Cellular Respiration and Photosynthesis Hillis Textbook Chapter 6  Cellular Respiration Is a Major Catabolic Pathway UNIT 3: Part 2 Cellular Respiration and photosynthesis Hillis Textbook Chapter 6 Cellular respiration is a major catabolic pathway. Glucose is oxidized: carbohydrate 6O2 6CO2 6H2O chemical energy Photosynthesis is a major anabolic pathway. Light energy is converted to chemical energy: 6CO2 6H2O light energy 6O2 carbohydrate Cellular Respiration is AEROBIC (uses oxygen) A lot of energy is released when reduced molecules with many C—C and C—H bonds are fully oxidized to CO2. Oxidation occurs in a series of small steps in three pathways, followed by generation of ATP: 1. Glycolysis 2. Pyruvate Oxidation 3. Citric Acid Cycle 4. Electron Transport Chain CELLULAR RESPIRATION: REACTANTS: Glucose and oxygen LEARN THE NAMES OF THE STEPS AND WHERE IT TAKES PLACE! ATP Oxygen PRODUCTS: Carbon Dioxide, water and ATP STEP ONE: GLYCOLYSIS Glycolysis: ten total reactions. Takes place in the cytosol. Starts with glucose Final products: 2 molecules of NADH 2 molecules of ATP 2 molecules of pyruvate (pyruvic acid) These ATP molecules were produced, however they don’t count because we USED two molecules at the beginning STEP TWO: PYRUVATE OXIDATION Pyruvate Oxidation: Happens in the mitochondria Starts with TWO separate pyruvates from glycolysis Products: CO2 and acetate; acetate is then bound to coenzyme A (CoA) 2 Results in: pyruvate in 2 CO2 and 2 Acetyl CoA total STEP THREE: CITRIC ACID CYCLE Citric Acid Cycle: Takes place in the mitochondrial matrix 8 reactions Starts with the two Acetyl CoA produced by pyruvate oxidation So, the cycle operates twice for every ONE glucose molecule that enters glycolysis Each acetyl group is oxidized to two CO2. Oxaloacetate is regenerated in the last step to be re-used again when another acetyl CoA comes along. Energy carriers are produced: 6 NADH, 2 FADH2, 2 GTP STEP THREE: CITRIC ACID CYCLE Every glucose forms TWO acetyl CoA from pyruvate… End result = 4 CO2, 6 NADH, 2 FADH2 and 2 GTP ALERT!!! The Citric Acid Cycle is also known as The Kreb’s Cycle and the TCA cycle STEP FOUR: ELECTRON TRANSPORT CHAIN Electron transport/ATP Synthesis: + NADH is reoxidized to NAD and O2 is reduced to H2O in a series of steps. Respiratory chain—series of redox carrier proteins embedded in the inner mitochondrial membrane. Electron transport—electrons from the oxidation of NADH and FADH2 pass from one carrier to the next in the chain. STEP FOUR: ELECTRON TRANSPORT CHAIN The oxidation reactions are exergonic; the energy is used to actively transport H+ ions out of the mitochondrial matrix, setting up a proton gradient. ATP synthase in the membrane uses the H+ gradient to synthesize ATP by chemiosmosis. About 32 molecules of ATP are produced for each fully oxidized glucose. The role of O2: most of the ATP produced is formed by oxidative phosphorylation, which is due to the reoxidation of NADH. Under anaerobic conditions (NO OXYGEN IS AVAILABLE), NADH is reoxidized by fermentation. The overall yield of ATP is only two—the ATP made in glycolysis. Lactic acid fermentation: Alcoholic fermentation: End product is lactic acid (lactate). End product is ethyl alcohol (ethanol). Metabolic pathways are linked. Carbon skeletons (molecules with covalently linked carbon atoms) can enter catabolic or anabolic pathways. How do you think prokaryotes perform respiration? Photosynthesis involves two pathways: 1. Light reactions convert light energy into chemical energy (in ATP and the reduced electron carrier NADPH). 2. Carbon-fixation reactions use the ATP and NADPH, along with CO2, to produce carbohydrates. LIGHT REACTIONS: Light is a form of electromagnetic radiation, which travels as a wave but also behaves as particles (photons). Photons can be absorbed by a molecule, adding energy to the molecule—it moves to an excited state. In plants, two chlorophylls absorb light energy chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b. LIGHT REACTIONS: The light reactions use CHLOROPHYLL to trap energy from the sun! That is why they are considered “light” reactions. Chlorophyll molecule LIGHT REACTIONS: When chlorophyll (Chl) absorbs light, it enters an excited state (Chl*), then rapidly returns to ground state, releasing an excited electron. Chl* gives the excited electron to an acceptor and becomes oxidized to Chl+. The acceptor molecule is reduced. Chl * acceptor Chl acceptor The electron acceptor is first in an electron transport system in the thylakoid membrane. Final electron acceptor is NADP+, which gets reduced: NADP H 2e NADPH ATP is produced chemiosmotically during electron transport (photophosphorylation). LIGHT REACTIONS: Two photosystems: •Photosystem I absorbs light energy at 700 nm, passes an excited electron to NADP+, reducing it to NADPH. • Photosystem II absorbs light energy at 680 nm, produces ATP, and oxidizes water molecules. CALVIN CYCLE: The Calvin cycle: CO2 fixation. It occurs in the stroma of the chloroplast. Each reaction is catalyzed by a specific enzyme. 1. Fixation of CO2: CO2 is added to ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP). Ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (rubisco) catalyzes the reaction. A 6-carbon molecule results, which quickly breaks into two 3-carbon molecules: 3-phosphoglycerate (3PG). 2. 3PG is reduced to form glyceraldehyde 3- phosphate (G3P). 3. The CO2 acceptor, RuBP, is regenerated from G3P. When glucose accumulates, it is linked to form starch, a storage carbohydrate. The C—H bonds generated by the Calvin cycle provide almost all the energy for life on Earth! Photosynthetic organisms (autotrophs) use most of this energy to support their own growth and reproduction. Heterotrophs cannot photosynthesize and depend on autotrophs for chemical energy. Do we rely on plants? Do plants rely on us? ALCOHOL PRODUCTION USING RESPIRATION: Catabolism of the beet sugar is a cellular process, so living yeast cells must be present. With air (O2) yeasts used aerobic metabolism to fully oxidize glucose to CO2. Without air, yeasts used alcoholic fermentation, producing ethanol, less CO2, and less energy (slower growth).

