Introduction: Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the energy currency used throughout the cell. ATP provides energy for the cell to do work, such as mechanical work, transport substances across the membrane, and perform various chemical reactions. ATP is composed of phosphate groups, a ribose and adenine. In the structure of ATP, there are three phosphate groups attached to adenosine. The last two bonds on the phosphate groups contain especially high energy and are therefore very useful for doing work within living cells. The bonds that hold phosphate groups are easily broken by hydrolysis which results in the release of energy. Fig. 1a.

Pigments 13 What’s In Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) • Structure composed of: sugar ribose, nitrogen base adenine and a chain of 3- phosphate groups • Mediates most energy coupling in cells • Powers cellular work • 3 main kinds of work of a cell: chemical work, transport work and mechanical work. These are possible through energy coupling, where the cells use and exergonic process to drive an endergonic reaction. • chemical work: synthesis of polymers from monomers (pushing of endergonic reactions) • transport work: pumping of substances across membranes (against the direction of spontaneous movement) • mechanical work: beating of cilia, contraction of muscles • also used to make RNA (since ATP is used as one of the nucleoside triphosphate Hydrolysis of ATP • process of breaking down bonds between the phosphate groups • this happens when a water molecule breaks the terminal phosphate bond • HOPO32-, abbreviated P I leaves ATP • Forming Adenosine diphosphate (ADP) • Energy is released. This comes from the chemical change of the system state of lower free energy and NOT from the phosphate bonds. • Hydrolysis releases so much energy because of the negative charges of the phosphate groups. These charges are crowded together and their mutual repulsion contributes to the instability of that region of the ATP. The energy equivalent of the triphosphate tail of ATP is compared to a compressed spring. Fig. 1.b. The Hydrolysis of ATP 14 How the Hydrolysis of ATP Perform Work • Proof that ATP releases heat: in a test set up, the hydrolysis of ATP releases energy in the form of heat in the surrounding water. • Most of the time when an animal is exposed in a cold environment, the reaction of the body is through shivering. In this reaction of the organism, shivering uses ATP during muscle contraction to warm the body. Since it will also be a disadvantage for organisms to generate heat during ATP hydrolysis, in order to maintain the living conditions inside the cell, the energy released during ATP hydrolysis is used by proteins to perform work: chemical, transport and mechanical • Hydrolysis of ATP leads to change in the shape of protein and in its ability to bind to another molecule. Phosphorylation (ADP to ATP) and dephosphorylating (ATP to ADP) promote crucial protein shape changes during important cellular process Fig. 1.c. Phosphorylation (ADP to ATP) and dephosphorylation (ATP to ADP) The Fluidity of the membrane is due to temperature, the configuration of the unsaturated fatty acid tails (some kinked or form a sharp twist by double bonds), the presence of cholesterol embedded in the membrane, and the mosaic nature of the The Regeneration of ATP • ATP is a renewable it can be regenerated by the addition of phosphate to ADP • Catabolism (exergonic) provides the free energy to phosphorylate ADP. 15 • ATP formation is not spontaneous, so there is a need to use free energy for the process to work. • ATP cycle is the shuttling of inorganic phosphate and energy. • It couples the cell’s energy yielding processes (exergonic) to energy consuming process (endergonic) • ATP regeneration happens very fast (10M molecules of ATP used ad regenerated per second) • If ATP could not be regenerated by phosphorylation of ADP, HUMANS would use nearly their body weight in ATP each day. Fig. 1.d. The ATP cycle • As temperatures cool, membranes switch from a fluid state to a solid state. • The temperature at which a membrane solidifies depends on the types of lipids. • Membranes rich in unsaturated fatty acids are more fluid than those rich in saturated fatty acids. (Fig. 7.f.) The Importance of Chlorophyll and Other Pigments Terminology: Chromatography is a separation technique used to identify various components of mixtures based on the differences in their structure and/or composition. Pigments are substances that absorb visible light. Different pigments absorb light of different wavelengths. 