It occurs in the cytoplasm and is an anaerobic process.Glycolysis involves the following stages:phosphorylation of glucose to glucose phosphate, using ATPproduction of triose phosphateoxidation of triose phosphate to pyruvate with a net gain of ATP and reduced NAD.If respiration is only anaerobic, pyruvate can be converted to ethanol or lactate using reduced NAD. The oxidised NAD produced in this way can be used in further glycolysis.If respiration is aerobic, pyruvate from glycolysis enters the mitochondrial matrix by active transport.Aerobic respiration in such detail as to show that:pyruvate is oxidised to acetate, producing reduced NAD in the processacetate combines with coenzyme A in the link reaction to produce acetylcoenzyme Aacetylcoenzyme A reacts with a four-carbon molecule, releasing coenzyme A and producing a six-carbon molecule that enters the Krebs cyclein a series of oxidation-reduction reactions, the Krebs cycle generates reduced coenzymes and ATP by substrate-level phosphorylation, and carbon dioxide is lostsynthesis of ATP by oxidative phosphorylation is associated with the transfer of electrons down the electron transfer chain and passage of protons across inner mitochondrial membranes and is catalysed by ATP synthase embedded in these membranes (chemiosomotic theory)other respiratory substrates include the breakdown products of lipids and amino acids, which enter the Krebs cycle.Key word list for 3.5.2AerobicConnective with the presence of free oxygen.

During respiration a chemical reaction occurs in which sugars are oxidised to release energy. Carbon dioxide and water are released during these reactions. Glucose enters cells by diffusion and facilitated diffusion. When there is a shortage of oxygen, anaerobic respiration in muscles produces lactate.Carbohydrates and fats store chemical energy, these organic molecules are broken down. The energy that is released from breaking the bonds is used to synthesise ATP. ATP is known as the universal energy currency and drives biological processes and chemical reactions that occur within cells. The sum of chemical reactions that occur in the body is known as metabolism. Metabolic reactions can either be anabolic or catabolic.Anabolic – building larger molecules from smaller molecules – requires energy as its making bondsCatabolic – breaking larger molecules into smaller molecules – releases energy as its breaking bonds320473031911700420687524257000Respiration is known as a metabolic pathway as it is a many stepped process with each step controlled and catalysed by a specific enzyme.

It occurs outside of the mitochondria in the cytoplasm of all living cells. There are two stages: phosphorylation (1-2) and oxidation (4).

After a period of anaerobic respiration lactate is oxidised back into pyruvate. The oxygen needed to do this is known as the oxygen debt and it is the reason you breathe heavier after a period of intense exercise. Pyruvate can be oxidised back into CO2 and H2O via the Krebs Cycle. Some lactate is converted to glycogen and stored in muscle or liver cells.Recall Questions: What is the first stage of respiration?Where does the first stage take place in the cell?

The theory of chemiosmosis states that the energy in a chemical gradient established by electron movement is used to generate ATP. This movement of protons (H+) down the concentration gradient releases energy that is used to create ATP from ADP + Pi in cellular respiration as well as photosynthesis. Chemiosmosis depends on the creation of proton concentration gradient. This energy comes from high-energy (excited) electrons. Electrons are raised to this higher energy level in 2 ways.Photosynthesis – Electrons found within pigment molecules in chloroplasts (e.g. Chlorophyll) are excited by absorbing light from the SunRespiration – High energy electrons are released when chemical bonds in glucose are broken down within mitochondria.In respiration OP takes place within the folded inner membrane of the mitochondria called cristae. Excited electrons are taken to an electron transport chain (ETC) in the mitochondrial membrane by the reduced coenzymes NAD and FAD. When they are oxidised, they release protons and electrons. The electrons pass along the ETC through a series of redox reactions, releasing energy. The energy is used to move protons into the intermembrane space. They diffuse back, down the concentration gradient, through ATP synthase which combines ADP and Pi to produce ATP. Three protons are required to synthesis one ATP molecule. At the end of the ETC the electrons, protons and oxygen (from the blood) combine to form water. This means that oxygen is the final electron acceptor in the ETC. 96693347691Intermembrane space00Intermembrane spaceEvidence to support chemiosmotic theory: The proton gradient across the inner membrane can be measured as it corresponds to a pH gradient.Isolated ATP synthase enzymes can produce ATP using a proton gradient even if no electron transport is occurring.Chemicals that block the ETC inhibit the formation of a proton gradient and prevent ATP synthesis.Calculating the Total ATPATP produced before the ETC:4 molecules of ATP are produced in glycolysis (2 are used up so NET is only 2)2 molecules of ATP are produced from two turns of the Krebs cycle. Each reduced NAD can produce 2.5 ATP and each reduced FAD can produce 1.5 ATP. ATP produced in the ETC:Glycolysis = 2 x reduced NAD = 5 ATPLink Reaction = 2 x reduced NAD = 5 ATPKrebs Cycle = 6 x reduced NAD = 15 ATPKrebs Cycle = 2 reduced FAD = 3 ATPRespiration Total = 32 ATPEfficiency: The theoretical yield of 32 ATPs for each glucose molecule is rarely achieved. In fact, respiration is only about 32% efficient because: Some ATP is used up moving hydrogen from reduced NAD made during glycolysis into the mitochondria. Some ATP is used up moving pyruvate into the mitochondria by active transport.Some energy is used to generate heat. This helps to maintain a suitable body temperature for enzyme-controlled reactions.Recall Questions:What is oxidative phosphorylation?What is chemiosmosis?Where do the electrons come from at the start of the electron transport chain?What is the energy released from electrons in the electron transport chain used to do?

