Introduction
 In eukaryotes, cellular respiration
– harvests energy from food,
– yields large amounts of ATP, and
– Uses ATP to drive cellular work.
 A similar process takes place in many prokaryotic
organisms.

6.1 Photosynthesis and cellular respiration
provide energy for life
 Life requires energy.
 In almost all ecosystems, energy ultimately comes
from the sun.
 In photosynthesis,
– some of the energy in sunlight is captured by
chloroplasts,
– atoms of carbon dioxide and water are rearranged, and
– glucose and oxygen are produced.

6.1 Photosynthesis and cellular respiration
provide energy for life
 In cellular respiration
– glucose is broken down to carbon dioxide and water
and
– the cell captures some of the released energy to make
ATP.
 Cellular respiration takes place in the mitochondria
of eukaryotic cells.

6.2 Breathing supplies O2 for use in cellular
respiration and removes CO2
 Respiration, as it relates to breathing, and cellular
respiration are not the same.
– Respiration, in the breathing sense, refers to an
exchange of gases. Usually an organism brings in
oxygen from the environment and releases waste CO2.
– Cellular respiration is the aerobic (oxygen requiring)
harvesting of energy from food molecules by cells.

6.3 Cellular respiration banks energy in ATP
molecules
 Cellular respiration is an exergonic process that
transfers energy from the bonds in glucose to form
ATP.
 Cellular respiration
– produces up to 32 ATP molecules from each glucose
molecule and
– captures only about 34% of the energy originally stored
in glucose.
 Other foods (organic molecules) can also be used
as a source of energy.

6.4 CONNECTION: The human body uses energy
from ATP for all its activities
 The average adult human needs about 2,200 kcal
of energy per day.
– About 75% of these calories are used to maintain a
healthy body.
– The remaining 25% is used to power physical activities.

6.4 CONNECTION: The human body uses energy
from ATP for all its activities
 A kilocalorie (kcal) is
– the quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of
1 kilogram (kg) of water by 1oC,
– the same as a food Calorie, and
– used to measure the nutritional values indicated on food
labels.

6.5 Cells tap energy from electrons “falling”
from organic fuels to oxygen
 The energy necessary for life is contained in the
arrangement of electrons in chemical bonds in
organic molecules.
 An important question is how do cells extract this
energy?
© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.
6.5 Cells tap energy from electrons “falling”
from organic fuels to oxygen
 When the carbon-hydrogen bonds of glucose are
broken, electrons are transferred to oxygen.
– Oxygen has a strong tendency to attract electrons.
– An electron loses potential energy when it “falls” to
oxygen.
© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.
6.5 Cells tap energy from electrons “falling”
from organic fuels to oxygen
 Energy can be released from glucose by simply
burning it.
 The energy is dissipated as heat and light and is
not available to living organisms.
© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.
6.5 Cells tap energy from electrons “falling”
from organic fuels to oxygen
 On the other hand, cellular respiration is the
controlled breakdown of organic molecules.
 Energy is
– gradually released in small amounts,
– captured by a biological system, and
– stored in ATP.
© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.
6.5 Cells tap energy from electrons “falling”
from organic fuels to oxygen
 The movement of electrons from one molecule to
another is an oxidation-reduction reaction, or
redox reaction. In a redox reaction,
– the loss of electrons from one substance is called
oxidation,
– the addition of electrons to another substance is called
reduction,
– a molecule is oxidized when it loses one or more
electrons, and
– reduced when it gains one or more electrons.
© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.
6.5 Cells tap energy from electrons “falling”
from organic fuels to oxygen
 A cellular respiration equation is helpful to show
the changes in hydrogen atom distribution.
 Glucose
– loses its hydrogen atoms and
– becomes oxidized to CO2.
 Oxygen
– gains hydrogen atoms and
– becomes reduced to H2O.

 There are other electron “carrier” molecules that
function like NAD+.
– They form a staircase where the electrons pass from
one to the next down the staircase.
– These electron carriers collectively are called the
electron transport chain.
– As electrons are transported down the chain, ATP is
generated.

6.6 Overview: Cellular respiration occurs in
three main stages
 Cellular respiration consists of a sequence of steps
that can be divided into three stages.
– Stage 1 – Glycolysis
– Stage 2 – Pyruvate oxidation and citric acid cycle
– Stage 3 – Oxidative phosphorylation
© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.
6.6 Overview: Cellular respiration occurs in
three main stages
 Stage 1: Glycolysis
– occurs in the cytoplasm,
– begins cellular respiration, and
– breaks down glucose into two molecules of a threecarbon compound called pyruvate.
© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.
6.6 Overview: Cellular respiration occurs in
three main stages
 Stage 2: The citric acid cycle
– takes place in mitochondria,
– oxidizes pyruvate to a two-carbon compound, and
– supplies the third stage with electrons.
© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.
6.6 Overview: Cellular respiration occurs in
three main stages
 Stage 3: Oxidative phosphorylation
– involves electrons carried by NADH and FADH2,
– shuttles these electrons to the electron transport chain
embedded in the inner mitochondrial membrane,
– involves chemiosmosis, and
– generates ATP through oxidative phosphorylation
associated with chemiosmosis.

6.7 Glycolysis harvests chemical energy by
oxidizing glucose to pyruvate
 In glycolysis,
– a single molecule of glucose is enzymatically cut in half
through a series of steps,
– two molecules of pyruvate are produced,
– two molecules of NAD+ are reduced to two molecules of
NADH, and
– a net of two molecules of ATP is produced.

