Energy and Cellular Metabolism
|
Metabolism:
- Anabolism - Catabolism Dynamic equilibrium - anabolic/catabolic rates are equal |
|
3 Metabolic Pathways...
|
are used by cells to transfer the energy released by catabolism:
* Glycolysis * Krebs Cycle * Oxidative Phosphorylation |
|
Glycolysis
|
* first major pathway in energy metabolism of glucose
* occurs with/without O2 (arobic/anarobic) * occurs in cytosol * it is a series of 10 enzymatic reactions beginning with glucose and ending with pyruvic acid or lactic acid (depending on the availibility of oxygen) * glycolysis yields 2 ATP for each glucose |
|
equation for GLYCOLYSIS
|
Glucose + 2 ADP + 2 Pi + 2 NAD+ --> 2 Pyruvate + 2 ATP + 2 NADH + 2 H2O + 2H+
|
|
What are the ways Pyruvate can proceed?
|
Pyruvate can proceed 2 ways depending on the availibility of o2
... if o2 is availible pyruvate enters the Krebs Cycle ... if o2 is NOT available pyruvate is convertd to LACTATE |
|
How is more energy gained?
|
more energy is gained under aerobic (o2) conditions because 2 more H atoms are available to use for energy transfer (rather than transferring then to lactate)
|
|
Kreb's Cycle
|
* pyruvate must be decarboxylated (releases CO2) and form NADH to enter Kreb's cycle
* the 2 carbon acetyl group remaining is accepted by Coenzyme A * the Cycle is a circular sequence of 8 reactions thaqt occur in the matrix of mitochondria during which: **1. 2 CO2 are formed **2. 4 electrons are transfered to electron-carrier coenzymes (3 to NAD+)(1 to FAD) **3. 1 ATP is formed ** for each acetyl group |
|
Oxidative Phosphorylation
|
* most energy derived
* the energy transferred to ATP is derived from the energy released when hydrogen atoms are oxidized and ultimately form water * OP mediated by proteins called cytochromes * at 5 steps electons are transferred to NAD+ or FAD+ * as electrons are transferred from cytochrome to cytochrome the energy released is used to move hydrogen ions (protons) into mitochondria producing a hydrogen ion gradient and thus potential energy * when these electrons eventually pass to oxygen (oxidative phosphorylation) *** MOST of the ATP is produced o2 + 4e- + 4H+ ----> 2H2O * most energy derived from electron transport is used to phosphorylate ADP to ATP (oxidative phosphorylation) |
|
Oxidative Phosphorylation
equation |
1/2 o2 + NADH + H+ -----> H2O + NAD+ + 53 kcal
|
|
Oxydative Phosphorylation
Steps: |
1. the energy released as electrons are transferred is used to pump H ions into the mitochondria
2. this creates a high concentration of H ions inside mitochondria 3. which cause H ions to flow thru ATPase molecules 4. energy from this flow is used to convert ADP ---> ATP 5. newly formed ATP moves out of mitochondria by facilitated diffusion |
|

|
686 kcal
|
|
formula for catabolism of one mole of glucose

|
1. FORMING chemical bonds (endergonic)
2. BREAKING chemical bonds (exergonic) |
|
Energy is measured in ...

|
Rate of Chemical Reactions
|
1. Concentration of reactants
2. Temperature 3. Activation energy 4. Catalyst |
|
Rate of Chemical Reactions
Equation |
H2CO3 <======> CO2 + H2O + 4Kcal/mol
reactants products energy |
|
Reaction rate changes
|
* as concentration of reactants becomes less
* as concentration of products becomes more |
|
What determines rate/direction of net reaction?
|
Concentration of reactants and products determines rate/direction of net reaction.
|
|
Chemical Equalibrium
|
* when rates of forward and reverse reactions becomes EQUAL and concentrations do not change

Enzymes
|
* proteins
* biological catalysts * react with substrates form products * specific * binds to substrate at ACTIVE SITE on enzyme (complementary shape) * enzymes lower the required activation energy * 90% of proteins in a cell are enzymes * 1,000 - 4,000 enzymes/ animal cell |

Cofactors
|

Cofactors:
Metal Ions |
* Ca++, Mg++, Mn++, Cu++, Zn++
* inorganic * attach to enzyme as part of active site/causing conformational changes in enzyme that allow it to combine with the substrate * allows for better "fit" * sometimes form part of temporary ES complex * activators or inhibitors |
|
Cofactors:
Coenzymes |
* organic molecules derived from water-soluble B vitamins (niacin/riboflavin)
* molecule that directly participates as a substrate in the reaction being catalyzed * catalyze reactions in which atoms (H, CH3, CH3CO) are removed or added to the substrate |
