Cellular Respiration: Energy for Life! A. Introduction Living is work. To perform their many tasks, cells require transfusions of energy from outside sources. In most ecosystems, energy enters as sunlight which is trapped and converted to organic molecules by photosynthesis. Respiration converts the energy of organic molecules into usable energy (ATP). There are two types of metabolic pathways that release the energy stored in complex organic molecules: Fermentation (aka anaerobic respiration), leads to the partial breakdown of sugars in the absence of oxygen. Occurs in the cytoplasm. A more efficient and widespread catabolic process, cellular respiration (aka aerobic respiration) uses oxygen as a reactant to complete the breakdown of a variety of organic molecules. Most of the processes in cellular respiration occur in mitochondria. Comparing Fermentation and Aerobic Cellular Respiration Fermentation Aerobic Cellular Respiration Use oxygen? No Level of breakdown of sugar? Partial - Less efficent Complete - More efficient Location in cell? Cytoplasm Cytoplasm & Mitochondria Yes Cellular respiration is similar to the combustion of gasoline in an automobile engine. The overall process is: Carbohydrates, fats, and proteins can all be used as the fuel, but it is traditional to start learning with glucose. Organic compounds + O2 -> CO2 + H2O + Energy C6H12O6 + 6O2 -> 6CO2 + 6H2O + Energy (ATP + heat) The catabolism of glucose is exergonic with a delta G of - 686 kcal per mole of glucose. Some of this energy is used to produce ATP that will perform cellular work. B. ATP powers cellular work ! A cell does three main kinds of work: Mechanical work, beating of cilia, contraction of muscle cells, and movement of chromosomes Transport work, pumping substances across membranes against the gradient (ie. Na+K+pump) Chemical work, driving reactions like dehydration synthesis of DNA, RNA and proteins. In most cases, the immediate source of energy that powers cellular work is ATP. The transfer of the terminal phosphate group from ATP to another molecule is called phosphorylation. This changes the shape of the receiving molecule, performing work (transport, mechanical, or chemical). When the phosphate groups leaves the molecule, the molecule returns to its alternate shape. ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is a type of nucleotide consisting of the nitrogenous base adenine, the sugar ribose, and a chain of three phosphate groups. What does ATP look likesimply… PO4- PO4- PO4- ribose high-energy bonds adenine base The bonds between phosphate groups can be broken by hydrolysis. Hydrolysis of the end phosphate group forms adenosine diphosphate [ATP -> ADP + Pi] and releases 7.3 kcal of energy per mole of ATP under standard conditions. ATP is a renewable resource that is continually regenerated by adding a phosphate group to ADP. In a working muscle cell the entire pool of ATP is recycled once each minute, over 10 million ATP consumed and regenerated per second per cell. C. Cells recycle the ATP they use for work ATP, adenosine triphosphate, is the chemical equivalent of a loaded spring. The close packing of three negatively-charged phosphate groups is an unstable, energy-storing arrangement. Loss of the end phosphate group “relaxes” the “spring”. The price of most cellular work is the conversion of ATP to ADP and inorganic phosphate (Pi). An animal cell regenerates ATP from ADP and Pi by the catabolism of organic molecules like glucose. Click here for animation D. Respiration is a “redox” reaction Respiratory pathways relocate the electrons stored in food molecules, releasing energy that is used to synthesize ATP. Reactions that result in the transfer of one or more electrons from one reactant to another are oxidation-reduction reactions, or redox reactions. The loss of electrons is called oxidation. The addition of electrons is called reduction. “Redox” can be defined in many ways… Reduction Oxidation Electrons Gain of electrons Loss of electrons Hydrogen Gain of hydrogen Loss of hydrogen Oxygen Loss of oxygen Gain of oxygen Energy? Storage of energy Release of energy Remember: GER!! GER!!! “LEO” the lion says “GER” Lost electrons means oxidized Gained electrons means reduced E. Electrons get transferred from organic molecules to oxygen during cellular respiration In cellular respiration, glucose and other fuel molecules are oxidized, releasing energy. In the summary equation of cellular respiration: C6H12O6 + 6O2 + 6 H2O-> 6CO2 + 12H2O + 36 ATP Glucose is oxidized, oxygen is reduced, and electrons lose potential energy. F. NAD and FAD are important electron carrier molecules in respiration. Cellular respiration does not oxidize glucose in a single step. Rather, glucose and other organic molecules are broken down gradually in a series of steps, each catalyzed by a specific enzyme. At key steps, hydrogen atoms are stripped from glucose