RESPIRATION AND
FERMENTATION: AEROBIC
AND ANAEROBIC OXIDATION
OF ORGANIC MOLECULES
Bio 171 – Week 6
Procedure

1)
2)
3)
4)
5)
6)
Label test tubes well, including group name
Add solutions listed to small test tubes
For 1-6, fill remaining volume with yeast suspension; for 7
fill remaining volume with water.
Slide larger test tube over the smaller tubes; hold smaller
tube against the bottom of the larger tube and invert.
There should be no air trapped at the top of the tube. It
may help to practice this with water.
Label test tubes well, including group name
Incubate tubes at 37˚C for 40 minutes.
After 40 minutes, measure the height (in millimeters) of the
bubble of accumulated CO2. Record results in table 12.1
Procedure





Wear gloves – NaF is corrosive and toxic
Shake yeast bottles before using
Absolutely NO eating in lab
Clean benches immediately when done
Rinse test tubes well and put upside-down in rack
near sink.
Cellular Respiration

Cellular Respiration: oxidation of organic molecules
into energy in the form of ATP
 ATP
= Adenosine Triphosphate: organic molecule
containing high-energy phosphate bonds
Cellular Respiration - Summary
C6H12O6 + 6O2



Glucose is oxidized [removes electrons], O2 is reduced
(oxidation-reduction reaction or REDOX)
Remember OIL RIG – Oxidized Is Loss (of electrons) and
Reduction Is Gain)
Remember that adding/removing a hydrogen is a way of
adding/removing an electron


6CO2 + 6H20 + e- + 36-38ATP
One glucose yields 36-38 ATP
Electrons (as H) moved by coenzymes NAD+ and NADH2
Steps of Cellular Respiration




Glycolysis
Prep Reactions
Krebs Cycle
Electron Transport
Chain
Respiration: Glycolysis

Energy Investment Step


Two ATP used to split glucose into two 3-carbon molecules
Energy-Harvesting Step
1) 3-carbon molecules oxidized by NAD+, resulting in two NADHs
 2) Phosphate group added to each.
 3) Substrate-level ATP synthesis or substrate-level phosphorylation:
enzyme passes high-energy phosphate to ADP, and ATP results
(adenosine diphosphate triphosphate (+2 ATP, 3PG (3phosphoglycerate))
 4) 3PG is oxidized by the removal of water (+2H2O, 2 PEP)
 5) Substrate-level ATP synthesis again. (+2 more ATP, 2 pyruvate)
 NET GAIN: 2 ATP, (because we used two in energy investment) +
2 pyruvate.

Respiration: Glycolysis




Glycolysis: “Sugar-splitting” or “Energy investing” step
Occurs in cytoplasm
Requires 2ATP
Glucose split into 2 Pyruvate
Respiration: First Set of Reactions

Glycolysis: “Sugar-splitting” or “Energy investing” step
Occurs in cytoplasm
Requires 2ATP
Glucose split into 2 Pyruvate

Final Products:



2 NET ATP (4 produced, but 2 were used)
 2 NADH
 2 Pyruvate


Citric Acid Cycle





Pyruvate oxidation into acetyl-CoA
One NADH produced
Occurs in matrix of mitochondria
Acetyl-CoA oxidized into two CO2
Produces 1 ATP per turn
Store energy in electron carries such as
NAD+ and FAD+
Electron Transport Chain


Electrons from NADH and FADH2 move
through a series of proteins called the ETC
Potential energy released during these
redox reactions creates proton gradient
across a membrane; flow of protons across
the membrane generates ATP

Anaerobes – organisms that live without oxygen
 Some
use nitrate, sulfate or other inorganic compounds
as electron acceptors instead of oxygen.
 Some use glycolysis reduce the pyruvate
If No Oxygen is Present…





NADH reduces Pyruvate
C6H12O6  2CO2 + 2C2H5OH + ATP
C6H12O6  2CH3CHOHOCOOH + ATP
Occurs in anaerobic organisms (anaerobes)
Occurs temporarily in plants and animals

Roots in anaerobic soils
Animals, some
In muscles for rapid bursts of energy

NADH
NAD+
Lactate
CO2
Ethanol
Advantages/Disadvantages?

Disadvantages:
 Less
ATP produced (2 VS 36/38 in aerobic respiration)
 Produces toxins (lactic acid or ethanol)

Advantages:
 Can
produce ATP without oxygen
 Byproducts used in many foods (economic value)
Back to the lab
Pyruvate: product of glycolysis; reduced to ethanol or
lactic acid during anaerobic fermentation
Magnesium Sulfate (MgSO4): Provides Mg2+ , a
cofactor that activates some enzymes of glycolysis
Sodium fluoride (NaF) – an inhibitor of some enzymes
of glycolysis – inhibits phosphorylation
Glucose – a common organic molecule used as an
energy source for respiration
