Cellular Respiration
Cellular respiration breaks glucose molecules down and forms CO2 and water. The goal of cellular respiration is to trap the energy released by breaking down the glucose. Cellular respiration occurs in four stages: 1. 2. 3. 4. Glycolysis - 10 steps in cytoplasm Pyruvate Oxidation - 1 step in mitochondrion matrix Krebs cycle - 8 steps in mitochondrion matrix Electron transport chain (oxidative phosphorylation) - multi-step in inner mitochondrion membrane
Throughout these four stages, energy is "removed" in one of two ways: 1) Substrate-level phophorylation: ATP is formed using enzymes Used in: glycolysis, Krebs cycle 2) Oxidative phosphorylation: ATP is formed using redox reactions Used in: e- transport chain (ETC)
STAGE 1 - Glycolysis
Overview:
In the inner mitochondrion membrane there are many compounds called cytochromes. These compounds have the ability to attract electrons, but each specific compound has a different electronegativity. This means that cytochromes can only attract electrons at a certain energy level: some attract electrons that are at a high energy level, while others can only attract electrons that are at a low energy level. The cytochromes are arranged in order of increasing electronegativity to form chains. The process begins when the first cytochrome gains 2 high-energy electrons. Once the electrons are within the first cytochrome, the energy level of the electrons is lowered, and the free energy is used to pump two H+ ions into the intermembrane space of the mitochondrion (see mitochondrion). Now that the electrons are at a lower energy level, the second cytochrome is able to attract them. This lowers the energy of the electrons again, and releases free energy to pump two more
H+ ions into the intermembrane space. The electrons are passed along the chain like this until they reach the last cytochrome. Here the low-energy electrons are removed by an oxygen atom. The electrons used in the ETC are from electron carriers in the matrix: NADH and FADH2. The electrons that the two carriers carry are at slightly different energy levels, and so they enter the ETC at different points. The electrons of NADH enter at the first cytochrome, and so they are able to pump 3 pairs (6) H+ through, while the less energetic electrons of FADH2 enter at a later point in the chain and only pump 2 pairs (4) H+ ions through. After a while, the concentration of H+ ions in the intermembrane space is much greater than the concentration in the matrix. Naturally, the H+ ions in the intermembrane space have a tendency to move to the less concentrated space in the matrix (THE SECOND LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS!), but to do that they must pass through an ATP synthase molecule. As the H+ ions pass through the ATP synthase, into the matrix, they lose energy. This free energy is enough to combine ADP + phosphate to produce ATP. Finally we have energy which the cell can use! Because there was so much NADH and FADH2 produced in the first 3 stages of cellular respiration, the ETC chain produces a lot of ATP.
