Overview: Life Is Work
• Living cells require energy from outside
sources.
• Some animals, such as the giant panda, obtain
energy by eating plants, and some animals
feed on other organisms that eat plants.
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings
• Energy flows into an ecosystem as sunlight
and leaves as heat.
• Photosynthesis generates O2 and organic
molecules C-H-O, which are used in cellular
respiration.
• Cells use chemical energy stored in organic
molecules C-H-O to regenerate ATP, which
powers work.

Catabolic pathways yield energy by oxidizing
organic fuels: C-H-O molecules to Produce ATP
• The breakdown of organic molecules is exergonic.
• Fermentation is a partial degradation of sugars that
occurs without O2
• Aerobic respiration consumes organic molecules
and O2 and yields ATP.
• Anaerobic respiration is similar to aerobic respiration
but consumes compounds without O2
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings
• Cellular respiration includes both aerobic and
anaerobic respiration but is often used to refer
to aerobic respiration.
• Although carbohydrates, fats, and proteins are
all consumed as fuel, it is helpful to trace
cellular respiration with the sugar glucose:
C6H12O6 + 6 O2  6 CO2 + 6 H2O + Energy
(ATP + heat)

Redox Reactions: Oxidation and Reduction
• Oxidation is a LOSS
(of H or electrons).
• Reduction is a GAIN
(of H or electrons).
• The transfer of electrons during chemical
reactions releases energy stored in organic
molecules.
• This released energy is ultimately used to
synthesize ATP.
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings
The Principle of Redox
• Chemical reactions that transfer electrons
between reactants are called oxidation-reduction
reactions, or redox reactions.
• In oxidation, a substance loses electrons, or is
oxidized.
• In reduction, a substance gains electrons, or is
reduced (the amount of positive charge is
reduced).
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

Oxidation / Reduction Reactions

• The electron donor is oxidized and is called
the reducing agent
• The electron receptor is reduced and is called
the oxidizing agent
• Some redox reactions do not transfer
electrons but change the electron sharing in
covalent bonds.
• An example is the reaction between methane
and O2

Oxidation of Organic Fuel Molecules During
Cellular Respiration
During cellular respiration:
• The fuel C-H-O (such as glucose) is oxidized,
looses H’s
• and O2 is reduced, gains H’s
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings
During Cellular Respiration During
cellular respiration, the
fuel (such

NAD+ is Reduced to NADH + H+
Dehydrogenase
Stepwise Energy Harvest via NAD+ and the Electron
Transport Chain
• In cellular respiration, glucose and other
organic molecules are broken down in a series
of steps.
• Electrons from organic compounds are usually
first transferred to NAD+ = a coenzyme.
• As an electron acceptor, NAD+ functions as an
oxidizing agent during cellular respiration.
• NADH = the reduced form of NAD+ . Each
NADH represents stored energy that is tapped
to synthesize ATP.

• NADH passes the electrons to the electron
transport chain ETC.
• Unlike an uncontrolled reaction, the electron
transport chain passes electrons in a series of
steps instead of one explosive reaction.
• O2 pulls electrons down the ETC chain in an
energy-yielding tumble.
• The energy yielded is used to regenerate ATP.

The Stages of Cellular Respiration: A Preview
• Cellular respiration has three stages:
– Glycolysis (breaks down glucose into two
molecules of pyruvate)
– The citric acid cycle: Krebs Cycle
(completes the breakdown of glucose)
– Oxidative phosphorylation (accounts for
most of the ATP synthesis) by chemiosmosis.

• The process in cell respiration that generates
most of the ATP is oxidative phosphorylation
(powered by redox reactions).
• Oxidative phosphorylation accounts for almost
90% of the ATP generated by cellular respiration.
• A smaller amount of ATP is formed in glycolysis
and the citric acid / Krebs Cycle by substratelevel phosphorylation.

Glycolysis harvests chemical energy by oxidizing
glucose to pyruvate
• Glycolysis (“sugar splitting”) breaks down
glucose into two molecules of pyruvate.
• Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm and has two
major phases:
– Energy investment phase = EA
– Energy payoff phase = ATP and NADH

The Citric Acid Cycle = Krebs Cycle: completes the
energy-yielding oxidation of organic molecules
• If O2 is present, pyruvates (3 carbon C-H-O)
enter the mitochondria.
• Before the Krebs Cycle can begin, the pyruvate
must be converted to acetyl CoA
• Acetyl CoA = Acetate + CoEnzyme A
Acetate = a 2 carbon C-H-O
CoEnzyme A = a carrier molecule

• The citric acid / Krebs cycle has eight steps, each
catalyzed by a specific enzyme.
• The acetyl group of acetyl CoA joins the cycle by
combining with oxaloacetate, OAA, forming citrate
(citric acid).
• The next seven steps break down the citrate and
regenerate oxaloacetate,OAA, making the process a
cycle.
• The NADH and FADH2 produced by the Krebs Cycle
carry electrons extracted from food (C-H-O) to the
electron transport chain in the mitochondrial cristae
membrane.

