Metabolism: The totality of an organism’s chemical reactions
Catabolism: Energy releasement by breaking down complex molecules to simpler ones.
Anabolism: Energy: is the capacity to cause change. Metabolism is aided by enzymes that select
either an anabolic pathway or a catabolic pathway.
Kinetic energy: is energy that can be associated with relative motion of objects.
Thermal energy: is kinetic energy as associated with the random movement of atoms or molecules.
Potential energy: energy that matter possesses because of its location or structure.
Forms of Energy
1st law of Thermodynamics: is the conservation of energy, it can not be created or destroyed.
2nd Law states that spontaneous changes, increase entropy of the universe.
Entropy is a measure of disorder or randomness.
Laws of energy transformation
Free Energy: is the portion of a system’s energy that can perform work when temperature and pressure are uniform throughout the cell
∆G – change in free energy ∆H- change in enthalpy (∆S): ∆G= ∆H- T∆S
Free-energy change
Organisms live at the cost of free energy and during a spontaneous change, free energy reduces and stability increases.
Maximum stability is equilibrium and the system does no work
Free Energy, Stability, and Equilibrium
Energy coupling: the use of an exergonic process to drive an endergonic one.
Hydrolysis at the terminal phosphate group produces ADP and phosphate and releases free energy
Structure and Hydrolysis of ATP
When ATP goes through hydrolysis it gives off free energy.
It drives an endergonic reaction by giving a phosphate group to reactants.

Chapter 9
Catabolic Pathways Cellular respiration – how we obtain
energy from the food that we eat. A cell must make up the ATP it uses. Two ways of replenishing ATP:
◦ Fermentation= the degradation of sugars with out oxygen
◦ Aerobic Respiration= Oxygen is consumed as a reactant along with the organic “fuel”
Glucose + Oxygen -> Carbon dioxide + Water + ATP
Chapter 9
Oxidation-Reduction reactions Oxidation - The LOSS of electrons Reduction – The ADDING of electronsNa + Cl Na+ + Cl-
Redox Reactions
Electron moves to Chlorine.
Sodium lost an electron, making it have a POSITIVE charge
Since Chlorine gained an electron, it got a NEGATIVE charge!
The electron donor is known as the REDUCING AGENT
The electron acceptor is the OXIDIZING AGENT
In Cellular Respiration glucose is oxidized to CO2 and O2 is reduced to H2O. This means that glucose gives up an electron to Oxygen, and when that happens, water and energy are formed
The electrons from the organic compounds (glucose) are passed from NAD+, making it NADH (reducing. It GAINS an electron). NADH passes the electrons to an electron transport chain.
NAD+ and NADH
The electron transport chain conducts the electrons to O2 while releasing energy. The energy makes ATP.
Glycolysis – Occurs in the Cytosol. It breaks down glucose into two molecules of pyruvate.
Citric Acid Cycle – Occurs in the Mitochondrial matrix. Completes glucose breakdown by oxidizing the derivative of pyruvate to CO2
Oxidative Phosphorylation – Uses the electron transport chain and chemiosmosis to produce ATP.
The 3 stages of Cellular Respiration
Energy investment stage:◦ 2 ATP are used
Energy pay off stage:◦ 4 ADP + 4℗ make 4 ATP◦ 2 NADH + 2H+ are
made Net Gain
◦ 2 pyruvate + 2 H2O◦ 2 ATP◦ NADH + 2 H+
1. Glycolysis
Pyruvate is converted into Acetyl CoA by giving off a CO2 molecule and adding Coenzyme A.
Keep in mind that there are 2 pyruvates. So, all of the gained molecules in the figure is multiplied by 2.
Total net gain (from BOTH pyruvates’ citric cycle): ◦ 2 ATP ◦ 6 NADH◦ 4 CO2◦ 2 FADH
2. Citric Acid Cycle
The NADH’s and the FADH’s made in the Citric Acid Cycle provide the energy that works to pump H+ across the membrane then back through the ATP Synthase.
3a. Electron Transport Chain
The ATP Synthase basically takes the H+ ions, uses them as an energy source to squeeze ADP and ℗ together to make ATP.
3b. Chemiosmosis
Glycosis – 2 ATP Citric Acid Cycle – 2 ATP Electron Transport + Chemiosmosis ~ 32 or
34 ATP All together about 36 to 38 ATP is produced
from a single molecule of glucose!
The total gain
Both occur in the cytosol after glycolysis
Alcohol Fermentation – The pyruvate is converted into ethanol. First, CO2 is released which is hen converted into 2 Acetaldehyde. Second, the acetaldehyde is reduced by NADH to ethanol.
Lactic Acid Fermentation – Pyruvate is directly reduced by NADH to for lactate. No CO2 is released.
Facultative anarobes – can use BOTH Fermentation and respiration.
Fermentation
Since Humans and animals don’t eat only glucose, cellular respiration accepts the wide range of proteins, carbs, and fats to use for glycolysis. Catabolism pathways can take electrons from other organic molecules and use them for cellular respiration.
Anabolic pathways use molecules directly from food or they can use them to make other materials through glycolysis or citric acid cycle.

