Aerobic respiration
|
nutrients are catabolized to Co2 & H2O. Includes a series of redox rcns. Gluose-oxdzed, oxygen-reduced
|
|
Free energy in respiration
|
Any free energy released is coupled to ATP synthesis
|
|
3 types pf rcns in respiration
|
dehydrogenation, decarboxylation, preparation rcns.
|
|
Dehydrogenation
|
in which 2 hydrogen atoms are removed from substrate & transferred to NAD+ or FAD.
|
|
Decarboxylation
|
Part of a caraboxyl group is removed from the substrate as a molecule of CO2.
|
|
Preparation rcns
|
molecules undergo changes so they can undergo further decarboxylations or dehydrogentations
|
|
Glycolysis (overview)
|
doesn't require oxygen. Consists of 6 carbons and is converted into 2 molecules of pyruvate.Take place in cytosol.
net yield: 2 ATP and 2 NADH. |
|
1st phase of glycolysis
|
"Investment of ATP".
(1)In 2 phosphorylation rcns a phosphate group is transferred from ATP to the sugar. (2)This breaks down into 2 molecules of G3P. |
|
2nd phase of glycolysis
|
Each G3P is converted to pyruvate.
(1) Each G3P is oxidized by the removal of 2 electrons. (2)These electrons combine with NAD+ to make 2 NADH molecules. (3) some ATP forms |
|
Substrate-level phosphorylation
|
Phosphate group is transferred to ADP from phosphorylated intermediate.
|
|
Glycolysis gains and losses
|
-2 ATP invested, 4 produced, net gain: 2
-2 NAD+ molecules invested, 2 NADH molecules produced -4 ATPS produced in substrate-level phosphorylation. -2 pyruvates produced. |
|
Pyruvate is converted to acetyl CoA
|
Pyruvate undergoes oxidative decarboxylation.
(1) a carboxyl group is removed as CO2, which diffuses out of the cell. (2) Then it is oxidized. NAD+ accepts the electrons. (3) this attatches with an acetyl group and coenzyme A to becomes acetyl Coenzyme A. |
|
Citric acid cycle
|
Matrix of mitochondria.
(1) acetyl CoA combines with oxaloacetate to form citrate. (2) Citrate loses 2 carboxyl groups as CO2 (3) oxoacelate is regenerated |
|
for every acetyl group that enters citric cycle...
|
- 3 molecules of NADH
- 1 FADH2 - 1 ATP - 2 CO2 |
|
to metabolize one glucose
|
the citric cycle must turn twice
|
|
Electron transport chain
|
Electrons are passed from one acceptor molecule in redox rcns. Exergonic.
|
|
Oxidative phosphorylation
|
ATP is synthesized using the energy released from oxidation-reduction reactions in an ETC.
|
|
Substrate-level phosphorylation
|
ATP is synthesized using the energy released during an enzyme-catalyzed in which a substrate is converted to a product.
|
|
Electron carriers
|
each exists in an oxidized form or a reduced form. Each e- loses some energy going along the chain.
|
|
Cytochromes in ETC
|
iron-containing proteins that transfer e-.
|
|
O2 in ETC
|
all e- are donated to oxygen and unite with protons to make water.
|
|
deprivation of O2
|
No more ATPs can be produced. ATP in glycolysis isn't enough to sustain life.
|
|
Cyanide
|
Binds to the iron in that last cytochrome, making it unable to transport e- to O2.
|
|
Chemiosmosis
|
Some of the energy produced transporting e- in ETC is used to move protons across a membrane.
|
|
ATP synthase
|
A protein that uses the protons energy to make ATP, when they pass thru this ptotein. Exergonic b/c entropy of system increases.
|
|
NADH and FADH2
|
1 NADH= 3 ATP
1 FADH2= 2 |
|
NADH shuttles
|
these shuttles transfer the e- of NADH to the ETC.
|
|
Net ATP via substrate-level phosphorylation
|
4
|
|
Net ATP via oxidative phosphorylation from NADH during glycolysis
|
4 or 6
|
|
Net ATP via oxidative phosphorylation during pyruvate->coA
|
6
|
|
Net ATP via oxidative phosphorylation of NADH during the citric acid cycle.
|
18
|
|
Net ATP via oxidative phosphprylation of FADH2 during the citric acid cycle
|
4
|
|
Total ATP via oxidative phosphorylation
|
32 or 34
|
|
Fermentation
|
Certain bacteria use this anaerobic pathway which doesn't involve the ETC. Only 2 ATP is formed for every glucose. The pathways whi pyruvate is converted to ethyl alcohol or lactic acid.
|
|
Glycolysis in aneatobic conditions
|
NADH is converted back to NAD and recyled again.
|