During oxidative phosphorylation, chemiosmosis
couples electron transport to ATP synthesis
• Following glycolysis and the citric acid cycle,
NADH and FADH2 account for most of the
energy extracted from food.
• These two electron carriers: NADH and FADH2
donate electrons to the electron transport
chain, which powers ATP synthesis via
oxidative phosphorylation.
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings
The Pathway of Electron Transport
• The electron transport chain is in the cristae
membrane of the mitochondrion.
• Most of the chain’s components are proteins,
which exist in multiprotein complexes.
• The carriers alternate reduced and oxidized
states as they accept and donate electrons,
redox.
• Electrons drop in free energy as they go down
the chain and are finally passed to O2, forming
H2O (waste).

• Electrons are transferred from NADH or FADH2
to the electron transport chain, ETC.
• Electrons are passed along the cristae
membrane through a number of proteins
including cytochromes (each with an iron
atom) to O2
• The electron transport chain generates no ATP
• The chain’s function is to break the large freeenergy drop from food to O2 into smaller steps
that release energy in manageable amounts.
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings
Chemiosmosis The Energy-Coupling Mechanism
• Electron transfer, redox, in the electron transport
chain causes proteins to pump H+ from the
mitochondrial matrix to the intermembrane space
 creating a proton H+ gradient.
• H+ then moves back across the membrane,
passing through channels in ATP synthase.
• ATP synthase uses the exergonic flow of H+ to
drive phosphorylation of ATP.
• This is an example of chemiosmosis, the use of
energy in a H+ gradient to drive ATP synthesis.
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings
Chemiosomosis
• The energy stored in a H+ (proton) gradient,
across a membrane couples the redox
reactions of the electron transport chain to ATP
synthesis.
• The H+ gradient is a proton-motive force,
emphasizing its capacity to do work.

An Accounting of ATP Production by Cellular
Respiration
• During cellular respiration, most energy flows in
this sequence:
glucose  NADH  electron transport
chain  proton-motive force  ATP
• About 40% of the energy in a glucose molecule
is transferred to ATP during cellular respiration,
making about 38 ATP.

Fermentation and anaerobic respiration enable cells
to produce ATP without the use of oxygen
• Most cellular respiration requires O2 to produce
ATP.
• Glycolysis produces ATP without O2 (in aerobic
or anaerobic conditions).
• In the absence of O2, glycolysis couples with
fermentation or anaerobic respiration to
produce ATP.
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings
Fermentation: Anaerobic / No Oxygen Used
• Fermentation consists of glycolysis plus
reactions that regenerate NAD+, which can be
reused by glycolysis.
• Two common types are alcohol fermentation
and lactic acid fermentation.
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings
• In alcohol fermentation, pyruvate is
converted to ethanol in two steps, with the first
releasing CO2
• Alcohol fermentation by yeast is used in
brewing, winemaking, and baking / $$
commercial uses.

• In lactic acid fermentation, pyruvate is
reduced to NADH, forming lactate as an end
product, with no release of CO2
• Lactic acid fermentation by some fungi and
bacteria is used to make cheese and yogurt $$
• Human muscle cells use lactic acid
fermentation to generate ATP when O2 is
scarce; meaning there is an O2 debt. This
reaction is reversible when O2 is available.

Fermentation and Aerobic Respiration Compared
• Both processes use glycolysis to oxidize
glucose and other organic fuels to pyruvate
• The processes have different final electron
acceptors:
 an organic molecule (such as pyruvate or
acetaldehyde) in fermentation.
 O2 in aerobic cellular respiration.
• Aerobic cellular respiration nets 38 ATP per
glucose molecule; fermentation nets only 2
ATP per glucose molecule.
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings
Micro-organisms
• Obligate anaerobes carry out fermentation or
anaerobic respiration and cannot survive in the
presence of O2
• Facultative anaerobes (yeast and many
bacteria) can survive using either fermentation
or cellular respiration. In a facultative
anaerobe, pyruvate is a fork in the metabolic
road that leads to two alternative catabolic
routes.
• Obligate aerobes carry out aerobic cellular
respiration and require O2

The Evolutionary Significance of Glycolysis
• Glycolysis occurs in nearly all organisms.
• Glycolysis probably evolved in ancient
prokaryotes before there was oxygen in the
atmosphere.
• Fermentation evolved to recycle NAD+ back to
glycolysis so ATP production continues in the
absence of O2
• Gycolysis and the Citric Acid Cycle are major
intersections to various catabolic and anabolic
pathways.

• Gycolysis and the citric acid cycle are major

Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings
The Versatility of Catabolism: breaking down
• Catabolic pathways funnel electrons from many
kinds of organic molecules into cellular
respiration.
• Glycolysis accepts a wide range of
carbohydrates.
• Proteins must be digested to amino acids
which can feed glycolysis or the citric acid
cycle.
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings
• Fats are digested to glycerol (used in
glycolysis) and fatty acids (used in generating
acetyl CoA).
• Fatty acids are broken down by beta oxidation
and yield acetyl CoA.
• An oxidized gram of fat produces more than
twice as much ATP as an oxidized gram of
carbohydrate (fat has more calories = unit of
energy for cell work).

Biosynthesis - Anabolic Pathways: Building
• The body uses small molecules to build larger
more complex molecules.
• These small molecules may come directly from
food, from glycolysis, or from the citric acid
cycle.

Regulation of Cellular Respiration via Feedback
Mechanisms
• Feedback inhibition is the most common
mechanism for control, regulation.
• If ATP concentration begins to drop, respiration
speeds up; when there is plenty of ATP,
respiration slows down.
• Control of catabolism is based mainly on
regulating the activity of enzymes at strategic
points in the catabolic pathway.
