8.1 Overview of Carbohydrate Breakdown Pathways
Photoautotrophs make ATP during photosynthesis and use it to synthesize glucose and other carbohydrates
Most organisms, including photoautotrophs, make ATP by breaking down glucose and other organic compounds
![Page 5: How Cells Release Chemical Energy](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/568146bd550346895db3f3ae/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Comparison of the Main Pathways
Aerobic respiration• Aerobic metabolic pathways (using oxygen) are
used by most eukaryotic cells
Fermentation• Anaerobic metabolic pathways (occur in the
absence of oxygen) are used by prokaryotes and protists in anaerobic habitats
![Page 6: How Cells Release Chemical Energy](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/568146bd550346895db3f3ae/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Comparison of the Main Pathways
Aerobic respiration and fermentation both begin with glycolysis, which converts one molecule of glucose into two molecules of pyruvate
After glycolysis, the two pathways diverge• Fermentation is completed in the cytoplasm,
yielding 2 ATP per glucose molecule• Aerobic respiration is completed in mitochondria,
yielding 36 ATP per glucose molecule
![Page 7: How Cells Release Chemical Energy](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/568146bd550346895db3f3ae/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

Overview of Aerobic Respiration
Three stages• Glycolysis• Acetyl-CoA formation and Krebs cycle• Electron transfer phosphorylation (ATP formation)
C6H12O6 (glucose) + O2 (oxygen) →
CO2 (carbon dioxide) + H2O (water)
• Coenzymes NADH and FADH2 carry electrons and hydrogen

8.1 Key Concepts:Energy From Carbohydrate Breakdown
Various degradative pathways convert the chemical energy of glucose and other organic compounds to the chemical energy of ATP
Aerobic respiration yields the most ATP from each glucose molecule; in eukaryotes, it is completed inside mitochondria
![Page 14: How Cells Release Chemical Energy](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/568146bd550346895db3f3ae/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
8.2 Glycolysis – Glucose Breakdown Starts
Glycolysis starts and ends in the cytoplasm of all prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells
An energy investment of ATP starts glycolysis
![Page 15: How Cells Release Chemical Energy](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/568146bd550346895db3f3ae/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Glycolysis
Two ATP are used to split glucose and form 2 PGAL, each with one phosphate group
Enzymes convert 2 PGAL to 2 PGA, forming 2 NADH
Four ATP are formed by substrate-level phosphorylation (net 2 ATP)
![Page 16: How Cells Release Chemical Energy](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/568146bd550346895db3f3ae/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

8.2 Key Concepts:Glycolysis
Glycolysis is the first stage of aerobic respiration and of anaerobic routes such as fermentation pathways
Enzymes of glycolysis convert glucose to pyruvate
![Page 31: How Cells Release Chemical Energy](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/568146bd550346895db3f3ae/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
8.3 Second Stage of Aerobic Respiration
The second stage of aerobic respiration finishes breakdown of glucose that began in glycolysis
Occurs in mitochondria
Includes two stages: acetyl CoA formation and the Krebs cycle (each occurs twice in the breakdown of one glucose molecule)
![Page 32: How Cells Release Chemical Energy](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/568146bd550346895db3f3ae/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Acetyl CoA Formation
In the inner compartment of the mitochondrion, enzymes split pyruvate, forming acetyl CoA and CO2 (which diffuses out of the cell)
NADH is formed
![Page 33: How Cells Release Chemical Energy](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/568146bd550346895db3f3ae/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
The Krebs Cycle
Krebs cycle• A sequence of enzyme-mediated reactions that
break down 1 acetyl CoA into 2 CO2
• Oxaloacetate is used and regenerated
• 3 NADH and 1 FADH2 are formed
• 1 ATP is formed
![Page 34: How Cells Release Chemical Energy](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/568146bd550346895db3f3ae/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)

8.4 Aerobic Respiration’s Big Energy Payoff
Many ATP are formed during the third and final stage of aerobic respiration
Electron transfer phosphorylation• Occurs in mitochondria• Results in attachment of phosphate to ADP to
form ATP
![Page 41: How Cells Release Chemical Energy](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/568146bd550346895db3f3ae/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Electron Transfer Phosphorylation
Coenzymes NADH and FADH2 donate electrons and H+ to electron transfer chains
Active transport forms a H+ concentration gradient in the outer mitochondrial compartment
H+ follows its gradient through ATP synthase, which attaches a phosphate to ADP
Finally, oxygen accepts electrons and combines with H+, forming water
![Page 42: How Cells Release Chemical Energy](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/568146bd550346895db3f3ae/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)

Summary: The Energy Harvest
Typically, the breakdown of one glucose molecule yields 36 ATP• Glycolysis: 2 ATP• Acetyl CoA formation and Krebs cycle: 2 ATP• Electron transfer phosphorylation: 32 ATP
![Page 44: How Cells Release Chemical Energy](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/568146bd550346895db3f3ae/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)

Animation: Third-stage reactions
In brain and skeletal muscle cells, the yield is 38 ATP.In liver, heart, and kidney cells, it is 36 ATP.