Fatty acids are converted to Acetyl CoA.Lipids store and release 2x as much energy as carbohydrates.Proteins Proteins have to be hydrolysed into amino acidsThen deaminated (removal of amine group) before they can enter the respiratory pathway via pyruvate. This requires ATP, so the net production of ATP from protein is reduced.Gram for gram, in terms of net energy release biological macromolecules are arranged in this order.Lipids > Alcohols > Proteins > CarbohydratesThe respiratory quotient of a substrate is the ratio of CO2 to O2 produced/consumed to break down that molecule.?RQ=CO2 producedO2 consumedThe balanced symbol equation for aerobic respiration is 6O2 + C6H12O6 6CO2 + 6H2O therefore:Carbohydrates RQ=CO2 producedO2 consumed = RQ=66 = 1.0RQ Proteins = 0.8-0.9RQ Lipids = 0.7If the respiratory quotient is calculated to be greater than one, it indicates anaerobic respiration is occurring because more carbon dioxide is being produced than oxygen being consumed.Practice Questions: Suggest what the following RQ values indicate about the type of respiration occurring in an organism:1.100.980.77379666765520Calculate the RQ of the insect at rest and in flightWhich substrate is used being used when at rest an in flight?Use the data in the table to suggest the likely diet of each genus of honeypot ant: 2540762000Exam Question:Q1.In an investigation, the effects of caffeine on performance during exercise were measured.

The researchers found that, when the athletes were given the drink containing caffeine, their mean RQ was 0.85. When given the drink without caffeine their mean RQ was 0.92.The researchers concluded that when the athletes had caffeine they used glycogen more slowly than when they did not have caffeine, and that the store of glycogen in their muscles was used up less quickly during the exercise.Explain the evidence from the information above and from the table which supports these conclusions.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________(3Homework: IntroductionThis worksheet asks you to look at alternative substrates for respiration. This will give you a more realistic idea of respiration, as it rarely just involves the metabolism of glucose or carbohydrates. You will need a good knowledge of aerobic respiration. You will also need your knowledge of common biological molecules.Learning outcomesAfter completing this worksheet you should be able to:describe and apply the difference in relative energy values of carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins as respiratory substratesapply knowledge and understanding of practical investigations into the effect of factors such as temperature, substrate concentration, and different respiratory substrates on the rate of respirationstate that glucose is not the only substrate available for respirationexplain the different ATP outputs from the different substratesexplain what the respiratory quotient is.BackgroundRespiratory substratesThe normal substrate for respiration is glucose. Although there is some glucose in the blood, most is stored as glycogen in the liver and muscles. When these reserves run low, many animal cells are able to use fats without the need to convert them to sugars. The fats are first broken down into fatty acids and glycerol. Cells can also use protein as a respiratory substrate. This is only when carbohydrate and fat stores have been used up. Proteins must first be broken down into amino acids and then the amine group removed via a process called deamination. This produces molecules called keto acids.Glycerol, fatty acids, and keto acids do not enter the respiratory pathway at the same place that glucose would. In fact there are several places where each can enter the pathway. The diagram below shows how some of these molecules can be utilised during aerobic respiration.Figure 1Just like glucose, glycerol must undergo phosphorylation for its conversion to triose phosphate. This process requires the hydrolysis of one ATP molecule but also generates three ATP molecules.Fatty acids are converted to acetyl coenzyme A in a process called β-oxidation. Each acetyl coenzyme A molecule produced only requires two carbon atoms from the fatty acid chain, so each molecule of acid can produce many molecules of acetyl coenzyme A. These then enter the Krebs cycle as usual.The respiratory quotient (RQ) is one way of finding which substrate is being used for respiration. RQ is the ratio of the amount of carbon dioxide produced to the amount of oxygen used up. During the respiration of glucose, six molecules of carbon dioxide are produced for every six molecules of oxygen used, so the ratio is one to one or 1.0. The table below shows the RQ values of common substrates.SubstrateRQGlucose1.0Protein0.9Fats0.7C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O so: QuestionsState the net gain of ATP molecules during glycolysis from where glycerol enters the chemical pathway, and describe it.(3 marks)About 200 molecules of ATP are produced during the respiration of a molecule of fat. Explain how so many ATP molecules are produced.(3 marks)Using your knowledge of anaerobic and aerobic respiration together with the information provided, determine whether any of glycerol, fatty acids, or keto acids can be used in anaerobic respiration. Using your knowledge of where glycerol, fatty acids, and keto acids join the respiratory pathway and which parts of aerobic respiration stop when there is no oxygen available, determine whether these molecules can be used for anaerobic respiration.(2 marks)Palmitin (C51H98O6) is a fat. It requires 145 molecules of oxygen for every two molecules that are respired. Explain, using a balanced chemical equation, why the RQ for this fat would be lower than the RQ for glucose.(2 marks)Glucose is more readily used than fats or proteins as a respiratory substrate. Suggest why.(2 marks)The respiration of fats requires more oxygen than the respiration of glucose. Suggest why.(3 marks) ................
