Where Does Cellular Respira0on Take Place? glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm Krebs Cycle & ETC Take place in the mitochondria
The source of ATP can be carbohydrate, famy acid OR protein
Cellular Respira0on Breakdown of one glucose results in 36 to 38 ATP molecules Metabolic Pathway that breaks down carbohydrates Process is exergonic as high- energy glucose is broken into CO 2 and H 2 O Process is catabolic because glucose breaks into smaller molecules

Energy metabolism and REDOX reac,ons Metabolism is the sum of all of the chemical reac,ons in an organism: catabolic (breakdown) and anabolic (synthe,c) Respira,on is a catabolic pathway Photosynthesis is an anabolic pathway The two processes are closely linked in plants REDOX (oxida-on- reduc-on) reac-ons play a key role in energy flow through organisms This is because the electrons flowing from one molecule to another are carrying energy with them

Redox reac,ons release energy when electrons fall from a hydrogen carrier to oxygen NADH delivers electrons to a series of electron carriers in an electron transport chain As electrons move from carrier to carrier, their energy is released in small quan,,es Energy released and now available for making ATP ELECTRON CARRIERS of the electron transport chain Electron flow
Two mechanisms generate ATP ATP can be made by transferring phosphate groups from organic molecules to ADP This process is called substrate-level phosphorylation Occurs in cytoplasm (glycoysis) and in matrix of the mitochondrion
Two mechanisms generate ATP 1. Cells use the energy released by falling electrons to pump H + ions across a membrane The energy of the gradient is harnessed to make ATP by the process of chemiosmosis also known as oxida0ve phosphoryla0on Membrane Energy from Electron transport chain ATP synthase ATP synthase uses gradient energy to make ATP High H+ concentration Low H+ concentration Figure 6.7A
Stages of Cellular Respira0on 1. Glycolysis ALWAYS OCCURS 2. Anaerobic pathways if no oxygen available (Lac?c acid and Ethanol fermenta?on) 3. Aerobic pathways if oxygen available (Link reac?on, Krebs cycle, electron transport chain)
Where Does Cellular Respira0on Take Place? glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm Krebs Cycle & ETC Take place in the mitochondria
Glycolysis: Always the ini-al stage of respira-on Loca,on: cytoplasm Substrate: glucose Requires input of 2 ATP Products: pyruvate, (NADH), 4 ATP Glycolysis is an anaerobic process: no oxygen required the movie...
Glycolysis
Summary of glycolysis 1. Occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell 2. Two ATP molecules are used to start the process ( energy investment phase ) 3. A total of 4 ATP s are produced (net gain of 2 ATP) 4. 2 molecules of NADH are produced 5. Involves substrate level phosphoryla,on, lysis, oxida,on and ATP forma,on 6. Controlled by enzymes: when ATP levels in the cell are high, feedback inhibi,on will block the first enzyme in the pathway 7. Produces 2 pyruvate molecules at the end
If no oxygen is available, glycolysis (anaerobic) is followed by fermenta,on (anaerobic)
Why fermenta,on? In the absence of oxygen, glycolysis soon stops unless there is an acceptor for the electrons produced from the glycoly,c pathway
Fermenta0on 1. Alcoholic fermenta0on Pyruvate is converted into ethanol plus carbon dioxide and NAD + 2. Lactate fermenta0on Pyruvate is converted into lactate and NAD +
Alcoholic fermenta,on in yeast
Alcoholic fermenta,on in yeast Pyruvate is produced from glycolysis 3- carbon pyruvate is converted to 2- carbon ethanol and carbon dioxide Genera,on of carbon dioxide helps bread products to rise Yeast is used to produce ethanol
Lactate fermenta,on in mammals Lactate is a 3- carbon molecule NAD + is regenerated to allow glycolysis to con,nue
Aerobic respira,on: Higher level 8.1.4: Explain aerobic respira,on: the Link reac,on, the Krebs cycle, the role of NADH and H +, the electron transport chain and the role of oxygen 8.1.5: Explain oxida,ve phosphoryla,on in terms of chemiosmosis
Aerobic respira,on Takes place in the mitochondria of eukaryo,c cells Substrate: pyruvate Produces LOTS of ATP (28 38 ATP): 90% of total ATP from respira0on Also produces carbon dioxide, water and heat Oxygen is the final electron acceptor
Aerobic respira,on 2 pyruvate molecules enter the mitochondrion Pyruvate loses a CO 2 molecule and becomes acetyl CoA Krebs cycle produces 2 ATP, 4 CO 2, 6 NADH and 3 FADH 2 Electron transport chain produces 34 ATP and water Aerobic respira,on completely oxidises glucose Anaerobic respira,on does not completely oxidise glucose ethanol, lactate and carbon dioxide are by- products

The Link Reac,on Steps 2 in aerobic respira,on (step 1 is glycolysis in the cytoplasm) ASer glycolysis, when there is ample oxygen 2 pyruvate molecules from glycolysis move into the matrix of the mitochondrion for the Link reac,on and the Krebs cycle
Matrix Link Reac,on 2 Krebs Cycle 2
The Link reac,on The link reac?on converts pyruvate (3C) into acetyl Coenzyme A (2C), producing carbon dioxide and NADH in the process
The Krebs Cycle (Citric Acid/TCA cycle) Krebs: The walk- through... Krebs: the movie The 2C acetyl Coenzyme A enters the Krebs cycle It joins oxaloacetate (4C) to form citrate (6C). Two carbon atoms are then lost as carbon dioxide and the cycle repeats. Hydrogen is released during this cycle to reduce the coenzymes NAD + and FAD to 3 NADH and 1 FADH 2 for each cycle ATP is also released
Krebs cycle turns TWICE for each molecule of glucose Each molecule of glucose produces 2 pyruvates in glycolysis Leading to 2 acetyl CoA molecules in the link reac,on

Chemiosmosis Defini,on: movement of ions across a semi- permeable membrane, down their concentra-on gradient In respira,on, chemiosmosis refers to movement of protons (hydrogen ions) down their concentra,on gradient through ATP synthase, which powers ATP synthesis

Chemiosmosis powers most ATP production The electrons from NADH and FADH 2 travel down the electron transport chain to oxygen Energy released by the electrons is used to pump H + (protons) into the space between the mitochondrial membranes In chemiosmosis, the H + ions diffuse back through the inner membrane through ATP synthase, which capture the energy to make ATP
