Mitochondria and energy production

I. Anaerobic energy production

A) glycolysis (Embden-Meyerhoff pathway)

1) oxygen requirements

a) obligate aerobes

b) obligate anaerobes

c) facultative anaerobes

B) fermentation

1) alcoholic fermentation

2) lactic acid fermentation

C) regulation of glycolysis

1) phosphofructokinase

 

II. Respiration

A) mitochondria - structure and function

B) citric acid cycle

C) redox reactions

1) reduction and oxidation

2) Eo' = standard reduction potential

DGš' = -nFDEo'

D) electron transport chain

1) components

2) simplified “chain”

E) chemiosmotic mechanism

F) ATP yield

    ATP equivalent
glycolysis 2ATP 2
  2NADH 6
pyruvate oxidation 2NADH 6
2 turns of TCA cycle 2ATP 2
  6NADH 18
  2FADH2 4
    38 ATP

G) transport across inner mitochondrial membrane

1) ATP - ADP exchange

2) phosphate carriers

3) uptake of “electrons”

a) G3P - DHAP shuttle

b) malate - aspartate shuttle

H) regulation

1) regulation of citric acid cycle

 

III. Peroxisomes

A. Functions

1) inactivation of toxins

2) regulation of oxygen concentration

3) lipid metabolism

4) gluconeogenesis
