Electron Transport Chain Takes place in the cristae of mitochondrium Electron acceptors are embedded in the cristae Begins with electron from NADH Reduces flavoprotein Electron is passed to other molecules that have higher electronegativity Reduces new acceptor and donor is oxidated Electron ultimately is accepted by O2 molecule Very high electronegativity For every 2 NADH molecules O2 is reduce to 2H2O Electron Transport 2 Each new acceptor requires that the electron be at a slightly lower energy state Energy is siphoned off of the electrons in small increments The energy is used by the acceptor molecules to change conformation All are proteins except Q (ubiquinone) is lipid Close-up of Cristae Many electron acceptors used released energy to pump an H+ proton into the intermembrane space Gradient of H+ is formed outside of cristaes Fig. 9-16 H+ H+ H+ H+ Protein complex of electron carriers Cyt c V Q ATP synthase FADH2 NADH 2 H+ + 1/2O2 H2O FAD NAD+ ADP + P i (carrying electrons from food) ATP H+ 1 Electron transport chain Oxidative phosphorylation 2 Chemiosmosis Oxidative phosphorylation ATP is actually synthesized by enzyme ATP synthase Hydrogen gradient needs to reach equilibrium Many copies embedded in cristae H+ can only pass through ATP synthase molecule Passage of H+ turns molecule like a water wheel ATP is generated by enzyme action Fig. 9-14 INTERMEMBRANE SPACE H+ Stator Rotor Internal rod Catalytic knob ADP + P i ATP MITOCHONDRIAL MATRIX QuickTime™ and a Sorenson Video decompressor are needed to see this picture. Net ATP Production Glycolysis 2 ATP, Krebs 2 ATP, Electron Transport & oxidative phosphorylation 34 ATP Total of 38 ATP/glucose Fermentation Used when oxygen is not available as electron acceptor Not as efficient as oxidative phosph. In humans, only 2 ATP are produced by fermentation Accumulation of waste molecules Sometimes can be used later as energy source Type of fermentation is known by waste product Types of Fermentation Alcohol fermentation Results in ethanol production Performed by bacteria and fungi Lactic acid fermentation Used by animals Results in lactate formation Causes muscles to ache after workout Anaerobic conditions Fig. 9-18 2 ADP + 2 Pi Glucose 2 ATP Glycolysis 2 Pyruvate 2 NAD+ 2 NADH + 2 H+ 2 CO2 2 Acetaldehyde 2 Ethanol (a) Alcohol fermentation 2 ADP + 2 Pi Glucose 2 ATP Glycolysis 2 NAD+ 2 NADH + 2 H+ 2 Pyruvate 2 Lactate (b) Lactic acid fermentation Why Fermentation Pyruvate is dividing point of two systems If O2 is available pyruvate enters mitochondrium If O2 level is low Pyruvate stays in cytosol and undergoes fermentation Macromolecules and Respiration Many types of macromolecules can be used as a source for respiration Fats and proteins are important They enter pathway at various point Regulation of Respiration Very complex regulation Feedback inhibition of ATP or Citrate can stop early stages of reactions Allows cell to produce ATP when needed