Describe the process of Cell Respiration. Remember to include Glycolysis, Electron Transport chain, Citric Acid Cycle, and Chemiosmosis.
Glycolysis takes a glucose molecule and splits it into 2 pyruvates. It produces a net total of 2 water, 2 ATP, 2 NADH, and 2 H+. The citric acid cycle takes the pyruvate, producing CO2, more NADH, ATP, and FADH2. Electrons gained from the citric acid cycle are carried to the electron transport. Then they are pumped across an H+ gradient. The gradient helps power ATP synthase which makes the most ATP in cell respiration.
Describe the process of respiration when no oxygen is present. Be sure to include the outcomes of both Lactic acid fermentation and alcohol fermentation.
In alcohol fermentation, after glycolysis, the pyruvates release carbon dioxide. Acetaldehyde is formed and reduced by NADH, resulting in Ethanol.
In lactate fermentation, the pyruvate is directly reduced by NADH to produce lactate.
Chapter 10
Chloroplasts The green color from a plant is because of
chlorophyll the green pigment located in the chloroplasts.
Chloroplasts are mainly found In the mesophyll cell— tissue interior of the leaf.
The equation for photosynthesis is: 6CO2 + 12 H2O + light energy C6H12O6 + 6 O2
+ 6 H2O
Van Niel discovered that plants split H2O to give a source of electrons and incorporating them into sugar molecules.
Photosynthesis is a redox reaction : H2O is oxidized while CO2 is reduced.
There are two stages in Photosynthesis:
Light reactions: the photo part of photosynthesis
Calvin Cycle: the synthesis part. Light reactions split water releasing
O2, produce ATP, and form NADPH. Calvin cycle makes sugar from CO2, uses ATP and NADPH
for reduction
Pigments absorb visible lights There are three types of pigments in
chloroplasts: Chlorophyll a: participates directly in light
reactions Chlorophyll b: accessory pigment Carotenoids: a group of accessory
pigments
The absorption of a photon increases an electron to an orbital of higher energy. The excited state is unstable and the electrons tend to fall back to a ground state, giving off heat or light.
Light Reactions
Photosystems are composed of a protein complex called a reaction center complex surrounded by several light-harvesting complexes.
They funnel photon energy to the reaction center complex
A special pair of chlorophyll a absorbs energy and transfers the electron to a primary electron acceptor
Photosystems
Linear Electron Flow
Occurs during the light reactions of photosynthesis
Pigment molecules get excited, energy is relayed to the P680 pair and energy and water’s electrons are accepted from the Primary acceptor. Electrons go through the electron transport chain creating ATP. The electrons hit the P700 pair. More photon energy is absorbed and given to the P700. Electrons are given to the primary acceptor, they pass through another electron transport chain, and the enzyme NADP+ reductase produces NADPH from NADP+ and H+
Only uses photosystem 1 and not photosystem 2. It produces ATP but not NADPH or O2
Cyclic electron flow
Both include redox reactions of electron transport chains that generate of an H+ gradient across a membrane. ATP synthase is also used in both chloroplasts and mitochondria.
However, in mitochondria organic molecules supply the electrons and in chloroplast water supplies the electrons.
Chloroplasts vs. Mitochondria
The Calvin Cycle
Occurs in the Stoma. Uses the electrons from NADPH and the
energy from ATP. Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P) exits
when three CO2 are fixed and converted to glucose.
Carbon fixation occurs when CO2 is combined with a five-carbon sugar, or Ribulose bisphosphate (RuBP)
C3 plants - first organic product of carbon fixation is a three compound.
Photorespiration: occurs in the light and consumes O2 while producing CO2
Photorespiration
Preface the Calvin Cycle with and alternate form of carbon fixation that forms a four carbon compound as it’s first product.
Unique leaf structure:◦ bundle-sheath cells are arranged into tightly
packed sheaths around the vein◦ Mesophyll cells are loosely arranged between
the bundle sheath and the leaf surface
C4 Plants
Open their stoma at night. Incorporates CO2 into organic acids and
they are stored in mesophyll cells In the day the stoma close and CO2 is
released from the organic acids for the Calvin cycle.

response
Describe what happens in the Calvin cycle. Be sure to define carbon fixation.
A carbon goes through the cycle attaches to ribulose bisphosphate because of rubisco, an enzyme. The resulting molecule receives a phosphate from ATP. NADPH comes along and reduces and G3P results from it. In the regeneration of carbon, carbon skeletons of 5 G3P are rearranged into three molecules of RuBP and RuBP can receive CO2 again.

It showed that the rates of cellular respiration are greater in germinating peas than in non-germinating peas. It also showed that temperature and respiration rates are directly proportional; as temperature increases, respiration rates increase as well. Because of this fact, the peas contained by the respirometers placed in the water at 10C carried on cellular respiration at a lower rate than the peas in respirometers placed in the room temperature water. The non-germinating peas consumed far less oxygen than the germinating peas.
