Cellular Respiration
Cells harvest energy by breaking bonds and
shifting electrons from one molecule to
another.
– aerobic respiration - final electron acceptor is
oxygen
– anaerobic respiration - final electron acceptor is
inorganic molecule other than oxygen
– fermentation - final electron acceptor is an
organic molecule
ATP
• Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) is the energy
currency of the cell.
– used to drive movement
– used to drive endergonic reactions
ATP
Most of the ATP produced in cells is made by
the enzyme ATP synthase.
– Enzyme is embedded in the membrane and
provides a channel through which protons can
cross the membrane down their concentration
gradient.
•ATP synthesis is achieved by a rotary motor driven by a
gradient of protons.
NAD+ & NADH
• Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, NAD+, is a coenzyme found in all
living cells.
• This reaction forms NADH, which can then be used as a reducing agent
to donate electrons. These electron transfer reactions are the main
function of NAD+.
NAD+ & NADH
The Cellular isms
• Metabolism : is the set of chemical reactions that occur in
living organisms in order to maintain life.
– These processes allow organisms to grow and
reproduce, maintain their structures, and respond to
their environments.
– Usually divided into two categories.
• Catabolism and Anabolism
- Catabolism – breaking down
- Anabolism – building up
The Cellular isms
• Catabolism: the set of metabolic pathways which break
down molecules into smaller units and release energy.
– Large molecules such as polysaccharides, lipids,
nucleic acids and proteins are broken down into
smaller units such as monosaccharides, fatty acids,
nucleotides and amino acids, respectively.
– These processes produce energy
The Cellular isms
• Anabolism: the set of metabolic pathways that construct
molecules from smaller units.
– These reactions require energy.
– Anabolism is powered by catabolism. Many anabolic
processes are powered by adenosine triphosphate
(ATP).
– Anabolic processes tend toward "building up" organs
and tissues.
– These processes produce growth and differentiation of
cells and increase in body size, a process that involves
synthesis of complex molecules.
Glucose Catabolism
• Cells catabolize organic molecules and produce ATP in two
ways:
– substrate-level phosphorylation
– aerobic respiration
•in most organisms, both are combined
– glycolysis
– pyruvate oxidation
– Krebs cycle
– electron transport chain
Aerobic Respiration
Stage One - Glycolysis
• For each molecule of glucose that passes through
glycolysis, the cell nets two ATP molecules.
• Priming
– glucose priming
– cleavage and rearrangement
• Substrate-level phosphorylation
– oxidation
– ATP generation
Priming Reactions
Cleavage Reactions
Energy-Harvesting Reactions
Recycling NADH
• As long as food molecules are available to be
converted into glucose, a cell can produce ATP.
– Continual production creates NADH accumulation
and NAD+ depletion.
•NADH must be recycled into NAD+.
– aerobic respiration
– fermentation
Recycling NADH
Stage Two - Oxidation of Pyruvate
• Within mitochondria, pyruvate is
decarboxylated, yielding acetyl-CoA, NADH,
and CO2.
Entry of Pyruvate into the Mitochondrion
Pyruvate freely diffuses through the outer membrane of mitochon-dria
through the channels formed by transmembrane proteins porins.
Pyruvate
dehydrogenase
complex is giant,
with molecular
mass ranging from
4 to 10 million
daltons.
The two sets of carbons left each gain a hydrogen from NADH.
This turns the two carbon chains into Ethyl Alcohol.

– Bread - Olives/Pickles
– Sauerkraut - Malt
