Document Summary

Lecture 20: aerobic metabolism: pyruvate oxidation and the tca cycle (ch. The citric acid cycle (a. k. a. the tca cycle or the krebs cycle) Evolved when o2 levels increased in the atmosphere. Advantages: more energy from oxidation of pyruvate, harvest energy in nadh and fadh2 to make atp. Not in anaerobic organisms or in absence of o2. Pathways of aerobic metabolism: pyruvate decarboxylation (oxidation of pyruvate, citric acid cycle , electron transport system (capture energy from nadh and fadh2 to create h+ gradient) (oxidation of pyruvate, atp synthesis. ~30 more atp than glycolysis alone: also known as the krebs cycle or the tricarboxylic acid (tca) cycle. Anatomy of pyruvate oxidation and citric acid cycle. Energy harnessed to make gtp (atp), nadh, and fadh2. Formation of high-energy bond between acetyl and coenzyme a (coa: the citric acid cycle. Acetyl-coa + oaa + 3 nad+ + fad + gdp. Oaa + 3 nadh + fadh2 + gtp (atp) + 2 co2.
