Biological oxidation is the process by which organic substrates are oxidized within living organisms. During this process, oxygen is consumed and carbon dioxide and water are produced, along with the release of energy in the form of ATP or heat. The mitochondria contain four protein complexes - Complexes I to IV - that make up the electron transport chain, through which electrons are transferred from electron donors like NADH to final electron acceptors like oxygen. As electrons are passed through the complexes, protons are pumped from the mitochondrial matrix to the intermembrane space, creating an electrochemical gradient that drives ATP synthesis.

8. Energy Sources
Sources for ATP formation include:
• Carbohydrates:
• Glucose derived from liver glycogen
• Lipids:
• Triacylglycerol and glycogen molecules stored within
muscle cells
• Free fatty acids derived from triacylglycerol (in liver and
adipocytes) that enter the bloodstream for delivery to
active muscle
• Protein:
• Intramuscular and liver-derived carbon skeletons of
amino acids
9. Energy Release from Carbohydrates
The primary function of carbohydrates is to supply
energy for cellular work.
The complete breakdown of 1 mole of glucose liberates
689 kCal of energy.
• Of this, ATP bonds conserve about 261 kCal (38%),
with the remainder dissipated as heat.
10. Glucose Degradation
Occurs in two stages:
1. Anaerobic: Glucose breaks down relatively rapidly to
2 molecules of pyruvate.
2. Aerobic: Pyruvate degrades further to carbon dioxide
and water.

14. Energy Release from Fat
Stored fat represents the body’s most plentiful source of
potential energy.
Energy sources for fat catabolism include:
• Triacylglycerol stored directly within the muscle fiber
• Circulating triacylglycerol in lipoprotein complexes
• Circulating free fatty acids
15. Breakdown of Glycerol and Fatty Acids
Glycerol
• Provides carbon skeletons for glucose synthesis
Fatty acids
• Beta (ß)-oxidation converts a free fatty acid to
multiple acetyl-CoA molecules.
• Hydrogens released during fatty acid catabolism
oxidize through the respiratory chain.
16.
17. Adipocytes
Adipose tissue serves as an active and major supplier of
fatty acid molecules.
Triacylglycerol fat droplets occupy up to 95% of the
adipocyte cell’s volume.
Free fatty acids either form intracellular triacylglycerols
or bind with intramuscular proteins and enter the
mitochondria for energy metabolism.
18.
19. Lipogenesis
The formation of fat, mostly in the cytoplasm of liver cells
Occurs when excess glucose or protein is not used
immediately to sustain metabolism, so it converts into
stored triacylglycerol
The lipogenic process requires ATP energy and the B
vitamins biotin, niacin, and pantothenic acid.
20. Energy Release from Protein
Protein plays a role as an energy substrate during
endurance activities and heavy trainings.
Deamination: Nitrogen is removed from the amino acid
molecule.
Transamination: When an amino acid is passed to another
compound.
The remaining carbon skeletons enter metabolic pathways
to produce ATP.

Editor's Notes
Anaerobic and aerobic breakdown of ingested food nutrients provides the energy source for synthesizing the chemical fuel that powers all forms of biologic work.
ATP and PCr provide anaerobic sources of phosphate-bond energy. The energy liberated from the hydrolysis of PCr rebonds ATP and P to form ATP.

Glycolysis, a series of 10 enzymatically controlled chemical reactions creates two molecules of pyruvate from the anaerobic breakdown of glucose.
Glycolysis, a series of 10 enzymatically controlled chemical reactions creates two molecules of pyruvate from the anaerobic breakdown of glucose.
Glycogenolysis describes the cleavage of glucose from stored glycogen. Energy transfers directly via phosphate bonds in the anaerobic reactions called substrate-level phosphorylation. During glycolysis, two pairs of hydrogen atoms are stripped from the substrate (glucose), and their electrons are passed to NAD+ to form NADH . Lactate provides a valuable source of chemical energy that accumulates in the body during heavy exercise.
Prior to energy release from fat, hydrolysis ( lipolysis or fat breakdown) splits the triacylglycerol molecule into glycerol and three water-insoluble fatty acid molecules.
Lipogenesis begins with carbons from glucose and the carbon skeletons from amino acid molecules that metabolize to acetyl-CoA.
Once an amino acid loses its nitrogen-containing amine group, the remaining compound (usually a component of the citric acid cycle’s reactive compounds) contributes to ATP formation. Excessive intake of protein is converted to body fat.
