 Oxidative phosphorylation accounts for almost 90%
of the ATP generated by cellular respiration
 This process involves the transfer of inorganic
phosphates to ADP
© 2017 Pearson Education, Ltd.
 A smaller amount of ATP is formed in glycolysis and
the citric acid cycle by substrate-level
phosphorylation
 In this process, an enzyme transfers a phosphate
group directly from a substrate molecule to ADP
© 2017 Pearson Education, Ltd.
 For each molecule of glucose degraded to CO2 and
water by respiration, the cell makes up to 32
molecules of ATP

Concept 7.2: Glycolysis harvests chemical energy by
oxidizing glucose to pyruvate
 Glycolysis (“sugar splitting”) breaks down glucose
into two molecules of pyruvate
 Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm and has two
major phases
 Energy investment phase
 Energy payoff phase
 The net energy yield is 2 ATP plus 2 NADH per
glucose molecule
 Glycolysis occurs whether or not O2 is present

Concept 7.3: After pyruvate is oxidized, the citric
acid cycle completes the energy-yielding oxidation
of organic molecules
 In the presence of O2, pyruvate enters the
mitochondrion (in eukaryotic cells), where the
oxidation of glucose is completed
 Before the citric acid cycle can begin, pyruvate must
be converted to acetyl coenzyme A (acetyl CoA),
which links glycolysis to the citric acid cycle

 The citric acid cycle, also called the Krebs cycle,
completes the breakdown of pyruvate to CO2
 The cycle oxidizes organic fuel derived from
pyruvate, generating 1 ATP, 3 NADH, and 1 FADH2
per turn
© 2017 Pearson Education, Ltd.
 The citric acid cycle has eight steps, each catalyzed
by a specific enzyme
 The acetyl group of acetyl CoA joins the cycle by
combining with oxaloacetate, forming citrate
 The next seven steps decompose the citrate back to
oxaloacetate, making the process a cycle
 The NADH and FADH2 produced by the cycle relay
electrons extracted from food to the electron
transport chain

Concept 7.4: During oxidative phosphorylation,
chemiosmosis couples electron transport to ATP
synthesis
 Following glycolysis and the citric acid cycle, NADH
and FADH2 account for most of the energy
extracted from food
 These two electron carriers donate electrons to the
electron transport chain, which powers ATP
synthesis via oxidative phosphorylation
© 2017 Pearson Education, Ltd.
The Pathway of Electron Transport
 The electron transport chain is located in the inner
membrane (cristae) of the mitochondrion
 Most of the chain’s components are proteins, which
exist in multiprotein complexes
 The carriers alternate reduced and oxidized states
as they accept and donate electrons
 Electrons drop in free energy as they go down the
chain and are finally passed to O2, forming H2O
© 2017 Pearson Education, Ltd.
 Electrons are transferred from NADH or FADH2 to
the electron transport chain
 Electrons are passed through a number of proteins
including cytochromes (each with an iron atom)
to O2
 The electron transport chain generates no ATP
directly
 It breaks the large free-energy drop from food to O2
into smaller steps that release energy in
manageable amounts

Chemiosmosis: The Energy-Coupling Mechanism
 Electron transfer in the electron transport chain
causes proteins to pump H+ from the mitochondrial
matrix to the intermembrane space
 H+ then moves back across the membrane, passing
through the protein complex, ATP synthase
 ATP synthase uses the exergonic flow of H+ to drive
phosphorylation of ATP
 This is an example of chemiosmosis, the use of
energy in a H+ gradient to drive cellular work

An Accounting of ATP Production by Cellular
Respiration
 During cellular respiration, most energy flows in the
following sequence:
glucose  NADH  electron transport chain  protonmotive force  ATP
 About 34% of the energy in a glucose molecule is
transferred to ATP during cellular respiration,
making about 32 ATP
 There are several reasons why the number of ATP
molecules is not known exactly

Concept 7.5: Fermentation and anaerobic
respiration enable cells to produce ATP without the
use of oxygen
 Most cellular respiration requires O2 to produce ATP
 Without O2, the electron transport chain will cease
to operate
 In that case, glycolysis couples with fermentation or
anaerobic respiration to produce ATP
© 2017 Pearson Education, Ltd.
 Anaerobic respiration uses an electron transport
chain with a final electron acceptor other than O2,
for example, sulfate
 Fermentation uses substrate-level phosphorylation
instead of an electron transport chain to generate
ATP
© 2017 Pearson Education, Ltd.
Types of Fermentation
 Fermentation consists of glycolysis plus reactions
that regenerate NAD+, which can be reused by
glycolysis
 Two common types are alcohol fermentation and
lactic acid fermentation
© 2017 Pearson Education, Ltd.
 In alcohol fermentation, pyruvate is converted to
ethanol in two steps
 The first step releases CO2 from pyruvate, and the
second step reduces the resulting acetaldehyde to
ethanol
 Alcohol fermentation by yeast is used in brewing,
winemaking, and baking

Comparing Fermentation with Anaerobic and
Aerobic Respiration
 All use glycolysis (net ATP = 2) to oxidize glucose
and other organic fuels to pyruvate
 In all three, NAD+ is the oxidizing agent that accepts
electrons from food during glycolysis
 The mechanism of NADH oxidation differs
 In fermentation the final electron acceptor is an
organic molecule such as pyruvate or acetaldehyde
 Cellular respiration transfers electrons from NADH to
a carrier molecule in the electron transport chain
© 2017 Pearson Education, Ltd.
 Cellular respiration produces about 32 ATP per
glucose molecule; fermentation produces 2 ATP per
glucose molecule
© 2017 Pearson Education, Ltd.
 Obligate anaerobes carry out only fermentation or
anaerobic respiration and cannot survive in the
presence of O2
 Yeast and many bacteria are facultative
anaerobes, meaning that they can survive using
either fermentation or cellular respiration
 In a facultative anaerobe, pyruvate is a fork in the
metabolic road that leads to two alternative
catabolic routes

The Evolutionary Significance of Glycolysis
 Glycolysis is the most common metabolic pathway
among organisms on Earth, indicating that it
evolved early in the history of life
 Early prokaryotes may have generated ATP
exclusively through glycolysis due to the low oxygen
content in the atmosphere
 The location of glycolysis in the cytosol also
indicates its ancient origins; eukaryotic cells with
mitochondria evolved much later than prokaryotic
cells
© 2017 Pearson Education, Ltd.
Concept 7.6: Glycolysis and the citric acid cycle
connect to many other metabolic pathways
 Glycolysis and the citric acid cycle are major
intersections to various catabolic and anabolic
pathways
© 2017 Pearson Education, Ltd.
The Versatility of Catabolism
 Catabolic pathways funnel electrons from many
kinds of organic molecules into cellular respiration
 Glycolysis accepts a wide range of carbohydrates
 Proteins must be digested to amino acids and
amino groups must be removed before amino acids
can feed glycolysis or the citric acid cycle
© 2017 Pearson Education, Ltd.
 Fats are digested to glycerol (used in glycolysis)
and fatty acids
 Fatty acids are broken down by beta oxidation and
yield acetyl CoA
 An oxidized gram of fat produces more than twice
as much ATP as an oxidized gram of carbohydrate

 The body uses small molecules to build other
substances
 Some of these small molecules come directly from
food; others can be produced during glycolysis or
the citric acid cycle
