What is the key energy storage molecule and give an example

Glucose




Ex) stored directly as starch (plants) or glycogen (animals)




converted into fat for long term energy storage (animals)

What is the glucose breakdown reaction?



C6H12O6+602---->6CO2+6H2O+ATP+Heat




reverse for photosynthesis reaction

What is photosynthesis reaction?


6CO2+6H2O+light----->C6H12O6+6O2




reversed for Glucose Breakdown

What is the ultimate source of energy?

The sun
How do cells obtain energy?

Cells use glycolysis and cellular respiration to convert glucose into ATP
What is the breakdown of glucose?

Focus of studying cellular energy production




Other molecules (fats, proteins) are converted to glucose or glucose breakdown intermediates use in ATP production.

Glycolysis converts ________ into _____ __________ molecules.
Glucose; two; pyruvate
Where does glycolysis occur?

occurs in the cytosol
What are the two stages of glycolysis?


Energy Investment




Energy Harvesting

What is the energy investment stage?


Energy from 2 ATP's is used to convert glucose into fructose biophosphate




Fructose biophosphate is split into two G3P molecules

What is the energy harvesting stage?

G3P molecules are broken down into pyruvate, and the energy released is captured in ATP and NADH
What is cellular respiration?

captures remaining energy in pyruvate molecules from glycolysis to form additional GTP.
Cellular respiration requires _______ and releases _________ ___________.

requires oxygen and releases carbon dioxide.
Where does cellular respiration occur?
occurs in mitochondria
What are the 3 stages of cellular respiration?


Breakdown of pyruvate




Electron Transport Chain




Chemiosmosis

Where does the Krebs Cycle occur?

occurs in the mitochondrial matrix
What is the Krebs cycle?

Completes the breakdown of pyruvate and stores the energy in 3 different energy carriers: ATP, NADH, and FADH2
What is the breakdown of pyruvate?

1) pyruvate is converted into acetyl-COA


*this produces NADH and releases CO2




2) Krebs Cycle


*Completes breakdown of pyruvate, releasing more CO2 and producing NADH, FADH2, and ATP

What does the electron transport chain do?
converts the energy in NADH and FADH2 into an H+ gradient
Where does the electron transport chain occur?

occurs in the inner mitochondrial membrane
In the electron transport chain NADH and FADH2 donate what?


NADH and FADH2 donate H+ and high energy electrons

What is the energy in the electron transport chain used for?
Energy is used to pump H+ from the matrix to the intermembrane space.
In the electron transport chain oxygen serves as what?
oxygen serves as the final electron acceptor and water is produced.
Without oxygen in the electron transport chain what would happen?
without oxygen, ETC would stop and cells would die from lack of ATP
What is chemiosmosis?

H+ ions flow back into the matrix through ATP synthase.
What does ATP synthase use in chemiosmosis and what does it do?

ATP synthase uses energy of diffusion to generate ATP.
What happens to each glucose molecule in chemiosmosis?
For each glucose molecule, 32 ATP are produced by ATP synthase

ATP produced


*Glycolysis:


*Krebs Cycle:


*ETC:




Total: ______ per glucose

Glycolysis: 2


Krebs Cycle: 2


ETC: 32




Total: 36 per glucose

What is the rate of respiration of ATP Production?

Continuous process




regenerate body weight per day of ATP

What are other energy sources in cellular respiration?

fats and proteins can be used in place of glucose for energy.




Non-glucose molecules are converted to intermediates that enter partway in glycolysis or the Krebs cycle.

The more efficient cellular respiration requires ________?

oxygen?
What happens under anaerobic conditions (i.e. no oxygen)?

Fermentation
Does fermentation produce ATP, if not what happens instead?

no; regenerates NAD+ so that glycolysis can continue.
What are two major types of fermentation?


Lactic Acid Fermentation




Alcoholic Fermentation

What is lactic acid fermentation and give examples?


Pyruvate is converted into lactic acid to regenerate NAD+




Ex) occurs in bacteria that makes yogurt, sour cream, and cheese

________ occurs in muscle cells under low oxygen conditions.



What happens when oxygen returns

Lactic acid fermentation




When oxygen returns, lactic acid is slowly converted back into pyruvate.

What is alcohol fermentation and where does it commonly occur give examples?

pyruvate is converted to ethanol and carbon dioxide regenerate NAD+




occurs commonly in microorganisms, including yeast; used to make bread and alcoholic beverages.

What is the advantage of fermentation?

Allow ATP to be produced in the absence of oxygen
What are the disadvantages of fermentation?


unless it is reversed (i.e. muscles), only 2 ATP can be produced per glucose.




requires greater quantity of food molecules to produce required amounts of ATP.

The metabolic breakdown of glucose generates the greatest amount of ATP during

electron transport

The electron transport chain receives electrons directly from




NADH+FADH2
What is the final electron acceptor in cellular respiration?
Oxygen
Which of the parts of mitochondria are directly involved in the synthesis of ATP during chemiosmosis?
Inner membrane only
If glucose breakdown occurs in anaerobic conditions, pyruvate
is converted by fermentation to lactase or ethanol or ethanol and carbon dioxide
If no oxygen is available, how many ATP can be produced per glucose?

2
No ATP is produced by fermentation alone.

True
Fermentation by human muscle cells produces ethanol and CO2.

False
