Lecture Overview
•
All organisms drive their metabolism with
ATP generated from
•
Rearrangement of chemical bonds

Cellular Respiration
•
Release of energy stored in organic compounds
–
Carbohydrate
–
Fats
–
Proteins (net energy loss)
•
Oxygen is consumed as a reactant
•
Carbon dioxide and water are byproducts
•
Energy is used indirectly
– trapped as ATP 4/10/2020

Electron Transport Chain
•
OCCURS in MITOCHONDRIAL INNER
MEMBRANE or PROKARYTOIC CELL
MEMBRANE
• linked to Glycolysis and Krebs cycle
•
Electrons passed from NADH to oxygen
•
Does not make ATP directly but through chemiosmosis
Large Free energy drop ( 53 kcal/mol) is broken into a series of smaller steps that release energy in manageable amounts

Oxidation is the loss of electrons to any electron acceptor
Although oxygen is the usual electron acceptor other electron acceptors include
NAD+

2 Ways to Produce ATP
•
Substrate level phosphorylation
– produces few molecules of ATP in aerobes (2
ATP from the respiration of 1 molecule of glucose)
•
Proton motor force (chemiosmosis)
– produces most of the ATP in aerobes (about 30
ATP from the complete respiration of glucose to
CO
2 and H

O)

16 Substrate Level Phosphorylation
• more primitive method
Examples: 2 steps in glycolysis where
• ADP + Substrate-P -> ATP + substrate
• Note that the phosphate comes from a phosphorylated substrate, not from Pi
• 2 ADP + Phosphoenolpyruvate -> pyruvate + 2 ATP

17 Proton Motor Force
ATP production
ATP synthase/ FoF1 complex
• More advanced method
• Proton transport across a membrane with F o
F
1 reaction:complex powers the following
• ADP + P i
-> ATP
• Note that the phosphate comes from P i
(inorganic phosphate)
• This is the major ATP source for aerobic bacteria, mitochondria and chloroplasts