and passed first to a coenzyme, like NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide). • This changes the oxidized form, NAD+, to the reduced form NADH. •NAD + functions as the oxidizing agent in many of the redox steps during the breakdown of glucose. Glucose NADH and FADH2 O2 Therefore, NADH which is reduced is a temporary electron-energy storage molecule. FADH2 is another reduced coenzyme. This energy is tapped to synthesize ATP as electrons “fall” from NADH to oxygen. Cellular respiration uses an electron transport chain to break the fall of electrons to O2 into several steps. Otherwise, if all of the energy were released from glucose at once, the cell would explode! G. Respiration -an overview Respiration occurs in five metabolic stages: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Glycolysis The oxidation of pyruvic acid to acetyl CoA (The Link Reaction) The Krebs-citric acid cycle The electron transport chain The chemiosmotic synthesis of ATP. H. Glycolysis is the first stage of any kind of respiration (both anerobic and aerobic) During glycolysis, glucose, a six carbonsugar, is split into two, three-carbon sugars.(Lysis means to split) These smaller sugars are oxidized and rearranged to form two molecules of pyruvate.(3 carbons compounds) Each of the ten steps in glycolysis is catalyzed by a specific enzyme. In the energy investment phase, ATP provides activation energy by phosphorylating glucose. This requires 2 ATP per glucose. In the energy payoff phase, ATP is produced by substrate-level phosphorylation and NAD+ is reduced to NADH. 2 ATP (net) and 2 NADH are produced per glucose. • The ATP produced in glycolysis is an example of substrate-level phosphorylation. •Here, an enzyme transfers a phosphate group from an organic molecule (the substrate) directly to ADP, forming ATP. What Do You Really Need to Remember About Glycolysis? The process starts with 1 glucose. The net yield from glycolysis is 2 ATP and 2 NADH per glucose. No CO2 is produced during glycolysis. Glycolysis occurs whether O2 is present or not. Glycolysis takes place in the cytoplasm of the cells (this makes sense since all cells have cytoplasm) I. Types of Cellular Respiration Cellular respiration can occur in the presence or absence of OXYGEN (O2) With oxygen = Without oxygen = AEROBIC ANAEROBIC Overall reaction for aerobic respiration C6H12O6 + 6 O + 12 H2O 2 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + energy NOTE: the reverse of this equation is the equation for PHOTOSYNTHESIS Which came first: aerobic or anaerobic respiration? ANAEROBIC- starting with glycolysis Why? Because there was no free oxygen present in the early earth’s atmosphere when organisms first evolved.

Some energy from this oxidation produces 2 ATP (net). Glycolysis generates 2 ATP whether oxygen is present (aerobic) or not (anaerobic). Fermentation can generate ATP from glucose by substrate-level phosphorylation as long as there is a supply of NAD+ to accept electrons. Under anaerobic conditions, various fermentation pathways generate ATP by glycolysis and recycle NAD+ by transferring electrons from NADH to pyruvate. Why anaerobic? When a short burst of ATP is needed When oxygen supplies run out in respiring cells In environments that are deficient in oxygen, such as water-logged soils. In alcohol fermentation, pyruvate is converted to ethanol in two steps. 1. Pyruvate is converted to a two-carbon compound, acetaldehyde, by the removal of CO2. 2. Acetaldehyde is reduced by NADH to ethanol. 1 2 Alcohol fermentation by yeast is used in brewing and baking industries. Fermentation tanks producing wine Bioethanol is a renewable source of energy using alcoholic fermentation Pros and Cons of Biofuels? Positive effect of biofuels May limit greenhouse gases compared to burning petrol sources (considered carbon neutral since carbon made and carbon used is about equal) May reduce dependence on foreign sources of fuel Renewable source of energy unlike burning fossil fuels Negative effect of biofuels Certain sources of biofuels can be costly to grow Growing sources could put pressure on local water supplies Using corn or soybeans for fuel could put pressure on food supply availability Consequences of growing biofuel plants deforestation and use of fertilizers may hurt the ecosystem During lactic acid fermentation, pyruvate is reduced directly by NADH to form lactate (ionized form of lactic acid). Lactic acid fermentation by some fungi and bacteria is used to make cheese and yogurt. Muscle cells switch from aerobic respiration to lactic acid fermentation to generate ATP when O2 is scarce. The waste product, lactate, may cause muscle fatigue, but ultimately it is converted back to pyruvate in the liver. Products of lactic acid fermentation REVIEW: Fermentation and cellular respiration are anaerobic and aerobic alternatives, respectively, for producing ATP from sugars. Both