Document Summary

At this point, pyruvate can either be used: In fermentation to form fermentation products (alcohols, acids, gases) or. In respiration (tca cycle) to be fully oxidized to co2. From 1 glucose molecule a net of 2 atp are produced. Reduction of pyruvate fermentation products: nad, respiration. From 1 glucose molecule up to 38 atp are produced (under ideal conditions) Uses electron transport chain (etc) and atp synthase. Types of fermentation: homolactic fermentation- once electrons from nadh are passed to pyruvate, pyruvate is reduced to lactic acid, ex. Lactobacillus ferments lactose sugar in milk to produce lactic acid, this gives us yogurt: alcoholic fermentation- once electrons are passed from nadh to pyruvate, pyruvate is reduced to alcohol and co2, ex. Final electron acceptor may be an inorganic compound such as nitrate, ferric iron, sulfate, or carbonate: in fermentation, the final electron acceptor is made by the cell from the electron donor.

Electrons are passed through the respiratory chain in a way to optimise the production of heat.

The complexes of the respiratory chain use the energy of redox reactions to pump protons across the inner mitochondrial membrane.

The ATP synthase uses the protonmotive force to synthesize ATP.

The principle of energy conversion by respiratory chain and ATP synthase is called âchemiosmosisâ.

The electrons from NADH are passed along the respiratory chain in a number of redox reactions mostly involving complexes

1.Aerobic cellular respiration: In the absence of oxygen â what processes stop? Why do they stop?

2. Do the reactions that are unique to fermentation itself (not the reactions of glycolysis that precede the fermentation-specific steps) provide the cell with additional useful high-energy molecules? Explain briefly. If you answered yes â how many high-energy molecules and what kind? If you answered no â then why does the cell do the fermentation step?

3. Do the cells in your body do fermentation? Explain.

4. When cells use fermentation instead of aerobic cellular respiration, is NAD+/NADH involved in this process? What happens to this molecule? Explain briefly.

5. Your body can harness energy from sources besides carbohydrates like glucose. Briefly explain how proteins and fats can be broken down and funneled into the reactions of cellular respiration.