16 Light, as it encounters an object, is either reflected, transmitted, or absorbed. Visible light, with a wavelength of 380–750nm, is the segment in the entire range of electromagnetic spectrum that is most important to life on earth. It is detected as various colors by the human eye. The color that is not absorbed by pigments of objects is transmitted or reflected and that is the color of the object that we see. Fig. 1.e. The Electromagnetic Spectrum Pigments are the means by which plants capture sun’s energy to be used in photosynthesis. However, since each pigment absorbs only a narrow range of wavelength, there is usually a need to produce several kinds of pigments of different colors to capture more of sun’s energy. Chlorophyll is the greenish pigment found in the thylakoid membrane inside the chloroplast of a plant cell. Chlorophyll absorbs blue and red light while it transmits and reflects green light. This is why leaves appear green. There are several kinds of chlorophyll. Among these, chlorophyll a plays the most important role in photosynthesis. It directly participates in converting solar energy to chemical energy. Other pigments in the chloroplast play the part of accessory pigments. These pigments can absorb light and transfer the energy to chlorophyll a. One of these accessory pigments is chlorophyll b. Some carotenoids also contribute energy to chlorophyll a. Other carotenoids, however, serve as protection for chlorophyll by dissipating excessive energy that will otherwise be destructive to chlorophyll. 17 Structure of chlorophyll • Head—a flat hydrophilic head called porphyrin ring. It has a magnesium atom at its center. Different chlorophylls differ on the side groups attached to the porphyrin. • Tail—a lipid-soluble hydrocarbon tail. How does photoexcitation of chlorophyll happen? 1. A chlorophyll molecule absorbs photon or light energy. 2. An electron of the molecule in its normal orbital, said to be in its ground state, will be elevated to an orbital of a higher energy. The molecule is now in an excited state. The molecule only absorbs photon that has the energy that is equal to the energy needed for it to be able to elevate from the ground state to the excited state. 3. The excited state is unstable. Hence, excited electrons drop back down to the ground state immediately after, releasing energy in the form of heat and photon. This happens in isolated chlorophyll molecules. However, chlorophyll molecule that is found in its natural environment in the thylakoid membrane forms a photosystem together with proteins and other organic molecules to prevent the loss of energy from the electrons. Fig. 1.f. The Photoexcitation of Chlorophyll Photosystem A photosystem is an aggregate of pigments and proteins in the thylakoid membrane responsible for the absorption of photons and the transfer of energy and electrons. It is composed of: • Light-harvesting complex— is also called the ‘antenna’ complex and is consisted of several different pigments (chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, and carotenoids) bounded with proteins. When a pigment molecule absorbs a photon, energy is passed on from one pigment molecule to another pigment molecule until the energy reaches the reaction center. • Reaction-center complex—is composed of a pair of chlorophyll a and a primary electron acceptor. The primary electron acceptor is a specialized molecule that is able to accept electrons from the pair of chlorophyll a. The pair of chlorophyll a in the reaction-center is also specialized because they are capable of transferring an 18 electron to the primary electron acceptor and not just boosting the electron to a higher energy level. There are two types of photosystem: • Photosystem II—was discovered later after the discovery of Photosystem I, but functions first in the light reaction of photosynthesis. The chlorophyll a in the reactioncenter of Photosystem II effectively absorbs light with a wavelength of 680nm and thus called P680. • Photosystem I—was discovered first. Its reaction-center has a chlorophyll a called P700 because it is effective in absorbing light with a wavelength of 700nm. What’s New • Visual and Listening Activity: 1.

In eukaryotes, chlorophyll is associated with thylakoid membranes of the chloroplast. Photosynthesis in eukaryotes involves three essential processes: 1. Energy absorption from sunlight via pigments during light-dependent reaction 2. Reactivation of reaction center 3. Carbohydrates production by carbon fixation during dark reaction. Fig. 2a. Chemical reaction for photosynthesis 21 What I Know Chemical reactions for photosynthesis: Which groups participate in the reaction?