use glycolysis to oxidize sugars to pyruvate with a net production of 2 ATP by substrate-level phosphorylation. Both use NAD+ as an electron acceptor. In fermentation, the electrons of NADH are passed to an organic molecule, regenerating NAD+. Q: Has NADH been oxidized or reduced? OXIDIZED In respiration, the electrons of NADH are ultimately passed to O2, generating ATP In addition, even more ATP is generated from the oxidation of pyruvate in the Krebs cycle (net gain=36 ATP) Without oxygen, the energy still stored in pyruvate is unavailable to the cell (Only 2 ATP are made from glycolysis pathway) Some organisms (facultative anaerobes), including yeast and many bacteria, can survive using either fermentation or respiration. At a cellular level, human muscle cells can behave as facultative anaerobes, but nerve cells cannot. For facultative anaerobes, pyruvate is a fork in the metabolic road that leads to two alternative routes. Review 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. What waste products do yeast make as a result of fermentation? What happens when our muscles are low in oxygen? Why do anaerobes need to continue reactions beyond glycolysis when all of their ATP that they can make has already been produced? What is the net gain of ATP as a result of lactic acid and alcoholic fermentation? Why are anaerobes not able to produce as much ATP as aerobes? If O2 is present, pyruvate moves to the Krebs cycle and the energy stored in NADH can be converted to ATP by the electron transport system and oxidative phosphorylation. K. Stage 2 of Aerobic Respiration: Oxidation of Pyruvic Acid- The Link Reaction More than three quarters of the original energy in glucose is still present in two molecules of pyruvate. If oxygen is present, pyruvate enters the aerobic pathway in the mitochondria in eukaryotes where the oxidation of the organic fuel to carbon dioxide occurs. Note: some aerobic bacteria exist. Which organelle in prokaryotes takes the place of the mitochondria? ANSWER: The plasma membrane is used for the necessary enzymatic reactions (ETC) As pyruvate enters the mitochondrion, pyruvate is converted to acetyl CoA which enters the Krebs cycle in the matrix. Carboxyl group is removed as CO2. A pair of electrons is transferred from the remaining two-carbon fragment to NAD+ to form NADH. The oxidized fragment combines with coenzyme A to form acetyl CoA. What is important to remember about this stage? Per glucose, Two 3-carbon pyruvate molecules are the reactants and are converted to acetyl compounds. 2 acetyl-CoA (coenzyme A) molecules are formed (two 2 carbon compounds) 2 carbon dioxide molecules are formed since pyruvate is decarboxylated. (How many more are yet to come?) 2 NADH molecules are formed since pyruvate is oxidized. (How many so far is that?) L. STAGE 3- THE KREBS/CITRIC ACID CYCLE: The Krebs cycle is named after Hans Krebs who was largely responsible for elucidating its pathways in the 1930’s. Acetyl-CoA (2 carbon molecule) is the starting point of the cycle. Overview of cycle: Oxidation of acetyl-CoA is coupled with the reduction of electron carrier molecules, NADH FADH2 Decarboxylation which liberates carbon dioxide The production of ATP (substrate-level phosphorylation. animation This cycle begins when acetate from acetyl CoA combines with oxaloacetate (OAA) to form citrate. Ultimately, the oxaloacetate is recycled. Each cycle produces one ATP by substrate-level phosphorylation, two carbon dioxides, three NADH, and one FADH2 (another electron carrier) per acetyl CoA. Since there are 2 acetyl-CoA molecules produced from stage 2, there are two turns of the Krebs cycle which doubles the numbers of the products made. The conversion of pyruvate and the Krebs cycle produces large quantities of electron carriers. How many do we have at this point per glucose? NADH? FADH2? 8 from pyruvate oxidation & Krebs 2 from Krebs What do you really need to remember about the Krebs cycle? 2 acetyl Co-A are the initial reactants The cycle begins when a 2-carbon acetyl-CoA joins with a 4 carbon oxaloacetic acid to form a 6 carbon citrate. There are two “spins” of the cycle per original glucose molecule With 2 turns…4 carbon dioxide molecules, 2 ATP, 6 NADH and 2FADH are made! The cycle occurs in the mitochondrial matrix Draw a picture of the mitochondria and label where the Krebs Cycle occurs M. Oxidative Phosphorylation includes The Electron Transport Chain and Chemiosmosis Only 4 of 36 ATP ultimately produced by respiration of glucose are derived from substrate-level phosphorylation. The vast majority of the ATP comes from the energy in the electrons carried by NADH and FADH2. The energy in these electrons is used in the electron transport system to power ATP synthesis. What does oxidative phosphorylation mean? The final stages of aerobic respiration: including the electron transport chain and the chemiosmosis of ATP. (coupled