Cellular Respiration Is a set of metabolic reactions and processes that take place in the cells of organisms to convert biochemical energy from nutrients into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and then release waste product. The reactions involved in respiration are catabolic reactions, which break large molecules into smaller ones, releasing energy in the process. Cell u lar r e s p i r a tion i s c o n side r ed an exothermic redox reaction which releases heat.

The Glycolytic Pathway Glucose is converted to two pyruvate

Glycolysis In cytoplasm, an anaerobic process which generates ATP, NAPH and pyruvate Glycolysis: a series of 10 enzyme-catalyzed reactions by which glucose is oxidized to two molecules of pyruvate – there is net conversion of 2ADP to 2ATP C 6 H 1 2 O 6 Glucose glycolysis O 2 C H 3 CC O O - Pyruvate + 2 H + + 2 A D P + 2 P i + 2 A T P C 6 H 1 2 O 6 Glucose O 2 CH 3 C C O O - Pyruvate

Energetics of Glycolysis Three reactions exhibit particularly large decreases in free energy; the enzymes that catalyze these reactions are sites of allosteric control hexokinase phosphofructokinase pyruvate kinase
Fructose is phosphorylated by fructokinase (liver) or hexokinase (adipose) on the 1 or 6 positions resp. Fructose-6-phosphate is an intermediate of glycolysis. Fructose-1-phosphate is acted upon by an aldolase- like enzyme that gives DHAP (dihydroxyacetone phosphate) and glyceraldehyde. DHAP is a glycolysis intermediate and glyceraldehyde can be phosphorylated to glyceraldehyde-3-P. Glycerol is phosphorylated to G-3-P which is then converted to glyceraldehyde 3 phosphate.
Galactose has a slightly complicated multi-step pathway for conversion to glucose-1-phosphate. gal gal-1-P UDP-gal UDP-glc glc-1-P. If this pathway is disrupted because of defect in one or more enzymes involved in the conversion of gal to glc-1-P, then galactose accumulates in the blood and the subject suffers from galactosemia which is a genetic disorder, an inborn error of metabolism.
Reactions of Pyruvate Pyruvate does not accumulate in cells, but rather undergoes one of three enzyme- catalyzed reactions, depending of the type of cell and its state of oxygenation reduction to lactate reduction to ethanol oxidation and decarboxylation to acetyl-CoA
Lactate Fermentation ⦿ In vertebrates under anaerobic conditions, the most important pathway for the regeneration of NAD + is reduction of pyruvate to lactate lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) is a tetrameric isoenzyme consisting of H and M subunits; H 4 predominates in heart muscle, and M 4 in skeletal muscle O CH CCOO - + NADH + H + 3 P y r u v a t e OH CH 3 CHCOO - + NAD + Lactate lactate d e h y d r o g e n a s e
Pyruvate to Lactate while lactate fermentation allows glycolysis to continue, it increases the concentration of lactate and also of H + in muscle tissue when blood lactate reaches about 0.4 mg/100 mL, muscle tissue becomes almost completely exhausted C 6 H 1 2 O 6 Gluco O H lactate fermentation
