  phosphorylation

11
Phosphorylation

• Adding a phosphate group to a molecule.

34
Krebs Cycle

• Produces most of the cell's energy in the form of
  NADH and FADH2
• Does NOT require O2

35
Comment

• The ATPs produced directly in Krebs Cycle and in
  Glycolysis are by
• Substrate-level phosphorylation
• The Pi group is transferred from a substrate to
  ADP.

36

• Lets see how the Krebs cycle works
• Go to here http//www.science.smith.edu/department
  s/Biology/Bio231/
• And click on Citric Acid Cycle
• Just another name for the Krebs Cycle!

37
Electron Transport Chain

• ETC or Electron Transport System (ETS).
• A collection of proteins that are structurally
  linked into units.

38
ETC

• Uses sets of Cytochromes, Fe containing proteins
  to pass electrons.
• The Cytochromes alternate between RED and OX
  forms and pass electrons down to O2

39

40
ETC

• Function Convert NADH and FADH2 into ATP.
• Location Mitochondria cristae.

41
ETC - Requirements

• NADH or FADH2
• ADP
• O2

42
ETC - Products

• NAD and FAD
• ATP
• H2O

43
ETC - ATP Yields

• Each NADH -- 3 ATP
• Each FADH2 -- 2 ATP

44
Chemiosmotic Hypothesis

• ETC energy is used to move H (protons) across
  the cristae membrane.
• ATP is generated as the H diffuse back into the
  matrix.

46
ATP Synthase

• Uses the flow of H to make ATP.
• Works like an ion pump in reverse, or like a
  waterwheel under the flow of H water.

• Lets go! Here

50
Catabolism of Proteins and Fats

• Can use these as energy sources as well!
• Proteins first broken down into AAs
• Amino group (containing N) is removed from each
  AA by deamination
• Converts the remaining C chain into a molecule to
  be used in the Krebs Cycle or Glycolysis

51
Cell Resp of Fat

• Fats are broken down into FA glycerol
• -CH2 links and many H in tails provide much
  energy
• FA oxidized in mitochondria where enzymes remove
  the 2C acetyl groups from whole FA until all is
  converted goes to bind w/ coenzyme A
  acetyl-CoA
• Process is b oxidation

52

• Results?
• Respiration of a 6C FA yields 20 more ATP than
  the same glucose
• Also weighs less than 2/3 as much as glucose,
  therefore gram for gram, fat has more
  kilocalories than glucose
• Lets see that in motion!

• Lactic Acid is a toxin and causes soreness and
  stiffness in muscles.

60

62
Aerobic vs Anaerobic

• Aerobic - Rs with O2
• Anaerobic - Rs without O2
• Aerobic - All three Rs steps.
• Anaerobic - Glycolysis only.

63
Strict vs. Facultative

• Strict - can only do Rs this one way.
• Facultative - can switch Rs types depending on O2
  availability. Ex - yeast

64
Question

• Since yeast can do both aerobic and anaerobic Rs,
  which is the better process if given a choice?
• Check the ATP yields from both processes.

65
ATP yields by Rs type

• Anaerobic - Glycolysis only Gets 2 ATPs per
  glucose.
• Aerobic - Glycolysis, Krebs, and ETC. Generates
  many more ATPs per glucose.

66
Aerobic ATP yield

• Glycolysis - 2 ATPS, 2 NADHs
• Krebs - 2 ATPS, 8 NADHs, 2 FADH2
• Each NADH 3 ATP
• Each FADH2 2 ATP

67
ATP Sum

• 10 NADH x 3 30 ATPs
• 2 FADH2 x 2 4 ATPs
• 2 ATPs (Gly) 2 ATPs
• 2 ATPs (Krebs) 2 ATPs
• Max 38 ATPs per glucose

68
However...

• Some energy is used in shuttling the NADH from
  Glycolysis into the mitochondria.
• Actual ATP yield 36/glucose

69
Yeast

• Would rather do aerobic Rs it has 18x more
  energy per glucose.
• But, anaerobic will keep you alive if oxygen is
  not present.

70
Importance of Rs

• Convert food to ATP.
• Provides materials for use in other cellular
  pathways.

71
Other Importances of Respiration

• Alcohol Industry - almost every society has a
  fermented beverage.
• Baking Industry - many breads use yeast to
  provide bubbles to raise the dough.

72
Question

• Why is the alcohol content of wine always around
  12-14?
• Alcohol is toxic and kills the yeast at high
  concentrations.

73
Swiss Cheese

• Holes are bubbles of CO2 from fermentation.

74

  required items for each.
• Appreciate the importances of Rs.