reactions) This is where the most amount of ADP is phosphorylated to ATP (the phosphate is added back on to ATP) Oxygen is used to accept electrons from NADH and FADH2 in this process. N. Stage 4 – The Electron Transport Chain • As hydrogens come off of NADH and FADH2, these molecules become oxidized. • The electrons from hydrogen travel down a chain of electron carrier molecules like “HOT POTATO”. • Oxygen has diffused into the matrix and accepts the electrons The ETC takes place on the cristae (inner membrane) Role of Oxygen in the ETC? • • Oxygen is the final acceptor of electron on the ETC Oxygen is needed to bind with the free protons in the mitochondrial matrix to maintain the hydrogen gradient, resulting in the formation of water. Thousands of copies of the electron transport chain are found in the extensive surface of the cristae, the inner membrane of the mitochondrion. Most components of the chain are proteins that can alternate between reduced and oxidized states as they accept and donate electrons. Electrons drop in free energy as they pass down the electron transport chain. animation animation Electrons carried by NADH are transferred to the first molecule in the electron transport chain, flavoprotein. The electrons continue along the chain which includes several cytochrome proteins and one lipid carrier. The electrons carried by FADH2 have lower free energy and are added to a later point in the chain. Electrons from NADH or FADH2 ultimately pass to oxygen. For every two electron carriers (four electrons), one O2 molecule is reduced to two molecules of water. The electron transport chain generates no ATP directly but aids in the chemiosmotic synthesis of ATP. A protein complex, ATP synthase, in the cristae actually makes ATP from ADP and Pi. H+ ions are pumped into the intermembrane space of the mitochondria as the electron transport chain occurs. These come from NADH and FADH2 hydrogens. This creates a proton gradient on either side of the cristae. animation The proton gradient is produced by the movement of electrons along the electron transport chain. + in the This high concentration of H intermembranal space sets up facilitated diffusion along the F1 complex (ATP synthase) The energy from this diffusion process allows ADP to gain a phosphate to form ATP. The ATP synthase molecules are the only place that will allow H+ to diffuse back to the matrix. This exergonic flow of H+ is used by the enzyme to generate ATP. 32 more ATP molecules are formed from this phase of respiration. This coupling of the redox reactions of the electron transport chain to ATP synthesis is called chemiosmosis. The mechanism of ATP generation by ATP synthase is still an area of active investigation. movie Chemiosmosis is an energy-coupling mechanism that uses energy stored in the form of an H+ gradient across a membrane to drive cellular work. In the mitochondrion, chemiosmosis generates ATP. Chemiosmosis in chloroplasts also generates ATP, but it’s used to power the production of food. Prokaryotes generate H+ gradients across their plasma membrane since they don’t have mitochondria. A Closer Look at Mitochondria Structure Sketch a mitochondria labeling all structures seen in an electron micrograph. Annotate your drawing by describing which reactions of the aerobic pathway occur in each section of your drawing. Structure vs. Function? Highly infolded cristae allows for more surface area for reactions (ETC) to occur to generate maximum ATP Compartmentalization of organelle (matrix vs. intermembranal space) allows for proton gradient to be established which is key to making ATP Matrix is fluid filled area for reactions to occur (e.g. Krebs) and where many enzymes are stored. P. Cellular respiration generates many ATP molecules for each sugar molecule it oxidizes: a review During respiration, most energy flows from glucose -> NADH & FADH2-> electron transport chain and proton-gradient -> ATP. Considering the fate of carbon, one sixcarbon glucose molecule is oxidized to six CO2 molecules. Some ATP is produced by substrate-level phosphorylation during glycolysis and the Krebs cycle, but most comes from oxidative phosphorylation. Click here for a cool rap on respiration animation Each NADH from the Krebs cycle and the conversion of pyruvate contributes enough energy to generate a maximum of 3 ATP (rounding up). Each FADH2 from the Krebs cycle can be used to generate about 2ATP. In some eukaryotic cells, NADH produced in the cytosol by glycolysis may be worth only 2 ATP. The electrons must be shuttled to the mitochondrion. 