What happens if oxygen is not present?

• Fermentation– Occurs in the cytosol– Generate NAD+ for recycling to glycolysis– No ATP production– Lactic acid and alcoholic fermentation

Lactic acid fermentation and alcoholic fermentation

Efficiency of glycolysis and fermentation

• In the matrix of the mitochondria, each pyruvic acid molecule is broken down to form CO2 and a two-carbon acetyl group, which enters the Krebs cycle

When Oxygen is present : Pyruvic acid is chemically groomedfor the Krebs cycle which takes place in the mitochondria

Figure 6.10

CO2

Acetyl CoA(acetyl coenzyme A)

• The Krebs cycle, in the matrix of the mitochondria, is a series of reactions in which enzymes strip away electrons and H+ from each acetyl group

When Oxygen is present: The Krebs cycle completes the oxidation of organic fuel,

generating many NADH and FADH2 molecules

• The electrons from NADH and FADH2 travel down the electron transport chain to oxygen

• Energy released by the electrons is used to pump H+ into the space between the mitochondrial membranes

• In chemiosmosis, the H+ ions diffuse back through the inner membrane through ATP synthase complexes, which capture the energy to make ATP

Chemiosmosis powers most ATP production in the inner membrane

• Chemiosmosis in the mitochondrion inner membrane

• For each glucose molecule that enters cellular respiration, chemiosmosis produces up to 38 ATP molecules

Review: Each molecule of glucose yields many molecules of ATP

• Under anaerobic conditions, many kinds of cells can use glycolysis alone to produce small amounts of ATP – But a cell must have a way of replenishing

NAD+

Fermentation is an anaerobic alternative to aerobic respiration