8.3-8.4 Key Concepts:How Aerobic Respiration Ends
The final stages of aerobic respiration break down pyruvate to CO2
Many coenzymes that become reduced deliver electrons and hydrogen ions to electron transfer chains; energy released by electrons flowing through the chains is captured in ATP
Oxygen accepts electrons at ends of the chains
![Page 47: How Cells Release Chemical Energy](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/568146bd550346895db3f3ae/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
8.5 Anaerobic Energy-Releasing Pathways
Fermentation pathways break down carbohydrates without using oxygen
The final steps in these pathways regenerate NAD+ but do not produce ATP
![Page 48: How Cells Release Chemical Energy](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/568146bd550346895db3f3ae/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Fermentation Pathways
Glycolysis is the first stage of fermentation• Forms 2 pyruvate, 2 NADH, and 2 ATP
Pyruvate is converted to other molecules, but is not fully broken down to CO2 and water
• Regenerates NAD+ but doesn’t produce ATP
Provides enough energy for some single-celled anaerobic species
![Page 49: How Cells Release Chemical Energy](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/568146bd550346895db3f3ae/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Two Pathways of Fermentation
Alcoholic fermentation• Pyruvate is split into acetaldehyde and CO2
• Acetaldehyde receives electrons and hydrogen from NADH, forming NAD+ and ethanol
Lactate fermentation• Pyruvate receives electrons and hydrogen from
NADH, forming NAD+ and lactate
![Page 50: How Cells Release Chemical Energy](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/568146bd550346895db3f3ae/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)

8.6 The Twitchers
Slow-twitch muscle fibers (“red” muscles) make ATP by aerobic respiration• Have many mitochondria• Dominate in prolonged activity
Fast-twitch muscle fibers (“white” muscles) make ATP by lactate fermentation• Have few mitochondria and no myoglobin• Sustain short bursts of activity
![Page 53: How Cells Release Chemical Energy](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/568146bd550346895db3f3ae/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Sprinters and Lactate Fermentation
![Page 54: How Cells Release Chemical Energy](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/568146bd550346895db3f3ae/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
8.5-8.6 Key Concepts:How Anaerobic Pathways End
Fermentation pathways start with glycolysis
Substances other than oxygen accept electrons at the end of the pathways
Compared with aerobic respiration, the net yield of ATP from fermentation is small
![Page 55: How Cells Release Chemical Energy](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/568146bd550346895db3f3ae/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
8.7 Alternative Energy Sources in the Body
Pathways that break down molecules other than carbohydrates also keep organisms alive
In humans and other mammals, the entrance of glucose and other organic compounds into an energy-releasing pathway depends on the kinds and proportions of carbohydrates, fats and proteins in the diet
![Page 56: How Cells Release Chemical Energy](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/568146bd550346895db3f3ae/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
The Fate of Glucose at Mealtimeand Between Meals
When blood glucose concentration rises, the pancreas increases insulin secretion• Cells take up glucose faster, more ATP is formed,
glycogen and fatty-acid production increases
When blood glucose concentration falls, the pancreas increases glucagon secretion• Stored glycogen is converted to glucose
![Page 57: How Cells Release Chemical Energy](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/568146bd550346895db3f3ae/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
Energy From Fats
About 78% of an adult’s energy reserves is stored in fat (mostly triglycerides)
Enzymes cleave fats into glycerol and fatty acids• Glycerol products (PGAL) enter glycolysis• Fatty acid products (acetyl-CoA) enter the Krebs
cycle
Compared to carbohydrates, fatty acid breakdown yields more ATP per carbon atom
![Page 58: How Cells Release Chemical Energy](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/568146bd550346895db3f3ae/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
Energy from Proteins
Enzymes split dietary proteins into amino acid subunits, which enter the bloodstream• Used to build proteins or other molecules
Excess amino acids are broken down into ammonia (NH3) and various products that can enter the Krebs cycle
![Page 59: How Cells Release Chemical Energy](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/568146bd550346895db3f3ae/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)

8.7 Key Concepts:Other Metabolic Pathways
Molecules other than glucose are common energy sources
Different pathways convert lipids and proteins to substances that may enter glycolysis or the Krebs cycle
![Page 62: How Cells Release Chemical Energy](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/568146bd550346895db3f3ae/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
8.8 Reflections on Life’s Unity
Life’s diversity and continuity arise from unity at the level of molecules and energy• Energy inputs drive the organization of molecules
into cells (one-way flow of energy)
Energy from the sun sustains life’s organization• Photosynthesizers use energy from the sun to
feed themselves and other forms of life• Aerobic respiration balances photosynthesis
![Page 63: How Cells Release Chemical Energy](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/568146bd550346895db3f3ae/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
