Not all redox reactions involve the complete transfer of electrons:
Cellular Respiration: Harvesting Chemical EnergyCellular respiration – catabolic energy yielding pathway in which oxygen and organic fuels are consumed and ATP is producedSUMMARY:
Organic + Oxygen Carbon + Water + EnergyCompounds
Dioxide
C6H12O6 + 6 O2 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + Energy
C6H12O6 + 6 O2 6 CO2 + 6 H2O

reduction
*By oxidizing glucose, energy is taken out of “storage” and made available for ATP synthesis
Cellular Respiration: an overview
3 metabolic stages:
*glycolysis *Krebs cycle
*electron transport chain and oxidative phosphorylation
*Substrate-level phosphorylation
*Oxidative phosphorylation
Glycolysis: Energy Investment Phase
1) Glucose is phosphorylated
2) G-6-P is rearranged
3) Addition of another phosphate group
5) Conversion b/w the 2 3-carbon sugars
4) Cleavage into 2 3-carbon sugars
6) Two components: *electron transfer *Phosphate group addition
Glycolysis: Energy Payoff Phase
7) ATP production
8) Rearrangement of phosphate group
9) Loss of water
10) ATP production
The Krebs cycle: energy-yielding oxidationThe junction b/w glycolysis and the Krebs cycle:
Multienzyme complex:
1) Removal of CO2 2) Electron transfer *pyruvate dehydrogenase 3) Addition of CoA
The Krebs cycle: energy-yielding oxidation
1) Addition of 2 Carbons Citrate
synthase 2)
Isomerization Aconitase
3) *Loss of CO2 *electron transfer
Isocitrate dehydrogenase
4) *Loss of CO2 *electron
transfer -ketoglutarate
dehydrogenase5) substrate-level
phosphorylation Succinyl CoA-synthetase
6) electron transfer Succinate
dehydrogenase
7) Rearrangement
of bonds Fumarase
8) electron transfer Malate dehydrogenase
