BIOLOGY - 12 Advanced UNIT–1 : Biological energetics • Introduction : Organic compounds store potential energy. With the help of enzymes a cell systematically breaks-down complex organic molecules ( E ↑ ) to simpler substances ( E↓ ) Some of energy released can be used to do work. The rest ( most ) lost as heat. Complex org. molec. ( E ↑ ) Systematic breaking-down Cellular activities energy Heat simple substances ( E↓ ) Mitochondria Respiration • Respiration : breaking-down of food molecules to produce energy. • There are two types of respiration : Aerobic respiration Anaerobic respiration Breaking-down of food molecules In the presence of oxygen to produce energy Breaking-down of food molecules in the absence of oxygen to produce energy Glucose + oxygen carbon dioxide + water + energy C6H12O6 + O2 6CO2 + 6 H2O + 38 ATP Glucose lactic acid + energy C6H12O6 2 C3H5O3 + energy Glucose alcohol + CO2 + energy C6H12O6 2 C2H5OH + 2 CO2 + energy Respiration Compare between aerobic and anaerobic respiration. Type of respiration Oxygen Oxidation of glucose Energy yield Products Aerobic Anaerobic With Without Complete Incomplete High Low CO2 and H2O Lactic acid or alcohol + CO2 Respiration • Energy produced in respiration can be used in : 1. Muscle working. 2. Active transport. 3. Nerve impulses. 4. Biosynthesis. 5. Keeping body temperature constant. • BUT remember that : not all energy is used up a lot is lost as heat. Respiration • Compare respiration with combustion : Respiration Combustion Inside the cell Outside the cell Enzyme regulated No enzymes Energy produced step-by-step Energy produced at once Slow Fast Anaerobic respiration • Occur in the absence of O2. • Occur totally in cytoplasm. • The cell is incompletely oxidize glucose. • Produce little amount of energy ( 2 ATP ) so most of the energy remains in the organic molecule. • • It is a 2 stages process : 1. Glycolysis. 2. Regeneration of NAD+. Two types : 1. Lactic acid fermentation ( in animals ). 2. Alcoholic fermentation ( in plants ). Anaerobic resp. • Note : only the first stage of anaerobic resp. produces ATP, so what is the importance of the second stage? • [ If the supply of NAD stops anaerobic respiration stops ] The second step Regenerate NAD from NADH by reduction of pyruvate. so production of ATP continue. GLYCOLYSIS Glucose Regeneration of NAD NAD NADH ATP Pyruvic acid Lactic acid Lactic acid fermentation • Why does the athlete breathe heavily for several minutes after the race? During the rapid exercise the body can`t supply enough oxygen to the muscle. ( developing oxygen dept ) So, the muscle begin to produce ATP by lactic acid fermentation. Building of lactic acid cause a painful sensation. • What is the fate of lactic acid? Oxidised by liver. ATP structure and function ATP ( Adenosine triphosphate ) - A nucleotide. Acts as an energy currency of the cell. - ( intermediary molecule between energy producing and energy consuming reactions ) Structure : 1. Adenine base. 2. Ribose sugar. 3. Three phosphate groups. - How does ATP synthasize in respiration? 1. Substrate level phosphorylation ( in glycolysis & krebs cycle ) 2. Oxidative level phosphorylation ( in electron transport chain ) Aerobic respiration 1. Glycolysis • Occur in the cytoplasm of all living organisms. • No need for oxygen. • Glucose is broken down into two pyruvates. • This process consists of three stages: Glycolysis Activation stage Glucose C C C C C C ATP ADP C C C C C C P Glucose phosphate C C C C C C P Fructose phosphate P Fructose-1,6-diphosphate ATP ADP P C C C C C C Splitting stage PGAl P C C C NAD NAD ADP ATP Oxidation anf rearrangement ADP NADH NADH C C C C C C P Pyruvate ATP C C C Glycolysis 1. Glucose molecule activated by 2 ATP to form hexose diphosphate. 2. The hexose diphosphate split into 2 triose phosphate. 3. The trioses oxidised in energy yielding phase to produce 2 pyruvate. 4. 