Plastocyanin (Pc) 6. ATP 7. Photophosphorylation 8. Ferredoxin 9. NADP+ 10. NADPH 11. Chemiosmosis What’s In During PHOTOSYNTHESIS: • Energy from sunlight is harvested and used to drive the synthesis of glucose from CO2 and H2O. By converting the energy of sunlight to a usable form of potential chemical energy, photosynthesis is the ultimate source of metabolic energy for all biological systems. 22 • Photosynthesis takes place in two distinct stages. (A) In the light reactions, energy from sunlight drives the synthesis of ATP and NADPH, coupled to the formation of O2 from H2O. (B) In the dark reactions (named because they do not require sunlight), the ATP and NADPH produced by the light reactions drive glucose synthesis. • In eukaryotic cells, both the light and dark reactions of photosynthesis occur within chloroplasts—the light reactions in the thylakoid membrane and the dark reactions within the stroma. The two stages of photosynthesis: • Light reactions—use sunlight to initiate electron transfer, thereby reducing NADP+ to NADPH and splitting water to give off oxygen as a by-product. • form ATP through phosphorylation • take place in the thylakoids of the chloroplast • Calvin Cycle—sometimes referred to as ‘dark reactions’ because it does not require light energy for its processes to take place • incorporates CO2 into organic molecules through carbon fixation • uses NADPH and ATP to produce carbohydrate from the fixed carbon • takes place in the stroma of chloroplast • returns ADP, inorganic phosphate, and NADP+ to the light reactions Fig. 2.b. The Light Reactions . 23 Light Reactions Events 1. Light energy or photon is absorbed by a pigment molecule of the light-harvesting complex of Photosystem II and is passed on to other pigment molecules nearby until the energy makes it to the reaction center. In the reaction center, it is absorbed by the P680 pair of chlorophyll a. 2. The electron in this pair of chlorophyll a is raised to an excited state and is transferred to the primary electron acceptor. P680 loses its electron and becomes positively charged (P680+). 3. The positively charged molecule attracts electrons from a water molecule, resulting to the splitting up of H20 into two electrons, two hydrogen ions (H+), and an oxygen atom with the provision of light energy. The oxygen atom immediately combines with another oxygen atom to form an oxygen molecule (O2) which is then released outside the leaf through the stomata. 4. The excited electrons are then passed on from the primary electron acceptor to the electron carrier molecules through the electron transport chain until they reach Photosystem I. The electron carrier molecules involved here are plastoquinone (Pq), a cytochrome complex, and plastocyanin (Pc). 5. At each transfer, the electrons release small amounts of energy. This energy is used to pump hydrogen ions across the membrane. The splitting up of water molecules results to an uneven distribution of hydrogen ions in the stroma and the lumen. The H+ ions tries to equalize their distribution by moving from the lumen to the stroma through the aid of a membrane protein called ATP synthase. This is referred to as chemiosmosis. The movement of hydrogen ions through the ATP synthase channel triggers the synthesis of ATP from ADP. The ATP contains high-energy phosphate bonds. 6. Meanwhile, photon is also absorbed and energy is passed on from one pigment molecule to another until the energy reaches the reaction center complex of Photosystem I. The energy excites the electron present in the pair of P700 chlorophyll a located here. The excited electron is then transferred to a primary electron acceptor, making the P700 positively charged and now seeking electrons to fill up the missing ones. This is filled up by the electrons from Photosystem II that are passed on through the electron transport chain. 7. The photo-excited electron from the primary electron acceptor of Photosystem I enters another electron transfer chain, passing the electron to an iron-containing protein called ferredoxin (Fd). 8. An enzyme, the NADP+ reductase, then transfers the electron to NADP+ and stabilizes it by adding a proton (H+) to form NADPH. NADPH is then released to the stroma and becomes part of the Calvin Cycle. Cyclic Electron Flow Aside from the usual route of electron flow as described in the events of the light reactions (i.e., noncyclic or linear electron flow), photo-excited electrons may take a short-circuited route which utilizes Photosystem I but not 24 Photosystem II. The ferrodoxin goes back to the cycle and passes the electron to the cytochrome complex and to the Pc until it reaches P700 chlorophyll instead of transferring the electron to NADP+reductase. Due to this event, no NADPH is produced but ATP is still synthesized. Fig. 2.c. Cyclic Electron Flow 1. Oxidoreductase - catalyze redox reactions; dehydrogenases, oxidases, peroxidases, reductases. 2. Transferases - catalyze group transfer reactions; often require coenzymes. 3. Hydrolases - catalyze hydrolysis reactions. 