight into ATP and NADPH. The dark reactions or Calvin Cycle uses ATP and NADPH to convert CO2 into sugar. The light reactions and the dark reactions cooperate to convert light energy into chemical energy housed in glucose. Plants and animals use glucose to power metabolic processes. MODULE 4.1 Cellular Respiration BIO 001– Modern Biology  Technological Institute of the Philippines-QC 938 Aurora Blvd., Cubao, Quezon City Environmental and Sanitary Engineering Department BIO 001|Modern Biology Heterotrophic Metabolism Two basic types of heterotrophic metabolism: 1. Respiration - Requires an external electron acceptor not derived from the organic substrate. 2. Fermentation - is metabolism in which energy is derived from the partial oxidation of an organic compound using organic intermediates as electron donors and electron acceptors  Technological Institute of the Philippines-QC 938 Aurora Blvd., Cubao, Quezon City Environmental and Sanitary Engineering Department BIO 001|Modern Biology Heterotrophic Metabolism  Technological Institute of the Philippines-QC 938 Aurora Blvd., Cubao, Quezon City Environmental and Sanitary Engineering Department BIO 001|Modern Biology Cellular Respiration Two types of Heterotrophic Respiration Aerobic respiration begins with an organic molecule and combines it with oxygen in an oxidation-reduction process that ends with the formation of CO2 and H2O plus a substantial amount of ATP.  Technological Institute of the Philippines-QC 938 Aurora Blvd., Cubao, Quezon City Environmental and Sanitary Engineering Department BIO 001|Modern Biology Cellular Respiration Cellular respiration is the complex process in which cells make adenosine triphosphate (ATP) by breaking down organic compounds. 2 Stages of Cellular Respiration: 1. Glycolysis : Organic compounds are converted into pyruvic acid, producing a small amount of ATP and NADH. (anaerobic process). 2. Aerobic Respiration : Pyruvic acid is broken down and NADH is used to make a large amount of ATP through the process known as aerobic respiration. Pyruvic acid can enter other pathways if there is no oxygen present in the cell's environment. The combination of glycolysis and these Both Autotrophs and heterotrophs produce anaerobic pathways is called fermentation. carbon dioxide and water to cellular respiration  Technological Institute of the Philippines-QC 938 Aurora Blvd., Cubao, Quezon City Environmental and Sanitary Engineering Department BIO 001|Modern Biology Respiratory Metabolism Aerobic respiration begins with an organic molecule and combines it with oxygen in an oxidation-reduction process that ends with the formation of 𝐶𝑂2 and 𝐻2 𝑂 plus a substantial amount of ATP. Example: Aerobic respiration of glucose 3 Phases of Respiratory Metabolism 1. Glycolysis 2. Tricarboxylic Acid Cycle 3. Electron Transport Chain  Technological Institute of the Philippines-QC 938 Aurora Blvd., Cubao, Quezon City Environmental and Sanitary Engineering Department BIO 001|Modern Biology Cellular Respiration Organisms use cellular respiration to harness energy from organic compounds in food. (a) Glycolysis, the first stage of cellular respiration, produces a small amount of ATP. Most of the ATP produced in cellular respiration results from aerobic respiration, which is the second stage of cellular respiration. (b) In some cells, glycolysis may result in fermentation if oxygen is not present  Technological Institute of the Philippines-QC 938 Aurora Blvd., Cubao, Quezon City Environmental and Sanitary Engineering Department BIO 001|Modern Biology Cellular Respiration: Glycolysis Glycolysis is a biochemical pathway in which one six-carbon molecule of glucose is oxidized to produce two three-carbon molecules of pyruvic acid. Like other biochemical pathways, glycolysis is a series of chemical reactions catalyzed by specific enzymes. What happens to the pyruvic acid depends on the type of cell and on whether oxygen is present. Notice that two ATP molecules were used in step 1, but four were produced in step 4. Therefore, glycolysis has a net yield of two ATP molecules for every molecule of glucose that is converted into pyruvic acid.  