Metabolism II
Flows into an ecosystem as sunlight and leaves as heat
¥ Catabolic Pathways: (3 things)
¥ Yield energy by oxidizing organic fuels
¥ The breakdown of organic molecules is exergonic
¥ Results in the production of ATP
¥ Two types of pathways:
Ð Fermentation
Ð Cellular respiration
¥ Metabolism involves the transfer of electrons
Ð These are oxidation reduction reactions: ____________________
Redox reactions
¥ Molecules can ___________ or ____________ electrons
accept or donate
Ð _____________= accepted electrons
Ð ____________= donated electrons
Reduced
Oxidized
__________________
Ð A molecule is reduced when it gains an electron
Ð A molecule is reduced when it gains a proton and an electron
¥ A hydrogen atom
¥ Reduction
\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ Ð Three ways to oxidize a molecule ¥ Losing a hydrogen atom ¥ Losing an electron ¥ By gaining an oxygen atom
¥ Oxidation
Ð Carrier Molecules
Ð Electrons are not bouncing around free in the cytoplasm
¥ Are transferred on carrier molecules
Carrier molecules are usually Usually transferred in the form of a
Hydrogen Atom
Ð Carrier molecules
¥ Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotid (NAD + )
¥ Nicotinamide adenine Dinucleotide phosphate (NADP+)
¥ Flavine adenine Dinucleotide (FAD)
In a Redox reaction the carrier molecule is
NAD+
¥ Respiration is a cumulative function of three metabolic stages
Ð Glycolysis
Ð The Citric Acid Cycle
Ð Electron Transport Chain
The purpose of Cellular Respiration is to make
ATP
=Overview of Cellular Respiration
(Glucose Catabolism)
Glycolysis takes place is the
cytosol
Ð Glycolysis is the first step
¥ This splits glucose into two pyruvate
¥ Produces a net of two ATP
¥ Produces a net of two NADH+ H+
The pyruvate can go to fermentation to produce
acid or alcohol
Ð The Pyruvate can go to the Kreb’s cycle in the ______________
mitochondria ¥ This will produce Ð CO2 Ð NADH+ H+ Ð FADH2
¥ The carrier molecules send electrons to the
—
ETC
Ð The ETC
¥ Takes the electrons
¥ Uses them to pump hydrogen ions across a membrane
¥ Uses this energy for producing ATP
¥ Glycolysis
Ð Means “splitting of sugar”
Ð Breaks down glucose into pyruvate
Ð Occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell
Ð harvests energy by oxidizing glucose to pyruvate
¥ Glycolysis consists of two
(4) major phases
Ð Energy investment phase
Ð Energy payoff phase
Ð Glycolysis energy investment phase
Ð Glucose
¥ Receives a phosphate ¥ Changed to Fructose-6-phosphate ¥ Receives another phosphate Ð Now, Fructose 1,6-phosphate ¥ It is now split Ð G-3-p Ð DHAP Costs 2 ATP
Energy Investment Phase