4. Lyases - lysis of substrate; produce contains double bond. 5. Isomerases - catalyze structural changes; isomerization. The Calvin Cycle • also referred to as light-independent reactions or “dark reactions” • takes place in the stroma of the chloroplast • second stage of photosynthesis that is involved in the formation of sugar from CO2 using chemical energy stored in ATP and NADPH, the products of light reactions The Calvin Cycle Important points to know: • The sugar that is produced in the Calvin Cycle is not the six-carbon glucose that we are familiar with. This is formed later on. What is produced in the Calvin Cycle is a three-carbon sugar known as G3P or glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate. • The Calvin Cycle needs to ‘spin’ three times to make one molecule of G3P from three molecules of CO2. Three Phases of Calvin Cycle: Carbon Fixation • Carbon fixation is a process of incorporating an inorganic carbon molecule, CO2, into an organic material. 25 • In this phase, the CO2 molecule is attached to a five-carbon sugar molecule named ribulose biphosphate (RuBP) aided by an enzyme named rubisco or RuBP carboxylase. Rubisco is believed to be the most abundant protein in the chloroplast and maybe on Earth. • The resulting product, a six-carbon sugar, is extremely unstable and immediately splits in half. The split forms two molecules of a 3-phosphoglycerate (3-carbon). Reduction • A phosphate group (from ATP) is then attached to each 3-phosphoglycerate by an enzyme, forming 1,3-phosphoglycerate. • NADPH swoops in and reduces 1,3-biphosphogycerate to G3P. • For every six G3Ps produced by the Calvin Cycle, five are recycled to regenerate three molecules of RuBP. Only one G3P leaves the cycle to be packaged for use by the cell. • It will take two molecules of G3P to make one molecule of glucose. • The ADP and NADP+ that is formed during the Calvin Cycle will be transported back to the thylakoid membrane and will enter the light reactions. Here, they will be ‘recharged’ with energy and become ATP and NADPH. Regeneration of RuBP • Five molecules of G3P undergo a series of complex enzymatic reactions to form three molecules of RuBP. This costs the cell another three molecules of AT, but also provides another set of RuBP to continue the cycle. What happens to G3P after its release from the cycle? • Two G3Ps can combine together to form either glucose or fructose which are both are six-carbon sugar. • Glucose and fructose can be combined to form sucrose. • Glucose can be connected in chains to form starch. • G3Ps can also be used in lipid and protein synthesis. The cost of making carbohydrate: To make one molecule of G3P, the chloroplast needs: • 3 molecules of CO2 • 9 molecules of ATP • 6 molecules of NADPH What’s New • Visual and Listening Activity: 1.

In aerobic respiration, pyruvic acid molecules enter the mitochondria and through a series of chemical reactions known as the citric acid cycle (Kreb’s cycle) via electron transport chain. In the Kreb’s cycle, the pyruvic acid is converted to carbon dioxide. The electron transport chain accepts the electron from the breakdown products of the Kreb’s cycle and glycolysis via the NADH and FADH2. At the end of the chain, the electrons are combined with hydrogen ions and molecular oxygen to form water. This process can produce ATP. During this process, the glucose molecule is broken down and the carbon atoms released from glucose are combined with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide. In anaerobic respiration, pyruvic acid is converted to lactic acid. There is a production of two ATP molecules for each glucose molecule. Fig. 3.a. Courtesy: Enger, Eldon D. et. Al., (2012).

Krebs cycle 7. Electron transport chain What’s In In Cellular respiration: • Oxygen is reduced to water • Has electron transport chain located within the cristae of the mitochondria, where ATP is produced by chemiosmosis • Has enzyme-catalyzed reactions within the semi-fluid interior • A carbohydrate is oxidized to carbon dioxide Glycolysis-means “sugar-splitting” that occurs in the cytosol of the cell. It does not require oxygen to breakdown glucose into pyruvate. Krebs cycle-completes the metabolic breakdown of glucose to carbon dioxide and produces 2 ATP. Oxidative phosphorylation-a process occurring in mitochondria and accounts for majority of the ATP production. Electron Transport Chain-contains the chain members (carrier and protein complexes, ATP synthase complex and ATP channel protein. These membrane 30 proteins shuttle electrons during the redox reactions. The electrons will be used to produce ATP by chemiosmosis. NADH and FADH2-these are electron acceptor molecules that contain high-energy electrons. They transport the electrons to ETC to produce many more ATPs by oxidative phosphorylation. ATP synthase-is an enzyme that is responsible for the great production of ATPs. This happens when it uses the energy coming from H+ ions to bind ADP and phosphate group together to produce ATP.

