At this point, the reaction rate falls steeply.

Glycolysis § The oxidation of glucose to pyruvic acid produces ATP and NADH
Figure 5. 11 An Overview of Respiration and Fermentation. respiration fermentation Glycolysis produces ATP and reduces NAD+ to NADH while oxidizing glucose to pyruvic acid. In respiration, the pyruvic acid is converted to the first reactant in the Krebs cycle, acetyl Co. A. The Krebs cycle produces some ATP by substratelevel phosphorylation, reduces the electron carriers NAD+ and FAD, and gives off CO 2. Carriers from both glycolysis and the Krebs cycle donate electrons to the electron transport chain. In the electron transport chain, the energy of the electrons is used to produce a great deal of ATP by oxidative phosphorylation. 1 Glycolysis Glucose NADH ATP Pyruvic acid 2 Pyruvic acid Acetyl Co.

Preparatory Stage of Glycolysis § 2 ATP are used § Glucose is split to form 2 glucose-3 -phosphate
Figure 5. 12 An outline of the reactions of glycolysis (Embden-Meyerhof pathway). 1 Glucose enters the cell and is phosphorylated. A molecule of ATP is invested. The product is glucose 6 -phosphate. Glucose 6 -phosphate 2 2 Glucose 6 -phosphate is rearranged to form fructose 6 phosphate. Fructose 6 -phosphate 3 The P from another ATP is used to produce fructose 1, 6 diphosphate, still a six-carbon compound. (Note the total investment of two ATP molecules up to this point. ) Fructose 1, 6 -diphosphate 4 An enzyme cleaves (splits) the sugar into two three-carbon molecules: dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) and glyceraldehyde 3 -phosphate (GP). Glyceraldehyde 3 -phosphate (GP) DHAP is readily converted to GP (the reverse action may also occur). 6 The next enzyme converts each GP to another three-carbon compound, 1, 3 -diphosphoglyceric acid. Because each DHAP molecule can be converted to GP and each GP to 1, 3 -diphosphoglyceric acid, the result is two molecules of 1, 3 -diphosphoglyceric acid for each initial molecule of glucose. GP is oxidized by the transfer of two hydrogen atoms to NAD+ to form NADH. The enzyme couples this reaction with the creation of a high-energy bond between the sugar and a. The Pthree-carbon sugar now has two P groups. 1, 3 -diphosphoglyceric acid 3 -phosphoglyceric acid 5 7 The high-energy P is moved to ADP, forming ATP, the first ATP production of glycolysis. (Since the sugar splitting in step 4, all products are doubled. Therefore, this step actually repays the earlier investment of two ATP molecules. ) 2 -phosphoglyceric acid 8 An enzyme relocates the remaining P of 3 -phosphoglyceric acid to form 2 -phosphoglyceric acid in preparation for the next step. Phosphoenolpyruvic acid (PEP) 9 By the loss of a water molecule, 2 -phosphoglyceric acid is converted to phosphoenolpyruvic acid (PEP). In the process, the phosphate bond is upgraded to a high-energy bond. This high-energy P is transferred from PEP to ADP, forming ATP. For each initial glucose molecule, the result of this step is two molecules of ATP and two molecules of a three-carbon compound called pyruvic acid. 10
Energy-Conserving Stage of Glycolysis § 2 glucose-3 -phosphate are oxidized to 2 pyruvic acid § 4 ATP are produced § 2 NADH are produced
Glycolysis § Glucose + 2 ATP + 2 ADP + 2 PO 4– + 2 NAD+ 2 pyruvic acid + 4 ATP + 2 NADH + 2 H+
Cellular Respiration § Oxidation of molecules liberates electrons for an electron transport chain § ATP is generated by oxidative phosphorylation
Intermediate Step § Pyruvic acid (from glycolysis) is oxidized and decarboxylated
The Krebs Cycle § Oxidation of acetyl Co. A produces NADH and FADH 2
Figure 5. 13 The Krebs cycle. 1 A turn of the cycle begins as enzymes strip off the Co. A portion from acetyl Co. A and combine the remaining twocarbon acetyl group with oxaloacetic acid. Adding the acetyl group produces the sixcarbon molecule citric acid. – 8 Enzymes rearrange chemical bonds, producing three different molecules before regenerating oxaloacetic acid. In step 6, an oxidation produces FADH 2. In step 8, a final oxidation generates NADH and converts malic acid to oxaloacetic acid, which is ready to enter another round of the Krebs cycle. 6 5 ATP is produced by substratelevel phosphorylation. Co. A is removed from succinyl Co. A, leaving succinic acid. 2 – 4 Oxidations generate NADH. Step 2 is a rearrangement. Steps 3 and 4 combine oxidations and decarboxylations to dispose of two carbon atoms that came from oxaloacetic acid. The carbons are released as CO 2, and the oxidations generate NADH from NAD+. During the second oxidation (step 4), Co. A is added into the cycle, forming the compound succinyl Co. A.
The Electron Transport Chain § A series of carrier molecules that are, in turn, oxidized and reduced as electrons are passed down the chain § Energy released can be used to produce ATP by chemiosmosis
