Catabolic and Anabolic Reactions
 Metabolism: the sum of the chemical reactions in
an organism
 Catabolism: provides energy and building blocks for
anabolism
 Anabolism: uses energy and building blocks to build
large molecules
© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.
Catabolic reaction:
Larger molecule + ADP+ Pi→ ATP + smaller
molecule
Anabolic reaction:
smaller molecule +ATP → ADP + Pi + larger
molecule

Collision Theory
 The collision theory states that chemical reactions
can occur when atoms, ions, and molecules collide
 Activation energy is needed to disrupt electronic
configurations
 Reaction rate is the frequency of collisions with
enough energy to bring about a reaction
 Reaction rate can be increased by enzymes or by
increasing temperature or pressure

Figure 5.11 An Overview of Respiration and Fermentation.
respiration fermentation
Glycolysis produces ATP and reduces
NAD+ to NADH while oxidizing glucose
to pyruvic acid. In respiration, the
pyruvic acid is converted to the first
reactant in the Krebs cycle, acetyl CoA.
The Krebs cycle produces
some ATP by substratelevel phosphorylation,
reduces the electron
carriers NAD+ and FAD, and
gives off CO2. Carriers from
both glycolysis and the
Krebs cycle donate
electrons to the electron
transport chain.
In the electron transport
chain, the energy of the
electrons is used to
produce a great deal of
ATP by oxidative
phosphorylation.

Preparatory Stage of Glycolysis
 2 ATP are used
 Glucose is split to form 2 glucose-3-phosphate
© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.
Figure 5.12, steps 1–5
Figure 5.12 An outline of the reactions of glycolysis (Embden-Meyerhof pathway).
1 Glucose enters the cell and is phosphorylated. A
molecule of ATP is invested. The product is glucose 6-phosphate.
Glucose 6-phosphate
2
2 Glucose 6-phosphate is rearranged to form fructose
6-phosphate.
Fructose 6-phosphate
3 The P from another ATP is used to produce fructose 1,6diphosphate, still a six-carbon compound. (Note the total
investment of two ATP molecules up to this point.)
Fructose 1,6-diphosphate
4 An enzyme cleaves (splits) the sugar into two three-carbon
molecules: dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) and
glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (GP).
Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (GP)
2-phosphoglyceric acid
DHAP is readily converted to GP (the reverse action may also occur).
6 The next enzyme converts each GP to another three-carbon compound,
1,3-diphosphoglyceric acid. Because each DHAP molecule can be
converted to GP and each GP to 1,3-diphosphoglyceric acid, the result is
two molecules of 1,3-diphosphoglyceric acid for each initial molecule of
glucose. GP is oxidized by the transfer of two hydrogen atoms to NAD + to
form NADH. The enzyme couples this reaction with the creation of a highenergy bond between the sugar and a P . The three-carbon sugar now has
two P groups.
1,3-diphosphoglyceric acid
3-phosphoglyceric acid

7
The high-energy P is moved to ADP, forming ATP, the first ATP
production of glycolysis. (Since the sugar splitting in step 4, all products are
doubled. Therefore, this step actually repays the earlier investment of two ATP
molecules.)
8
An enzyme relocates the remaining P of 3-phosphoglyceric acid to
form 2-phosphoglyceric acid in preparation for the next step.
Phosphoenolpyruvic acid (PEP)
© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.
9 By the loss of a water molecule, 2-phosphoglyceric acid is
converted to phosphoenolpyruvic acid (PEP). In the process, the
phosphate bond is upgraded to a high-energy bond.
10 This high-energy P is transferred from PEP to ADP, forming ATP. For
each initial glucose molecule, the result of this step is two molecules of ATP
and two molecules of a three-carbon compound called pyruvic acid.
Energy-Conserving Stage of Glycolysis

Figure 5.13 The Krebs cycle.
1 A turn of the cycle begins
as enzymes strip off the CoA
portion from acetyl CoA and
combine the remaining twocarbon acetyl group with
oxaloacetic acid. Adding the
acetyl group produces the sixcarbon molecule citric acid.
– 8 Enzymes rearrange
chemical bonds, producing three
different molecules before
regenerating oxaloacetic acid. In
step 6, an oxidation produces
FADH2. In step 8, a final oxidation
generates NADH and converts
malic acid to oxaloacetic acid,
which is ready to enter another
round of the Krebs cycle.
6
5 ATP is produced by substratelevel phosphorylation. CoA is
removed from succinyl CoA,
leaving succinic acid.
© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.
2 – 4 Oxidations generate
NADH. Step 2 is a
rearrangement. Steps 3 and 4
combine oxidations and
decarboxylations to dispose of
two carbon atoms that came
from oxaloacetic acid. The
carbons are released as CO2,
and the oxidations generate
NADH from NAD+. During the
second oxidation (step 4), CoA
is added into the cycle,
forming the compound
succinyl CoA.
Cellular Respiration
 An ATP-generating process in which molecules are
oxidized and the final electron acceptor is an
inorganic molecule.
 ATP is generated by oxidative phosphorylation
 2 types of respiration:
aerobic respiration: use O2 as final e acceptor
anaerobic respiration: use inorganic molecule
other than O2
© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.
The Electron Transport Chain
 A series of carrier molecules that are, in turn, oxidized and
reduced as electrons are passed down the chain
 3 classes of e carriers:
(1)flavoproteins: proteins with flavin (FMN)
(2)Cytochromes: proteins with iron, cyt b, cyt c1, cyt c, cyt a, cyt
a3
(3)Coenzyme Q: nonprotein carrier
 Energy released can be used to produce ATP by
chemiosmosis

Chemiosmosis
 As e from NADH pass down e transfer chain, some of carriers
actively transport protons across the membrane (proton
pump)
 A proton gradient is established. Outside membrane
becomes more positive compared with the other side. The
resulting electrochemical gradient called proton motive force.
 Protons across the membrane only through protein channels
that contain ATP synthase. When this flow occurs, energy is
released and used to synthesize ATP

A Summary of Respiration
 Aerobic respiration: the final electron acceptor in
the electron transport chain is molecular oxygen (O2)
 Anaerobic respiration: the final electron acceptor in
the electron transport chain is NOT O2

conditions