34 ATP are produced by oxidative phosphorylation This plus the 4 ATP (total) from substrate-level phosphorylation gives a bottom line of 38 ATP Considering 2 ATP are put in for activation energy during glycolysis, the total ATP made aerobically is 36 ATP Animation on the mitochondria in action- by Biovisions How efficient is respiration in generating ATP? Complete oxidation of glucose releases 686 kcal per mole. Formation of each ATP requires at least 7.3 kcal/mole. Efficiency of respiration is 7.3 kcal/mole x 38 ATP/glucose/686 kcal/mole glucose = 40%. The other approximately 60% is lost as heat. Cellular respiration is remarkably efficient in energy conversion. Q.Body temperature and Metabolic Rate Most of the energy from glucose is released as heat. What do animals do with this heat? Cold-blooded (aka ectothermic or poikilothermic) animals cannot retain this heat. Their body temperature fluctuates with the environmental temperature. Warm-blooded (aka endothermic or homeothermic) animals retain part of this heat to regulate their internal body temperatures. • • What does this graph show about homeotherms & ectotherms? How would the metabolic rate compare in each at different temperatures? How do poikilotherms regulate their body temperatures? These organisms must adapt to changes in temperature by changing their position, body orientation, location or time of day that they are active. For example, butterflies vibrate their wings to increase muscle temperature needed for flying. Turtles bask in the sun to warm up on a hot day. Desert animals may be nocturnal to avoid extreme daily temperatures. How do Homeotherms regulate their body temperature? Mammals and birds are the only two groups of homeotherms. To maintain a constant body temperature, these animals have adaptations like having effective insulation (ie. fat, fur, feathers), having the ability to shunt blood towards or away from blood vessels, shivering, sweating or panting. Metabolic rate is inversely proportional to body size In homeotherms, smaller animals have greater surface-to-volume ratios and therefore larger heat loss. These animals must oxidize food at a high rate and have a greater metabolism to survive. Shrews must eat constantly to stay alive while an elephant may eat a meal periodically throughout the day. R. Glycolysis and the Krebs cycle connect to many other metabolic pathways Glycolysis can accept a wide range of carbohydrates. Polysaccharides, like starch or glycogen, can be hydrolyzed to glucose monomers that enter glycolysis. Other hexose sugars, like galactose and fructose, can also be modified to undergo glycolysis. The other two major fuels, proteins and fats, can also enter the respiratory pathways, including glycolysis and the Krebs cycle, used by carbohydrates. Proteins must first be digested to individual amino acids. Amino acids that will be catabolized must have their amino groups removed via deamination. The nitrogenous waste is excreted as ammonia, urea, or another waste product. The carbon skeletons are modified by enzymes and enter as intermediaries into glycolysis or the Krebs cycle depending on their structure. The energy of fats can also be accessed via catabolic pathways. Fats must be digested to glycerol and fatty acids. Glycerol can be converted to glyceraldehyde phosphate, an intermediate of glycolysis. The rich energy of fatty acids is accessed as fatty acids are split into two-carbon fragments. These molecules enter the Krebs cycle as acetyl CoA. In fact, a gram of fat will generate twice as much ATP as a gram of carbohydrate via aerobic respiration. Reactions of fats entering the aerobic pathway are REVERSIBLE! If you eat too many cookies or potato chips which are mostly carbohydrates, your cells cannot process all of the glucose for energy. Therefore, some of these carbohydrates can follow reversible reactions within the mitochondria and end up forming FAT! Check this out Carbohydrates, fats, and proteins can all be catabolized through the same pathways. S. Negative feedback mechanisms control cellular respiration Basic principles of supply and demand regulate the metabolic economy. If a cell has an excess of a certain amino acid, it typically uses feedback inhibition to prevent synthesis pathway of that amino acid. The rate of catabolism is also regulated, typically by the level of ATP in the cell. If ATP levels drop, catabolism speeds up to produce more ATP.

In the link reaction, pyruvate is converted into acetyl CoA, which is the compound that enters the Krebs cycle.

Most of the ATP produced from glucose catabolism occurs in the ETC, the last phase of cellular respiration. This reaction involves inner mitochondrial membrane of the cristae and the space between the inner and outer membranes of the mitochondrion.

At each exchange at these proteins, small amounts of energy are released. This energy is used to transport hydrogen ions into the inter-membrane space. These hydrogen ions, protons, then passively move from the inner-membrane space back into the matrix through a large protein that includes ATP synthase The ATP synthase is an enzyme which allows the attachment of a phosphate group to ADP to make ATP This overall process is also called chemiosmosis.