4 ATP and 2 NADH2 produced 2 Pyruvate Glucose 2 ATP ( 4 - 2 ) 2 NADH2 The link reaction In the presence of oxygen pyruvic acid enters the matrix of mitochonderia and three things happen : 1. Decarboxylation : CO2 molecule removed from the pyruvic acid. 2. Dehydrogenation : hydrogen removed and transferred to NAD+ to form NADH.H+. 3. The resulting acetate ( 2C ) combines with coenzyme A ( CoA ) forming : acetyle CoA which enters the krebs cycle. CO2 Pyruvate ( 3C ) NAD+ NADH.H+ CoA Acetyle CoA ( 2C ) Remember : - 2 pyruvate molecules are formed from each glucose molecule. - So, the reaction happen twice and 2 Acetyle CoA resulted with 2 NADH.H+ Krebs cycle It takes place in the matrix of mitochondria and includes the following reactions : 1. Acetyle CoA combine oxaloacetate ( 4C ) to form 6C compound ( citrate ). • A series of reactions takes place where the citrate both decarboxylated and dehydrogenated. – CO2 is released as waste product. – Hydrogen is picked up by 2 electron acceptors ( NAD & FAD ) • As a result the oxaloacetate is regenerated to combine with more acetyl CoA. Krebs cycle Krebs cycle For each 1 turn of Krebs cycle : For each 2 turns of Krebs cycle : - 3 NADH.H+ produced. - 6 NADH.H+ produced. - 1 FADH2 produced. - 2 FADH2 produced. - 1 ATP molecule produced. - 2 ATP molecule produced. - 2 CO2 molecules released. - 4 CO2 molecules released. Electron transport chain Where does the energy that was in the glucose molecule has gone? - Most is still in the reduced coenzymes ( NADH, FADH ) - Only 4 ATP molecules produced directly ( by substrate level phosphorylation ) from 1 glucose molecule ( 2 from glycolysis + 2 from krebs cycle ) What is the final stage of aerobic respiration? What is its importance? electron transport chain ( e.t.c. ) importance : - couples the transport of electrons with the production of ATP - most of ATP is produced during this stage by oxidative phosphorylation Electron transport chain Where in the cell does e.t.c. occur? in the cristae of the inner membrane of mitochondria. Components of the e.t.c. : - group of carrier proteins ( cytochromes ) - ATP synthase protein. Cytochrome complexes Electron transport chain How does the mitochondria couple the transport of electrons with ATP synthesis? ( CHEMIOSMOSIS ) - High energy electrons from NADH and FADH2 are passed to e.t.c. - These electrons are passed from carrier protein to the next . - At the end of the chain there is an enzyme that combine these electrons with H+ and oxygen to form water. - As the electrons passes along the chain, they lose most of their energy. - This energy is used to pump hydrogen ions across the inner membrane ( from the matrix to the intermembrane space ). - H+ gradient is created across the inner membrane. - H+ diffuses down the proton gradient through the ATP synthase protein. - The diffusion of H+ drives the phosphorylation of ADP to ATP Chemiosmosis Electron transport chain How many ATP molecules produced for each : - 1 NADH 3 ATP - 1 FADH2 2 ATP What is the function of oxygen in respiration? oxygen serves as the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain. so oxygen is essential for getting rid of low-energy electrons and hydrogen ions, the wastes of cellular respiration. What is the importance of e.t.c.? 1. release energy from NADH and FADH2 to be stored ( temporary ) in ATP. 1. Regenerate NAD and FAD so that the process of respiration proceeds from glycolysis to link-reaction and krebs cycle. Why does the an aerobic respiration stops after glycolysis ? ? ! !

Burn the food to give-out energy. 28.5 2. Use energy to heat-up water. 3. The hottest water the more energy content. 3.5 g RESULTS mass of peanut ( g ) Temp. of water ( start ) Temp. of water ( end ) Temp. rise Of water 3.5 28.5 65.0 ?? Calculations : Temperature rise ( ΔT ) = end temp. – start temp. = 65 - 28.5 = 36.5 C Energy ( J ) = temperature rise X 20 X 4.2 = 36.5 X 20 X 4.2 = 3066 J Energy content ( J/g ) = energy give ( J ) / weight of peanut ( g ) = 3066 / 3.5 = 876 J/g = 0.876 kJ/g