This article is published with open access Abstract Sediment-hosted CO2-rich aquifers deep below the Colorado Plateau (USA) contain a remarkable diversity of uncultivated microorganisms, including Candidate Phyla Radiation (CPR) bacteria that are putative symbionts unable to synthesize membrane lipids. The origin of organic carbon in these ecosystems is unknown and the source of CPR membrane lipids remains elusive. We collected cells from deep groundwater brought to the surface by eruptions of Crystal Geyser, sequenced 1234567890();,: 1234567890();,: the community, and analyzed the whole community lipidome over time. Characteristic stable carbon isotopic compositions of microbial lipids suggest that bacterial and archaeal CO2 fixation ongoing in the deep subsurface provides organic carbon for the complex communities that reside there. Coupled lipidomic-metagenomic analysis indicates that CPR bacteria lack complete lipid biosynthesis pathways but still possess regular lipid membranes. These lipids may therefore originate from other community members, which also adapt to high in situ pressure by increasing fatty acid unsaturation.

Abstract The origin of phosphorus metabolism is one of the central problems in the context of the emergence of life on Earth. It has been shown that the C–H–O system can be transformed into a four- component C–H–O–P system with the formation of a gluconeogenesis path in a possible Archean hydrothermal condition under the influence of a phosphorus chemical potential. This system became the energy supply basis for protometabolism, and facilitated the formation of a new CO2 fixation cycle (the reductive pentose phosphate pathway). The modular design of central metabolism in the C–H–O–P system is derived from the parageneses (associations) of certain substances, and the emerging modules in turn associate with each other in certain physical and chemical hydrothermal conditions.

E-mail: [email protected] Received 15 August 2011; Revised 4 November 2011; Accepted 8 November 2011 Downloaded from Abstract While the reductive pentose phosphate cycle is responsible for the fixation of most of the carbon in the biosphere, it http://jxb.oxfordjournals.org/ has several natural substitutes. In fact, due to the characterization of three new carbon fixation pathways in the last decade, the diversity of known metabolic solutions for autotrophic growth has doubled. In this review, the different pathways are analysed and compared according to various criteria, trying to connect each of the different metabolic alternatives to suitable environments or metabolic goals. The different roles of carbon fixation are discussed; in addition to sustaining autotrophic growth it can also be used for energy conservation and as an electron sink for the recycling of reduced electron carriers. Our main focus in this review is on thermodynamic and kinetic aspects, including thermodynamically challenging reactions, the ATP requirement of each pathway, energetic constraints on carbon fixation, and factors that are expected to limit the rate of the pathways. Finally, possible metabolic structures at Weizmann Institute of Science on July 3, 2016 of yet unknown carbon fixation pathways are suggested and discussed.

  • The Curious Consistency of Carbon Biosignatures Over Billions of Years of Earth-Life Coevolution
    The ISME Journal (2021) 15:2183–2194 https://doi.org/10.1038/s41396-021-00971-5 PERSPECTIVE The curious consistency of carbon biosignatures over billions of years of Earth-life coevolution 1 2 1,3 Amanda K. Garcia ● Colleen M. Cavanaugh ● Betul Kacar Received: 20 October 2020 / Revised: 12 March 2021 / Accepted: 25 March 2021 / Published online: 12 April 2021 © The Author(s) 2021. This article is published with open access Abstract The oldest and most wide-ranging signal of biological activity (biosignature) on our planet is the carbon isotope composition of organic materials preserved in rocks. These biosignatures preserve the long-term evolution of the microorganism-hosted metabolic machinery responsible for producing deviations in the isotopic compositions of inorganic and organic carbon. Despite billions of years of ecosystem turnover, evolutionary innovation, organismic complexification, and geological events, the organic carbon that is a residuum of the global marine biosphere in the rock record tells an essentially static story. The ~25‰ mean deviation between inorganic and organic 13C/12C values has remained remarkably unchanged over >3.5 billion years. The bulk of this record is conventionally attributed to early-evolved, RuBisCO-mediated CO2 fixation that, in 1234567890();,: 1234567890();,: extant oxygenic phototrophs, produces comparable isotopic effects and dominates modern primary production. However, billions of years of environmental transition, for example, in the progressive oxygenation of the Earth’s atmosphere, would be expected to have accompanied shifts in the predominant RuBisCO forms as well as enzyme-level adaptive responses in RuBisCO CO2-specificity. These factors would also be expected to result in preserved isotopic signatures deviating from those produced by extant RuBisCO in oxygenic phototrophs.
