Bauer/zefa/Corbis 5 Cellular Respiration NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) A coenzyme of oxidation-reduction. It is: • Oxidized when it gives up electrons • Reduced when it accepts electrons Each NAD+ molecule is used over and over again • FAD (flavin adenine dinucleotide) Also a coenzyme of oxidation-reduction Sometimes used instead of NAD+ Accepts two electrons and two hydrogen ions (H+) to become FADH2 6 Cellular Respiration • Cellular respiration includes four phases: Glycolysis is the breakdown of glucose into two molecules of pyruvate • Occurs in the cytoplasm • ATP is formed • Does not utilize oxygen Preparatory (prep) reaction • Both pyruvates are oxidized and enter the mitochondria • Electron energy is stored in NADH • Two carbons are released as CO2 (one from each pyruvate) 7 Cellular Respiration Citric acid cycle • Occurs in the matrix of the mitochondrion and produces NADH and FADH2 • In series of reactions, it releases 4 carbons as CO2 • Turns twice per glucose molecule (once for each pyruvate) • Produces two immediate ATP molecules per glucose molecule Electron transport chain (ETC) • Extracts energy from NADH & FADH2 • Passes electrons from higher to lower energy states • Produces 32 or 34 molecules of ATP 8 The Four Phases of Complete Glucose Breakdown Copyright © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.

During fermentation, glucose is incompletely metabolized to lactate, or to CO2 and alcohol (depending on the organism). • If O2 is available to the cell, pyruvate enters the mitochondria for aerobic respiration. 24 Outside the Mitochondria: Fermentation • Fermentation is an anaerobic process that reduces pyruvate to either lactate or alcohol and CO2 NADH transfers its electrons to pyruvate Alcoholic fermentation, carried out by yeasts, produces carbon dioxide and ethyl alcohol • • • Lactic acid fermentation, carried out by certain bacteria and fungi, produces lactic acid (lactate) • Used in the production of alcoholic spirits and breads. Used commercially in the production of cheese, yogurt, and sauerkraut. Other bacteria produce chemicals anaerobically, including isopropanol, butyric acid, proprionic acid, and acetic acid. 25 Fermentation Copyright © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.

Lactate changes pH and causes muscles to fatigue. • Oxygen debt Yeast die from the alcohol they produce by fermentation • Efficiency of Fermentation Two ATP produced per glucose of molecule during fermentation is equivalent to 14.6 kcal. Complete oxidation of glucose can yield 686 kcal. Only 2 ATP per glucose are produced, compared to 36 or 38 ATP molecules per glucose produced by cellular respiration. 30 Outside the Mitochondria: Fermentation Copyright © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.
