Cellular Respiration I
Topics Review
Q: In the following metabolic pathway, the reactant A will be converted to E or G. Letters indicate the substrates and products, and numbers for each step indicate the enzymes. The intermediate, C, is substrate to be converted to D and F with equal efficiency by enzymes 3 and 5. If end product G inhibits enzyme 5, what would you expect as the amount of G increases in cell?
A: an increase in the production of E
Lecture Question
Q: How is carbon dioxide produced during the process of respiration?
A: it is produced from Pyruvate Oxidation and the Citric Acid Cycle
Core Concepts
Cellular Respiration is a series of catabolic reactions that convert energy in fuel molecules into ATP
Glycolysis is the partial oxidation of glucose and results in the production of pyruvate, as well as ATP and reduced electron carriers
Pyruvate Oxidation: pyruvate is oxidized to acetyl-CoA, connecting glycolysis to the citric acid cycle
The Citric Acid Cycle results in the complete oxidation of fuel molecules and the generation of ATP and reduced electron carriers
The Electron Transport Chain transfers electrons from electron carriers to oxygen, using the energy released to pump protons and synthesize ATP by oxidation phosphorylation
Cellular Respiration
involves a serious of reactions
a process meant to breakdown carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins
it’s purpose is to convert energy in fuel molecules into ATP
allows cells to work
made up of a serious of catabolic process
has four stages;
Glycolysis → occurs in the cytoplasm and glucose is partially broken down, producing ATP and electron carriers
Pyruvate Oxidation → occurs in the mitochondria matrix and takes the priorly produce pyruvate and converts it to Acetyl CoA
Citric Acid Cycle → occurs in the mitochondria and takes the produced Acetyl CoA to then produce ATP and electron carriers
Oxidative Phosphorylation → occurs in the mitochondria and takes the priorly produced electron carriers which will release their electrons causing the process to produce large amounts of ATP
Generating ATP
ATP can come from multiple sources
small amount of ATP is synthesized in Substrate-Level Phosphorylation → an enzyme/substrate complex is used in a hydrolysis reaction that drives the synthesis of ATP in this process
Oxidation-Reduction Reactions
Oxidation is the loss of electrons → the reducing agent
Reduction is the gain of electrons → the oxidative agent
Glucose Breakdown Reaction;
Glucose will be oxidized = Carbon Dioxide
Oxygen will be reduced = Water
Electron Carriers
NAD+ the oxidized form is FAD
NADH the oxidized form is FADH2
Glycolysis
this process is anabolic
can be divided into 3 phases
begins with a 6-carbon glucose
the end product is Pyruvate x6
Phase I
the phosphorylation of glucose traps the molecule inside the cell and de-stabilizes it for phase 2
starts with a 6-carbon glucose and produces fructose, 1-6 biphosphate
2x ATP are consumed in this phase of the process
Phase II
starts with fructose, 1-6 biphosphate and ends with glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate x2
during the process the fructose is cleaved into two different molecules
Phase III
starts with glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate x2 and produces pyruvate x2
produces NADH x2 and H+ x2
produces ATP x4
Conclusion
Gross ATP: 4
Net ATP: 2
2 NADH
Mitochondria
contains an inner membrane
possess an outer membrane
the space between the inner and outer membranes is the intermembrane space
Acetyl-CoA Synthesis
the pyruvate is transported into the mitochondrial matrix from the cytosol and converted to Acetyl-CoA within the mitochondria
pyruvate is oxidized to form carbon dioxide leaving an acetyl group to then produce Acetyl-CoA
Conclusion
1 NADH
2 Acetyl-CoA → contains carbon x2
consumes 1 Coenzyme A
Citric Acid Cycle
fuel molecules are completely oxidized in this process, which takes place in the mitochondrial matrix as well
Acetyl-CoA is completely oxidized
Conclusion
occurs 2x
Gross ATP:
Net ATP: 2
6 NADH and H+
2 FADH2
4 CO2
consumes 1 H2O
Oxidative Phosphorylation
occurs in the mitochondrial inner membrane
takes the produce electron carriers from the previous cycle and has four complexes
electrons enter through complex I or complex II depending on whether they are NADH or FADH2
NADH enters through complex I
FADH2 enters through complex II
electrons must be transported between the four complexes;
complexes I and II harvest electrons from NADH and FADH2
coenzyme Q is reduced to CoQH2 and transfers electrons from complexes I and II to complex III
cytochrome c moves to complex IV where oxygen is reduced to form water
the transport of electrons in complexes I, III and IV is coupled with the transport of protons across the inner membrane, from the mitochondrial matrix to intermembrane space
ATP synthase uses the electrochemical proton gradient to drive the synthesis of ATP
the proton gradient has two components; a chemical gradient that results from the different concentration of hydrogen ions; and an electrical gradient resulted from the difference in charge between the two side of the membrane
ATP Synthase
the F0 subunit forms a channel that rotates as protons pass through it
the F1 subunit then uses this rotational energy to catalyze the synthesis of ATP
ATP synthase is a molecular machine that is composed of two subunits, F0 and F1
the rotation of the F0 subunit leads to rotation of the F1 subunit in the mitochondrial matrix
the rotation of the F1 subunit causes conformational changes that allow it to catalyze the synthesis of ATP