A video link is provided: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xGK8z3DXw7E https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUu7SF25tXM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jh0wWMdNkv4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-wE7pbXaXY This can be done at home with precautionary measures. Document your output and submit it via YouTube or Facebook. Just click the video link on how to make the homemade virgin coconut oil and natural vinegar fermentation method. Choose only one for your performance task. 39 Key Concepts: Fermentation refers to the addition of yeast or a specific microorganisms or enzyme to a raw material to produce a desired product. But for the so-called natural fermentation method, we will produce VCO that does not require any addition of microorganisms or substance. When the coconut milk mixture is allowed to stand for at least 10 hours, the VCO will naturally separate from water and protein. Several theories say that the separation of these substances is due to the presence of airborne acetic acid bacteria (Acetobacter aceti). A. aceti breaks the protein bonds in the coconut milk causing the mixture to separate distinctively. Another theory says that the enzyme present in the coconut makes the separation of substances to occur. The so-called ‘fermentation method’ happens when after 16 to 24 hours of settling, the water smells and tastes sour. The so-called ‘natural’ explains that there is no addition of any other substance or microorganism in fermenting the virgin coconut oil. Also the ‘virgin’ in the virgin coconut oil implies that there is no substance added to make the oil. On the other hand, vinegar is a sour-tasting condiment and preservative. It can be prepared by two successive microbial processes. The first phase is done through alcoholic fermentation by a eukaryotic organism called yeast. The second phase is by oxidation of alcohol by a prokaryotic organism called Acetobacter aceti. This bacterium is responsible for converting the alcohol in wine to acetic acid or vinegar. Since coconut is abundant in our country, use this example to show the principle of fermentation process involving microorganisms and the series of reactions that take place as coconut water is converted into vinegar.

Aerobic Respiration Maximum yield of 36 to 38 ATP molecules per glucose Complete breakdown of glucose to carbon dioxide and water with the use of oxygen Multiple metabolic pathways Pyruvate proceeds to acetyl formation in the mitochondrion The presence of enough oxygen in the cell makes the cell perform its job smoothly without burning sensation More efficient in harvesting energy from glucose with estimated 39% energy efficiency (36-38 ATP) in eukaryotic organisms but much higher ATP production (38 to 40 ATP) in prokaryotic organisms Outputs are carbon dioxide, water and ATP Products produce are for biochemical cycling and for the cellular processes that require energy Slow glucose breakdown Electrons in NADH are transferred to electron transport chain Mechanism of ATP synthesis is by substratelevel and oxidative ANSWER KEY O2 is the final electron acceptor of the electron transport system Brain cells in the human body can only live aerobically. They die if molecular oxygen is absent. Anaerobic Respiration Maximum yield of 2 ATP molecules per glucose for obligate anaerobes Partial degradation of glucose without the use of oxygen (obligate anaerobes) Single metabolic pathway (in fermentation) Pyruvate is broken down to ethanol and carbon dioxide or lactate (in fermentation) Cause burning sensation in the muscle during strenuous exercise (in fermentation) Less efficient in harvesting energy from glucose with 2% energy efficiency (for obligate anaerobes) Outputs are lactate, alcohol and carbon dioxide (in fermentation); but reduced inorganic compound in anaerobic respiration Produce numerous products with economic and industrial importance through fermentation Rapid breakdown of glucose Electrons in NADH are transferred to electron transport chain; but in fermentation electrons in NADH are transferred to organic molecule Mechanism of ATP synthesis is by substratelevel and oxidative phosphorylation/chemiosmosis; but in fermentation substrate-level phosphorylation only during glycolysis In anaerobic respiration, inorganic substances like NO3 - or SO4 2- are the final acceptor of the electron transport system; but in fermentation, there is no electron acceptor because it has no electron transport system Some organisms like yeasts (eukaryotic), many bacteria (prokaryotic) and the human muscle cells (eukaryotic) can make enough ATP to survive in facultative anaerobes (can live in the absence or presence of oxygen). But under anaerobic conditions lactic acid fermentation occurs. A facultative anaerobe needs to consume the nutrient at a much faster rate when doing the fermentation or anaerobic process 43 Summary and Conclusion Aerobic respiration requires molecular oxygen to happen in the cells of most eukaryotes and prokaryotes. Here, nutrients are split into a series of enzyme-controlled reactions producing an estimated 36 to 38 ATP per glucose complete breakdown. Molecular oxygen is the final acceptor of the low-energy level electron at the end of the electron transport system that results in the production of water. In anaerobic respiration on the other hand does not require oxygen in splitting nutrients. Some prokaryotes that live in oxygen-free environments such as water logged soil, in ponds where water does not flow, and in the intestines of animals transfer glucose to NADH and then pass the electrons down the electron transport chain that is joined to ATP synthesis by chemiosmosis. Nitrate and sulfate are the final acceptors of electrons. The end products are carbon dioxide, reduced inorganic substances and ATP. In fermentation (as type of anaerobic respiration) there is no electron acceptor because it has no electron transport chain. Its products are either alcohol (and carbon dioxide) or lactate.
