Summary Equation Of Cellular Respiration
AP Biology, Chapter 9
Cellular Respiration and Fermentation

Life is Work

9.1 Catabolic pathways yield energy by oxidizing organic fuels Intro Catabolic Pathways and Production of ATP 1. Distinguish fermentation and cellular respiration. Fermentation Partial degradation of glucose Uses no O2 Yields some ATP Cellular respiration Complete degradation to CO2 and H2O Requires O2 = aerobic Yields much more ATP 2. Describe the summary equation for cellular respiration. Also note the specific chemical equation for the degradation of glucose. Organic compounds + O2 è CO2 + H2O + energy C6H12O6 + 6O2 è 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy (ΔG = -686 kcal/mol) Redox reactions: Oxidation and Reduction

Summarize the energy yield of glycolysis. Lose: 2 ATP getting the process started Gain: 4 ATP and 2 NADH Net: 2 ATP + 2 NADH

9.3 After pyruvate is oxidized, the citric acid cycle completes the energy-yielding oxidation of organic molecules Intro Oxidation of Pyruvate to Acetyl CoA 15. Describe where pyruvate is oxidized to acetyl CoA, what molecules are produced, and how this process links glycolysis to the citric acid cycle. Pyruvate is actively transported into the mitochondrial matrix Performed by pyruvate dehydrogenase complex Pyruvate + Coenzyme A + NAD+ è Acetyl CoA + CO2 +

Summarize important phases in the citric acid cycle. Acetyl CoA + oxaloacetate è citrate + CoA Citrate è succinyl CoA + 2CO2 + 2NADH Succinyl CoA è oxaloacetate + ATP + FADH2 + NADH

9.4 During oxidative phosphorylation, chemiosmosis couples electron transport to ATP synthesis Intro The Pathway of Electron Transport 17. Where is the energy from the glucose molecule when the citric acid cycle is completed? 4 ATP from substrate-level phosphorylation Much more is present as NADH and FADH2 18. Describe how the exergonic "slide" of electrons down the electron transport chain is coupled to the endergonic production of ATP by chemiosmosis. Electrons lose energy in electron transport = exergonic NADH donates high-energy electrons to a flavoprotein FADH2 feeds in at a lower energy level Also in the chain are Fe·S proteins, ubiquinone, and cytochromes Oxygen accepts low-energy electrons from the last carrier The energy is used to transport H+ out of the matrix Chemiosmosis: The Energy-Coupling

    The citric acid cycle begins after the first stage of glycolysis is completed. The two carbon molecules are converted into acetyl CoA compound. Two ATPs are produced per each molecule of glucose by the citric acid cycle. When these compounds are reduced, they are transported by electron carriers to the next stage. The citric acid cycle occurs only when oxygen is present in the mitochondrion after the cell splits during the first phase glycolysis.…

    It serves as a precursor to oxidative phosphorylation, which is where the majority of ATP in respiring animals is produced. It is for this reason that the rapid replenishment of the reactants in the cycle is a vital process if any are removed for biosynthesis. Oxaloacetate, for example, is often converted into amino acids for protein synthesis, meaning the energy requirements of the cell will increase. This means the rate of the citric acid cycle will reduce until a minimum quantity of oxaloacetate is present, as acetyl CoA produced in the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex cannot enter the cycle unless it condenses with oxaloacetate. To increase the amount of oxaloacetate present, pyruvate is carboxylated in the presence of the enzyme pyruvate carboxylase. Although oxaloacetate is recycled on subsequent turns of the citric acid cycle, it must be constantly replenished when it is drawn off as the cycle could not occur without…

    * Mitochondria. Glucose molecule splits in half. Then the NAD and electron carriers pick up electrons and hydrogen from carbon molecules forming NADH. The electron carriers play a major role in transporting the electrons to the reaction process within the mitochondria. A small amount of ATP is produced in the last step where for every glucose only two are made outside the Mitochondria. At the same time another energy source is produced providing larger amounts of energy, this source is called pyruvic acid. This acid enters the mitochondrion where most of the energy is removed. As it enters the carbon is removed and by-product electrons, co-enzyme a clings to the remaining two carbons making acetyl CoA. (Dickey, Reese, Simon, 2010).…

    The citric acid cycle (CAC) is the vital pathway by which complete oxidation of both carbohydrate and lipids occur. The initial molecule used here is acetyl-CoA, a three-carbon compound which is created from both pyruvate and glycerol under aerobic conditions. Acetyl-CoA reacts with oxaloacetate to form citric acid, the first product of the cycle. This pathway sees the regeneration of oxaloacetate and the creation of reduced electron carriers of FADH2 and NADH needed in electron transport. The final reaction of the CAC, the conversion of malate to oxaloacetate is endergonic but is coupled to the highly exergonic first step of the CAC, pulling the reaction forward.…
