Cellular Pathways that Harvest Chemical Energy : Respiration
Energy flow and chemical recycling
Energy For Life
Photosynthesis stores chemical energy into chemical bonds and
Respiration releases the energy stored in the chemical bonds
ATP is the biological currency of Energy
Oxidation and Reduction
Gain of one or more electrons by an atom, ion or molecule is called Reduction
Oxidation and Reduction always occurs together, one material is oxidized (loss E) and other is Reduced (Gain E)
Oxidized and Reduced NAD
Coenzyme NAD is a key electron carrier in the redox Rxn
NAD+ as an electron shuttle
Energy Carrier
Oxidizing agent (NAD) accepts E in the process of oxidizing the reducing agent (AH2 to A). Oxidizing agent (NAD) becomes reduced (NADH).
Reducing agent donates E and becomes Oxidized as it reduces the Oxidizing agent (B to BH2)
Cellular Energy
Pathways
Overview of cellular respiration
Glycolysis and Fermentation
Changes in Free EnergyEach step in glycolysis changes the free energy available
Thus after the step 6 each following steps and metabolites or products will have less energy
First you invest energy then harvest it……
Glycolysis: Glucose to Pyruvate
The energy-investing reactions/phase of Glycolysis
Glycolysis: Glucose to Pyruvate
Energy-harvesting reactions/phase yields ATP and NADH
Pl note that step 5… each molecule is 2 units because 6C are splits into two 3C molecules
Step 6 to 7 is a substrate-level phosphorylation
Substrate-level
phosphorylation
Glu to Pyr
Step 9 to 10 is also a SLP
Glycolysis nets two Molecules of ATP and two Molecules of NADH
4ATP-2ATP=2ATP
In fermentation the net yield is only 2 ATP
Pyruvate Oxidation (Mito)
PDC is a large complex, Pyruvate DH converts Pyruvate to Acetyl CoA, releasing first Carbon dioxide
Pyruvate is Oxidized to acetyl group, E conserved in NADH and some energy is conserved by comining acetyl group to CoA
Pyruvate to acetyl CoA
Citric Acid or TCA Cycle
Acetyl CoA enters the TCA cycle, and CoA regenerated
TCA Cycle
Closer look at TCA cycle
Summary of TCA cycle
Free EnergyTCA cycle releases more energy than Glycolysis or pyruvate reduction
Oxidation of NADH + H+
Resp Chain
Chemiosmotic Mechanism
ATP SynthesisATP synthesis is a reversible reaction and ATP synthase can also act as an ATPase hydrolyzing ATP to ADP
Exergoic Rxn from Et drive the Electrogenic pumping of protons out of Mitochondria into IM space
Pot E of proton gradient has two role, act as channel for protons to diffuse back and it uses E of diffusion to make ATP
Chemi-osmotic
Mechanism
Chemi-osmotic
MechanismCouples ET to the ATP synthesis using ATP synthase using a Proton Gradient
Lactic Acid Fermentation
Alcoholic Fermentation
Cellular Respiration
Theoretical Net ATP yield from the complete oxidation each glucose molecule is 36 ATP, but never in a living system

ATP molecules during cellular respiration
Relationship among the other major Metabolic Pathways
Catabolism of various food molecules
Coupling Metabolic Pathways
OAA and Asp interconverts, is called Transamination
Regul by Negative
and Positive
FeedbackExcess accumulation of some products can shut down their synthesis or stimulate synthesis of other products
Feedback Regulation
Citrate and ATP inhibits PFK thus Glycolysis
ADP and AMP stimulates Glycolysis
Feedback Regulation
ATP and NADH inhibits TCA cycle
Citrate stimulates FA-CoA Rxn
NAD and ADP activated ICDH
ATP and NADH inhibits KGADH
Control of cellular respiration
Energy flow and chemical recycling
SummaryPhotosynthesis places energy into chemical bonds and respiration releases it
Glycolysis, TCA cycle,and ET chain and ATP synthesis
Fermentation of pyruvate to lactate or ethanol
Oxidation reduction reactions
Chemiosmotic synthesis of ATP using a proton gradient
Regulation of Metabolic pathways by positive and negative feedback
Various metabolic pathways inter-communicate with each other
