This document summarizes key concepts about cellular metabolism from a chapter in a human anatomy and physiology textbook. It discusses the two main types of metabolic reactions - anabolism and catabolism. It then covers specific metabolic processes in more detail, including glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and the electron transport system that produces ATP through cellular respiration. It explains how enzymes control metabolic reactions and how metabolic pathways are regulated.

Citric Acid Cycle The 3-carbon pyruvic acids generated by glycolysis enter the mitochondria. Each loses a carbon (generating CO 2 and is combined with a coenzyme to form a 2-carbon acetyl coenzyme A (acetyl CoA). More high-energy electrons are released. Each acetyl CoA combines with a 4-carbon oxaloacetic acid to form the 6-carbon citric acid, for which the cycle is named. For each citric acid, a series of reactions removes 2 carbons (generating 2 CO 2 ’s), synthesizes 1 ATP, and releases more high-energy electrons. The figure shows 2 ATP, resulting directly from 2 turns of the cycle per glucose molecule that enters glycolysis. Electron Transport Chain The high-energy electrons still contain most of the chemical energy of the original glucose molecule. Special carrier molecules bring the high-energy electrons to a series of enzymes that convert much of the remaining energy to more ATP molecules. The other products are heat and water. The function of oxygen as the final electron acceptor in this last step is why the overall process is called aerobic respiration.

A second tRNA binds complementarily to the next codon, and in doing so brings the next amino acid into position on the ribosome. A peptide bond forms, linking the new amino acid to the growing polypeptide chain. The tRNA molecule that brought the last amino acid to the ribosome is released to the cytoplasm, and will be used again. The ribosome moves to a new position at the next codon on mRNA. A A new tRNA complementary to the next codon on mRNA brings the next amino acid to be added to the growing polypeptide chain. 2 1 3 4 Messenger RNA Transfer RNA Next amino acid Transfer RNA Messenger RNA Transfer RNA Growing polypeptide chain Copyright © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.
