5 hemiosmosis: The Energy-oupling Mechanism synthase is the enzyme that actually makes Aerobic oxidation of pyruvate and fatty s in mitochondria The proton motive force (pmf) ITERMEMBRAE SAE A rotor within the membrane spins clockwise when flows past it down the gradient. A stator anchored in the membrane holds the knob stationary. A rod (for stalk ) extending into the knob also spins, activating catalytic sites in the knob. i MITDRIAL MATRIX Three catalytic sites in the stationary knob join inorganic hosphate to to make. The outer membrane is freely permeable to all metabolites, but specific transport proteins (colored ovals) in the inner membrane are required to import pyruvate (yellow), (green), and i (purple) into the matrix and to export (green). AD generated in the cytosol is not transported directly to the matrix because the inner membrane is impermeable to AD and AD; instead, a shuttle system (red) transports electrons from cytosolic AD to AD in the matrix. diffuses into the matrix and diffuses out. Stage-1: fatty acyl groups are transferred from fatty acyl oa and transported across the inner membrane via a special carrier (blue oval) and then reattached to oa on the matrix side. is converted to acetyl oa with the formation of AD, and fatty s (attached to oa) are also converted to acetyl oa with formation of AD and FAD. xidation of acetyl oa in the citric generates AD and FAD. Stage-: electrons from these reduced coenzymes are transferred via electron transport complexes (blue boxes) to concomitant with transport of ions from the matrix to the intramembrane space, generating the proton-motive force. Electrons from AD flow directly from complex I to complex III, bypassing complex II. Stage : synthase, the F 0 F 1 complex (orange), harnesses the proton-motive force to synthesize. Blue arrows indicate electron flow; red arrows transmembrane movement of protons; and green arrows indicate transport of metabolites. The phosphate and / transport system in the inner mitochondrial membrane There are three main processes in this metabolic enterprise YTSL Electron shuttles span membrane AD or MITDRI FAD AD AD 6 AD FAD Acetyl oa xidative : electron transport and chemiosmosis about or 4 by substrate-level by substrate-level by oxidative, depending on which shuttle transports electrons from AD in cytosol Maximum per glucose: About 6 or 8 The coordinated action of two antiporters (purple and green) results in the uptake of one - and one 4 - in exchange for one during e - transport. The outer membrane is not shown here because it is permeable to molecules smaller than 5kDa. About 40% of the energy in a glucose molecule is transferred to during cellular respiration, making approximately 8 Fermentation enables some cells to produce without the use of oxygen ellular respiration relies on oxygen to produce In the absence of oxygen cells can still produce through fermentation can produce with or without oxygen, in aerobic or anaerobic conditions couples with fermentation to produce Types of Fermentation ( without the use of oxygen) Fermentation consists of - glycolysis plus reactions that regenerate AD, which can be reused by glyocolysis In alcohol fermentation pyruvate is converted to ethanol in two steps, one of which releases During lactic fermentation pyruvate is reduced directly to AD to form lactate as a waste product Ethanol 1 (a) Alcohol fermentation Lactate AD AD 1 AD AD (b) Lactic fermentation Acetaldehyde 5
