Carbohydrate catabolism is the breaking down or digestion of carbohydrate molecules into smaller units.
FUNCTIONS
To provide raw materials for the synthesis of other molecules
To provides chemical energy required for many activities.
Energy produced by respiration process in MITOCHONDRIA in the form of ATP (Adenosine
Triphosphate). ATP is utilized by all living things to carry out life activities.
CELL RESPIRATION
Respiration Process
✘ Aerobic Respiration ✘ Anaerobic respiration
Is the burning of fuel molecules that involves Does not utilize oxygen as its final acceptor
oxygen. of electrons during formation of ATP
Oxygen is the final electron acceptor in ATP Anaerobic is also fermentation process.
formation
AEROBIC RESPIRATION
Aerobic respiration occur in four stages
1. GLYCOLISIS Occur in cytoplasm of cell
1) energy-requiring;
2) energy-releasing steps
INPUT OUTPUT
1 molecule glucose 2 H2O
2 ATP 2 piruvate acid
2 NAD+ 2 ATP
2 NADH
GLYCOLISIS RESULT
2 H2O, 2 Piruvate Acid, 2
NADH and 2 ATP
2. OXIDATIVE DECARBOXILATION Occur in in matrix mitochondria
the product of glycolysis, to enter the next pathway, it must undergo several changes to become
acetyl Coenzyme A (acetyl CoA).
INPUT OUTPUT
2 piruvate acid 2 Acetyl CoA
2 NAD+ 2 NADH
2 Co-A 2 CO2
3.
OXIDATIVE DECARBOXILATION
RESULT
2 Acetyl CoA , 2 NADH, 2 CO2
INPUT OUTPUT
2 Acetyl CoA 2 Coenzym A
6 NAD+ 4 CO2
2 H2O 6 NADH
2 FAD+ 2 ATP
2 ADP 2 FADH2
IMPORTANT CONCEPT
1 NADH = 3 ATP
1 FADH = 2 ATP
Total ATP : 38 ATP – 2 ATP (energy used for transporting NADH to innermembrane) = 36 ATP
