CHAPTER 7
WHERE IS THE ENERGY IN FOOD?
• Electrons pass from atoms or molecules to one
another as part of many energy reactions.
• Oxidation is when an atom or molecule loses an
electron.
• Reduction is when an atom or molecule gains an
electron.
• These reactions always occur together:
• Oxidation-reduction (redox) reactions
WHERE IS THE ENERGY IN FOOD?
• Redox reactions involve transfers of energy because the
electrons retain their potential energy.
• The reduced form of an organic molecule has a higher level of
energy than the oxidized form.

WHERE IS THE ENERGY IN FOOD?
• The energy for living is obtained by breaking
down the organic molecules originally produced
in plants.
• The ATP energy and reducing power invested in
building the organic molecules are stripped away as
the chemical bonds are broken and used to make ATP.
• The oxidation of food stuffs to obtain energy is called
cellular respiration.

CELLULAR RESPIRATION
• Cellular respiration takes place in two
stages:
– Glycolysis
• Occurs in the cytoplasm.
• Does not require O2 to generate ATP.
CELLULAR RESPIRATION
– Krebs cycle
• Occurs within the mitochondrion.
• Harvests energy-rich electrons through a cycle
of oxidation reactions.
• The electrons are passed to an electron
transport chain in order to power the
production of ATP.

USING COUPLED REACTIONS TO MAKE
ATP
• Glycolysis is a sequence of reactions that form
a biochemical pathway.
• In ten enzyme-catalyzed reactions, the six-carbon
sugar glucose is broken into two three-carbon
pyruvate molecules.
USING COUPLED REACTIONS TO MAKE
ATP
• The breaking of the bonds yields energy that is
used to phosphorylate ADP to ATP.
• This process is called substrate-level
phosphorylation.
• In addition, electrons and hydrogen atoms are
donated to NAD+ to form NADH.

USING COUPLED REACTIONS TO MAKE
ATP
• Glycolysis yields only a small amount of ATP.
• Only two ATP are made for each molecule of glucose.
• This is the only way organisms can derive energy from
food in the absence of oxygen.
• All organisms are capable of carrying out glycolysis.
• This biochemical process was probably one of the
earliest to evolve.
HARVESTING ELECTRONS FROM
CHEMICAL BONDS
• In the presence of oxygen, the first step of
oxidative respiration in the mitochondrion is the
oxidation of pyruvate.
• Pyruvate still contains considerable stored energy at
the end of glycolysis.
• Pyruvate is oxidized to form acetyl-CoA.
ACETYL-COA
• When pyruvate is
oxidized, one of its
three carbons is
cleaved.

to form NADH.
• The remaining two-carbon fragment of pyruvate is
joined to a cofactor called coenzyme A (CoA).
• The final compound is called acetyl-CoA.
KEY BIOLOGICAL PROCESS:
TRANSFER OF H ATOMS
• NADH and NAD+ are used by cells to carry
hydrogen atoms and energetic electrons.

Enzymes that harvest hydrogen atoms
have a binding site for NAD+ located
near the substrate binding site.
In an oxidation-reduction reaction, the
hydrogen atom and an electron are
transferred to NAD+, forming NADH.
NADH then diffuses away and is
available to donate the hydrogen to
other molecules.
HARVESTING ELECTRONS FROM
CHEMICAL BONDS
• The fate of acetyl-CoA depends on the
availability of ATP in the cell.
• If there is insufficient ATP, then the acetyl-CoA
heads to the Krebs cycle.
• If there is plentiful ATP, then the acetyl-CoA is
diverted to fat synthesis for energy storage.
KREBS CYCLE
• The second step of oxidative respiration is called
the Krebs cycle.
• The Krebs cycle is a series of 9 reactions that
can be broken down into three stages:
1. Acetyl-CoA enters the cycle and binds to a fourcarbon molecule, forming a 6-C molecule.
2. Two carbons are removed as CO2 and their electrons
donated to NAD+. In addition, an ATP is produced.
3. The four-carbon molecule is recycled and more
electrons are extracted, forming NADH and FADH2.

HARVESTING ELECTRONS FROM
CHEMICAL BONDS
• In the process of cellular respiration, the glucose
is entirely consumed.
• The energy from its chemical bonds has been
transformed into:
• 4 ATP molecules.
• 10 NADH electron carriers.
• 2 FADH2 electron carriers.
USING THE ELECTRONS TO
MAKE ATP
• NADH and FADH2 transfer their electrons to a
series of membrane-associated molecules
called the electron transport chain.
• Some protein complexes in the electron transport
chain act as proton pumps.
• The last transport protein donates the electrons to
hydrogen and oxygen in order to form water.
• The supply of oxygen able to accept electrons makes
oxidative respiration possible.

• Chemiosmosis is integrated with electron
transport.
• Electrons harvested from reduced carriers (NADH and
FADH2) are used to drive proton pumps and
concentrate protons in the intermembrane space.
• The re-entry of the protons into the matrix across ATP
synthase drives the synthesis of ATP by
chemiosmosis.

CELLS CAN METABOLIZE FOOD
WITHOUT OXYGEN
• In the absence of oxygen, organisms must rely
exclusively on glycolysis to produce ATP.
• In a process called fermentation, the hydrogen
atoms from the NADH generated by glycolysis are
donated to organic molecules, and NAD+ is
regenerated.
• With the recycling of NAD+, glycolysis is allowed to
continue.
FERMENTATION
• Bacteria can perform more than a dozen
different kinds of fermentation.
• Eukaryotic cells are only capable of a few
types of fermentation.
FERMENTATION
• In yeasts (single-celled fungi), pyruvate is converted
into acetaldehyde, which then accepts a hydrogen
from NADH, producing NAD+ and ethanol.
• In animals, such as ourselves, pyruvate accepts a
hydrogen atom from NADH, producing NAD+ and
lactate.

GLUCOSE IS NOT THE ONLY
FOOD MOLECULE
• Cells also get energy from foods other than
sugars.
• These complex molecules are first digested into
simpler subunits, which are then chemically
modified into intermediates.
• These intermediates enter cellular respiration at
different steps.