Technological Institute of the Philippines-QC 938 Aurora Blvd., Cubao, Quezon City Environmental and Sanitary Engineering Department BIO 001|Modern Biology Tricarboxylic Acid (TCA) Cycle [Krebs Cycle] At the end of the TCA cycle, Glycolysis yields two molecules of pyruvic all the carbon has been acid. In aerobic respiration, each molecule of converted to CO2. pyruvic acid reacts with coenzyme A (COA) to TCA plays a central role in form a molecule of acetyl CoA. Notice that the flow of carbon through CO2, NADH, and H+ are also produced in this the cell. reaction It supplies organic precursor molecules to many biosynthetic pathways. Some of the intermediates in the TCA cycle must be resynthesized to maintain TCA cycle activity  Technological Institute of the Philippines-QC 938 Aurora Blvd., Cubao, Quezon City Environmental and Sanitary Engineering Department BIO 001|Modern Biology Electron Transport Chain Electrons are brought to the electron transport chain by NADH. The electron transport chain consists of carriers, including flavoproteins, cytochromes, and ubiquinones. Electrons are passed from one carrier to the next, the energy is used to drive proton pumps. The final electron acceptor is irreversibly reduced; it may be oxygen (aerobic) or another inorganic molecule (anaerobic)  Technological Institute of the Philippines-QC 938 Aurora Blvd., Cubao, Quezon City Environmental and Sanitary Engineering Department BIO 001|Modern Biology Aerobic Respiration The Overall Process of Respiratory Metabolism: A substrate such as glucose is completely oxidized to 𝐶𝑂2 by the combined pathways of glycolysis and the TCA cycle. Electrons removed from the glucose by NAD are fed into the Electron Transport System (ETS) in the membrane. As the electrons traverse the ETS, a Protonmotive force (pmf) becomes established across the membrane. The electrons eventually reduce an outside electron acceptor, O2 , and reduce it to H20. The pmf on the membrane is used by the ATPase enzyme to synthesize ATP by a process referred to as "oxidative phosphorylation".  Technological Institute of the Philippines-QC 938 Aurora Blvd., Cubao, Quezon City Environmental and Sanitary Engineering Department BIO 001|Modern Biology Aerobic Respiration  Technological Institute of the Philippines-QC 938 Aurora Blvd., Cubao, Quezon City Environmental and Sanitary Engineering Department BIO 001|Modern Biology Aerobic Respiration: Net ATP Generation  Technological Institute of the Philippines-QC 938 Aurora Blvd., Cubao, Quezon City Environmental and Sanitary Engineering Department BIO 001|Modern Biology Aerobic Respiration: Net ATP Generation How many ATP molecules are made in cellular respiration? Glycolysis and the Krebs cycle each produce two (2) ATP molecules Furthermore, each NADH molecule that supplies the electron transport chain can generate three ATP molecules, and each FADH, molecule can generate two ATP molecules. Thus, the 10 NADH and two FADH, molecules made through glycolysis, conversion of pyruvic acid to acetyl CoA, and the Krebs cycle can produce up to 34 ATP molecules by the electron transport chain and chemiosmosis. Adding the four ATP molecules from glycolysis and the Krebs cycle gives a maximum yield of 38 ATP molecules per molecule of glucose  Technological Institute of the Philippines-QC 938 Aurora Blvd., Cubao, Quezon City Environmental and Sanitary Engineering Department BIO 001|Modern Biology Fermentation Fermentation is any process that releases energy from sugars or other organic molecules by oxidation, does not require O2, the Krebs cycle, or an electron transport chain, and uses an organic molecule as the final electron acceptor. Fermentation can sometimes occur in the presence of O2 Fermentation produces two ATP molecules by substrate-level phosphorylation. Electrons removed from the substrate reduce NAD+ to NADH.  Technological Institute of the Philippines-QC 938 Aurora Blvd., Cubao, Quezon City Environmental and Sanitary Engineering Department BIO 001|Modern Biology Lactic Acid Fermentation Lactic acid fermentation by microorganisms plays an essential role in the manufacture of many dairy products. Milk will ferment naturally if not refrigerated properly or consumed in a timely manner. Such fermentation of milk is considered "spoiling." In cheese making, fungi or bacteria are added to large vats of milk. The microorganisms carry out lactic acid fermentation, converting some of the sugar in the milk to lactic acid.  Technological Institute of the Philippines-QC 938 Aurora Blvd., Cubao, Quezon City Environmental and Sanitary Engineering Department BIO 001|Modern Biology Alcoholic Fermentation Alcoholic fermentation by yeast cells such as those in Figure 7-7 is the basis of the wine and beer industry. Yeasts are a type of fungi. These microorganisms cannot produce their own food. But supplied with food sources that contain sugar (such as fruits and grains), yeast cells will perform the reactions of fermenta- tion, releasing ethyl alcohol and carbon dioxide in the process. The ethyl alcohol is the 'alcohol' in alcoholic beverages.  THANK YOU Questions? References of photos are still to be indicated.