6.7 Glycolysis harvests chemical energy by
oxidizing glucose to pyruvate
 ATP is formed in glycolysis by substrate-level
phosphorylation during which
– an enzyme transfers a phosphate group from a
substrate molecule to ADP and
– ATP is formed.
 The compounds that form between the initial
reactant, glucose, and the final product, pyruvate,
are called intermediates.

6.7 Glycolysis harvests chemical energy by
oxidizing glucose to pyruvate
 The steps of glycolysis can be grouped into two
main phases.
– In steps 1–4, the energy investment phase,
– energy is consumed as two ATP molecules are used to
energize a glucose molecule,
– which is then split into two small sugars that are now primed
to release energy.
– In steps 5–9, the energy payoff,
– two NADH molecules are produced for each initial glucose
molecule and
– ATP molecules are generated.

from the cytoplasm into a mitochondrion where
– the citric acid cycle and
– oxidative phosphorylation will occur.

6.8 Pyruvate is oxidized prior to the citric acid
cycle
 Two molecules of pyruvate are produced for each
molecule of glucose that enters glycolysis.
 Pyruvate does not enter the citric acid cycle, but
undergoes some chemical grooming in which
– a carboxyl group is removed and given off as CO2,
– the two-carbon compound remaining is oxidized while a
molecule of NAD+ is reduced to NADH,
– coenzyme A joins with the two-carbon group to form
acetyl coenzyme A, abbreviated as acetyl CoA, and
– acetyl CoA enters the citric acid cycle.

6.9 The citric acid cycle completes the oxidation of
organic molecules, generating many NADH
and FADH2 molecules
 The citric acid cycle
– is also called the Krebs cycle (after the German-British
researcher Hans Krebs, who worked out much of this
pathway in the 1930s),
– completes the oxidation of organic molecules, and
– generates many NADH and FADH2 molecules.

 During the citric acid cycle
– the two-carbon group of acetyl CoA is added to a fourcarbon compound, forming citrate,
– citrate is degraded back to the four-carbon compound,
– two CO2 are released, and
– 1 ATP, 3 NADH, and 1 FADH2 are produced.

6.9 The citric acid cycle completes the oxidation of
organic molecules, generating many NADH

 Remember that the citric acid cycle processes two
molecules of acetyl CoA for each initial glucose.
 Thus, after two turns of the citric acid cycle, the
overall yield per glucose molecule is
– 2 ATP,
– 6 NADH, and
– 2 FADH2.

6.10 Most ATP production occurs by oxidative
phosphorylation
 Electrons from NADH and FADH2 travel down the
electron transport chain to O2.
 Oxygen picks up H+ to form water.
 Energy released by these redox reactions is used
to pump H+ from the mitochondrial matrix into the
intermembrane space.
 In chemiosmosis, the H+ diffuses back across the
inner membrane through ATP synthase
complexes, driving the synthesis of ATP.

6.11 CONNECTION: Interrupting cellular respiration
can have both harmful and beneficial effects
 Three categories of cellular poisons obstruct the
process of oxidative phosphorylation. These
poisons
1. block the electron transport chain (for example,
rotenone, cyanide, and carbon monoxide),
2. inhibit ATP synthase (for example, the antibiotic
oligomycin), or
3. make the membrane leaky to hydrogen ions (called
uncouplers, examples include dinitrophenol).

6.11 CONNECTION: Interrupting cellular respiration
can have both harmful and beneficial effects
 In brown fat,
– the cells are packed full of mitochondria,
– the inner mitochondrial membrane contains an
uncoupling protein, which allows H+ to flow back down
its concentration gradient without generating ATP, and
– ongoing oxidation of stored fats generates additional
heat.

6.12 Review: Each molecule of glucose yields
many molecules of ATP
 Recall that the energy payoff of cellular respiration
involves
1. glycolysis,
2. alteration of pyruvate,
3. the citric acid cycle, and
4. oxidative phosphorylation.
© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.
6.12 Review: Each molecule of glucose yields
many molecules of ATP
 The total yield is about 32 ATP molecules per
glucose molecule.
 This is about 34% of the potential energy of a
glucose molecule.
 In addition, water and CO2 are produced.

6.13 Fermentation enables cells to produce ATP
without oxygen
 Fermentation is a way of harvesting chemical energy
that does not require oxygen. Fermentation
– takes advantage of glycolysis,
– produces two ATP molecules per glucose, and
– reduces NAD+ to NADH.
 The trick of fermentation is to provide an anaerobic
path for recycling NADH back to NAD+.
© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.
6.13 Fermentation enables cells to produce ATP
without oxygen
 Your muscle cells and certain bacteria can oxidize
NADH through lactic acid fermentation, in which
– NADH is oxidized to NAD+ and
– pyruvate is reduced to lactate.

6.14 EVOLUTION CONNECTION: Glycolysis
evolved early in the history of life on Earth
 Glycolysis is the universal energy-harvesting
process of life.
 The role of glycolysis in fermentation and
respiration dates back to
– life long before oxygen was present,
– when only prokaryotes inhabited the Earth,
– about 3.5 billion years ago.

6.15 Cells use many kinds of organic molecules
as fuel for cellular respiration
 Although glucose is considered to be the primary
source of sugar for respiration and fermentation,
ATP is generated using
– carbohydrates,
– fats, and
– proteins.

6.15 Cells use many kinds of organic molecules
as fuel for cellular respiration
 Fats make excellent cellular fuel because they
– contain many hydrogen atoms and thus many energyrich electrons and
– yield more than twice as much ATP per gram than a
gram of carbohydrate or protein.
