How is a Marathoner Different from a Sprinter? • Long-distance runners have many slow fibers in their muscles – Slow fibers break down glucose for ATP production aerobically (using oxygen) – These muscle cells can sustain repeated, long contractions Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
• Sprinters have more fast muscle fibers – Fast fibers make ATP without oxygen— anaerobically – They can contract quickly and supply energy for short bursts of intense activity Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
• The dark meat of a cooked turkey is an example of slow fiber muscle – Leg muscles support sustained activity • The white meat consists of fast fibers – Wing muscles allow for quick bursts of flight Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Without Oxygen (Anaerobic) Fermentation occurs when cells do not have oxygen. The electron transport chain is stopped. Glycolysis is the only ATP producing mechanism. Lactic Acid and Alcoholic fermentation. Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
INTRODUCTION TO CELLULAR RESPIRATION • Nearly all the cells in our body break down sugars for ATP production • Most cells of most organisms harvest energy aerobically, like slow muscle fibers – The aerobic harvesting of energy from sugar is called cellular respiration – Cellular respiration yields CO 2, H 2 O, and a large amount of ATP Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
6. 1 Breathing supplies oxygen to our cells and removes carbon dioxide • Breathing and cellular respiration are closely related O 2 BREATHING CO 2 Lungs CO 2 Bloodstream O 2 Muscle cells carrying out CELLULAR RESPIRATION Sugar + O 2 ATP + CO 2 + H 2 O Figure 6. 1 Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
6. 2 Cellular respiration banks energy in ATP molecules • Cellular respiration breaks down glucose molecules and banks their energy in ATP – The process uses O 2 and releases CO 2 and H 2 O Glucose Oxygen gas Figure 6. 2 A Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Carbon dioxide Water Energy

6. 3 Connection: The human body uses energy from ATP for all its activities • ATP powers almost all cell and body activities Table 6. 3 Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
BASIC MECHANISMS OF ENERGY RELEASE AND STORAGE 6. 4 Cells tap energy from electrons transferred from organic fuels to oxygen • Glucose gives up energy as it is oxidized Loss of hydrogen atoms Energy Glucose Gain of hydrogen atoms Figure 6. 4 Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
6. 5 Hydrogen carriers such as NAD+ shuttle electrons in redox reactions • Enzymes remove electrons from glucose molecules and transfer them to a coenzyme OXIDATION Dehydrogenase and NAD+ REDUCTION Figure 6. 5 Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
6. 6 Redox reactions release energy when electrons “fall” from a hydrogen carrier to oxygen • NADH delivers electrons to a series of electron carriers in an electron transport chain – As electrons move from carrier to carrier, their energy is released in small quantities Ener g avai y releas lable e for m d and no w akin g AT P EL of th ECTRO e ele N ctro CARRI n tra E nspo RS rt ch ain Figure 6. 6 Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Electron flow
• In an explosion, 02 is reduced in one step Energy released as heat and light Figure 6. 6 B Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
6. 7 Two mechanisms generate ATP • Cells use the energy released by “falling” electrons to pump H+ ions across a membrane – The energy of the gradient is harnessed to make ATP by the process of chemiosmosis High H+ concentration Membrane Electron transport chain ATP synthase Energy from Low H+ concentration Figure 6. 7 A Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings ATP synthase uses gradient energy to make ATP

• ATP can also be made by transferring phosphate groups from organic molecules to ADP – This process is called substrate-level phosphorylation Enzyme Adenosine Organic molecule (substrate) Adenosine New organic molecule (product) Figure 6. 7 B Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
STAGES OF CELLULAR RESPIRATION AND FERMENTATION 6. 8 Overview: Respiration occurs in three main stages • Cellular respiration oxidizes sugar and produces ATP in three main stages – Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm – The Krebs cycle and the electron transport chain occur in the mitochondria Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings

6. 10 Pyruvic acid is chemically groomed for the Krebs cycle • Each pyruvic acid molecule is broken down to form CO 2 and a two-carbon acetyl group, which enters the Krebs cycle Pyruvic acid Figure 6. 10 Acetyl Co. A (acetyl coenzyme A) CO 2 Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
6. 11 The Krebs cycle completes the oxidation of organic fuel, generating many NADH and FADH 2 molecules Acetyl Co. A • The Krebs cycle is a series of reactions in which enzymes strip away electrons and H+ from each acetyl group KREBS CYCLE Figure 6. 11 A Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings 2 CO 2
2 carbons enter cycle Oxaloacetic acid 1 Citric acid CO 2 leaves cycle 5 KREBS CYCLE 2 Malic acid 4 Alpha-ketoglutaric acid 3 CO 2 leaves cycle Succinic acid Step 1 Acetyl Co.

Figure 6. 11 B Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Steps 4 and 5 Redox reactions generate FADH 2 and NADH.
6. 12 Chemiosmosis powers most ATP production • The electrons from NADH and FADH 2 travel down the electron transport chain to oxygen • Energy released by the electrons is used to pump H+ into the space between the mitochondrial membranes • In chemiosmosis, the H+ ions diffuse back through the inner membrane through ATP synthase complexes, which capture the energy to make ATP Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings

6. 15 Fermentation is an anaerobic alternative to aerobic respiration • Under anaerobic conditions, many kinds of cells can use glycolysis alone to produce small amounts of ATP – But a cell must have a way of replenishing NAD+ Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
• In alcoholic fermentation, pyruvic acid is converted to CO 2 and ethanol – This recycles NAD+ to keep glycolysis working released GLYCOLYSIS Glucose 2 Pyruvic acid Figure 6. 15 A Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings 2 Ethanol Figure 6. 15 C
