Chapter 6: Cellular Respiration
In this chapter you will learn about the many chemical reactions,
known as cellular respiration, that break down molecules such as
glucose to produce the ATP that fuels physical activities.
Why are there differences
between the aerobic and
anaerobic pathways?
How is the energy of a
glucose molecule harvested by
a cell?
How are other organic
nutrients, such as proteins and
fats, used as energy?

6.2 Outside the Mitochondria: Glycolysis
Glycolysis is the breakdown of glucose to pyruvate in the
cytoplasm.

Energy-Investment Steps
At the beginning of glycolysis
•two ATP are used to activate glucose
•the phosphorylated glucose molecule splits into two C3
molecules, which are often referred to G3P
•After this point, each G3P molecule undergoes the same
reactions

Section 6.2
Energy-Harvesting Steps
Once G3P is formed:
•G3P is oxidized and NAD+ is reduced to NADH + H+ (will
pass e− to transport chain)
•Oxidation of G3P and subsequent substrates results in four
high-energy phosphate groups
•The high-energy phosphate groups are used to synthesize
four ATP made by substrate-level ATP synthesis

Inputs and Outputs of Glycolysis
Each glucose that
enters glycolysis
forms
•two ATP
•two NADH + H+
•two pyruvate
• When oxygen is available, pyruvate enters the
mitochondria for further breakdown
• When oxygen is limited, fermentation occurs

6.3 Outside the Mitochondria:
Fermentation
When oxygen is limited, anaerobic pathways such as
fermentation are used.
•In humans and other animals, pyruvate is reduced to
lactate in a process called lactic acid fermentation
•In other organisms, such as yeast, pyruvate undergoes
reduction and loss of CO2, to produce alcohol in a process
called alcoholic fermentation
•The NAD+ produced from reduction of pyruvate can be
used in glycolysis

Fermentation
Figure 6.7 Fermentation.
Fermentation consists of
glycolysis followed by a
reduction of pyruvate by
NADH + H+. The resulting
NAD+ returns to the
glycolytic pathway to pick
up more hydrogen atoms.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Fermentation
Advantages:
•Provides a rapid burst of ATP and is especially useful in
muscle cells during exertion when oxygen is in limited supply
Disadvantages:
•Lactate is toxic to cells. Its build-up in tissues changes the
pH and causes muscles to “burn.” Recovery is only complete
when the lactate has been transported to the liver where it is
converted to pyruvate, which is broken down
•There is a low yield of ATP

Energy Yield of Fermentation
Fermentation produces two ATP per glucose molecule.
This represents a small fraction of the potential 30-32 ATP
that can be produced from complete breakdown of glucose by
cellular respiration.

Chapter opener background information
During a typical 90-minute soccer game, such as the one shown here involving Canada’s Emily Zurrer, the starting players run an average of about 10 km. However, unlike the endurance running experienced by marathoners, soccer players experience periods of intense activity (sprinting) followed by brief periods of rest. This start-and-stop nature of the game means that the muscles of the athlete are constantly switching between aerobic and anaerobic metabolism.
During aerobic metabolism, the muscle cells use oxygen in order to completely break down glucose, producing more ATP, a high-energy molecule used for muscle contraction. The breakdown of glucose in the presence of oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water is called cellular respiration. However, running short, fast sprints quickly depletes oxygen levels and drives the muscles into anaerobic metabolism. Without oxygen, glucose cannot be broken down completely. It is changed into lactate. Once oxygen is restored to the muscles, the body is able to return to aerobic metabolism and dispose of the lactate.
In this chapter, we will discuss the metabolic pathways of cellular respiration that allow the energy within a glucose molecule, and other organic nutrients, to be converted into ATP.
glycolysis: the first phase of cellular respiration, where glucose is broken down into two pyruvate molecules
substrate-level ATP synthesis: a process in which ATP is formed by transferring a phosphate from a metabolic substrate to ADP
Caption text
Figure 6.6 Glycolysis. Glycolysis begins with glucose and ends with two pyruvate molecules. There is a gain of two NADH + H+ and a net gain of two ATP from glycolysis.
Answers
1. Glucose must be activated by the investment of 2ATP before the cascade of reactions oxidizing glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate to pyruvate (forming 4ATP) can occur.
2. For each molecule of glucose the inputs are 2 ATP and 2 NAD+. The outputs are two molecules of pyruvate, 2 NADH, 2 ADP, and 4 ATP. There is a net gain of 2 ATP, 2 NADH, and 2 pyruvate.
fermentation: an anaerobic breakdown of glucose resulting in a gain of two ATP
fermentation: an anaerobic breakdown of glucose resulting in a gain of two ATP
Answers
1. When muscles are working hard, in a burst of activity, they can deplete the oxygen in the tissues to the point that fermentation begins.
2. During fermentation pyruvate accepts electrons from NADH formed during glycolysis, producing lactate or alcohol and carbon dioxide. The oxidized NAD+ is then available to pick up more electrons (and hydrogen ions) from glycolysis.
