This document discusses metabolism and the process of oxidative phosphorylation. It defines metabolism as the series of changes that substances undergo in the body, including being broken down or used to synthesize tissue components. Metabolism involves both catabolic reactions that break down substances and anabolic reactions that build them up. The document then focuses on oxidative phosphorylation, explaining how electrons from nutrients are transferred through complexes in the electron transport chain to ultimately reduce oxygen to water. This process pumps protons out of the mitochondrial matrix, creating a proton gradient that drives ATP synthesis when protons flow back through ATP synthase.

The electron transport chain (ETC) is a series of protein complexes and carriers in the inner mitochondrial membrane that transport electrons from electron donors like NADH to final acceptors like oxygen. This transports protons from the mitochondrial matrix to the intermembrane space, building up a proton gradient. ATP synthase uses this proton gradient to phosphorylate ADP, producing approximately 34 ATP per glucose. The ETC is crucial for aerobic respiration as it extracts much more energy than glycolysis and the Krebs cycle alone.

The document discusses electron transport chain (ETC) located in the inner mitochondrial membrane. ETC involves the transfer of electrons from reduced coenzymes like NADH and FADH2 through a series of protein complexes along with the pumping of protons from the matrix to the intermembrane space. This creates an electrochemical gradient that drives the synthesis of ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate by ATP synthase. The five complexes of ETC, mobile electron carriers like coenzyme Q and cytochrome c, mechanisms of oxidative phosphorylation and proton gradient are explained in detail.

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. While biological oxidation and combustion share similarities in their consumption of oxygen and production of carbon dioxide and water, biological oxidation occurs under controlled conditions with
Organisms generate energy through cellular respiration, which has three main stages. In glycolysis, glucose is broken down to pyruvate, producing a small amount of ATP. Pyruvate then enters the citric acid cycle in the mitochondrion, producing more ATP, NADH, and FADH2. These electron carriers supply the electron transport chain, where electrons are transferred to oxygen in a series of redox reactions. This pumps protons out of the mitochondrion, building up a proton gradient that ATP synthase uses to produce the majority of ATP through oxidative phosphorylation.
The document discusses cellular respiration and the electron transport chain. It explains that:
1) The electron transport chain generates ATP through oxidative phosphorylation by establishing a proton gradient across the inner mitochondrial membrane as electrons are transported from NADH and FADH2 to oxygen.
2) As protons diffuse back through ATP synthase, ATP is synthesized from ADP and inorganic phosphate. This process is called chemiosmosis and allows for the generation of approximately 36 additional ATP molecules per glucose.
3) Peter Mitchell proposed the chemiosmotic hypothesis in 1961 to explain how the electron transport chain is coupled to ATP synthesis.
Electron Transport Chain and oxidative phosphorylationusmanzafar66
The electron transport chain (ETC) transfers electrons through protein complexes in membranes to create a proton gradient. This gradient drives ATP synthase to make ATP from ADP + Pi. The ETC couples electron transfer to proton pumping across the membrane. In mitochondria, electrons come from NADH/FADH2 and are transferred through Complexes I-IV to oxygen, pumping protons. This creates a gradient to power ATP synthase and make ATP through oxidative phosphorylation. Uncouplers disrupt this coupling to generate heat instead of ATP. The ETC is important in both aerobic respiration and photosynthesis.
Cellular respiration involves the breakdown of glucose and other organic molecules to extract energy in the form of ATP. It occurs in three main stages: glycolysis, the Krebs cycle in the mitochondria, and oxidative phosphorylation along the electron transport chain. During aerobic respiration, glucose breakdown yields about 38 ATP molecules total. Without oxygen, anaerobic respiration produces less ATP but allows glycolysis to continue by converting pyruvate into other waste products like lactic acid.

Bioenergetics refers to cellular energy transformations where the chemical bond energy of fuels like glucose is transformed into ATP through oxidative phosphorylation. There are three main phases: 1) oxidation of fuels, 2) conversion of fuel oxidation energy into ATP's high-energy phosphate bonds, and 3) utilization of ATP's energy for cellular processes. The electron transport chain facilitates ATP production by transferring electrons from fuels like NADH and FADH2 through complexes in the mitochondrial inner membrane to ultimately reduce oxygen to water. This releases free energy used by ATP synthase to produce ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate with a P:O ratio of 3:1 typically.

Signatures of wave erosion in Titan’s coastsSérgio Sacani
The shorelines of Titan’s hydrocarbon seas trace flooded erosional landforms such as river valleys; however, it isunclear whether coastal erosion has subsequently altered these shorelines. Spacecraft observations and theo-retical models suggest that wind may cause waves to form on Titan’s seas, potentially driving coastal erosion,but the observational evidence of waves is indirect, and the processes affecting shoreline evolution on Titanremain unknown. No widely accepted framework exists for using shoreline morphology to quantitatively dis-cern coastal erosion mechanisms, even on Earth, where the dominant mechanisms are known. We combinelandscape evolution models with measurements of shoreline shape on Earth to characterize how differentcoastal erosion mechanisms affect shoreline morphology. Applying this framework to Titan, we find that theshorelines of Titan’s seas are most consistent with flooded landscapes that subsequently have been eroded bywaves, rather than a uniform erosional process or no coastal erosion, particularly if wave growth saturates atfetch lengths of tens of kilometers.

Compositions of iron-meteorite parent bodies constrainthe structure of the pr...Sérgio Sacani
Magmatic iron-meteorite parent bodies are the earliest planetesimals in the Solar System,and they preserve information about conditions and planet-forming processes in thesolar nebula. In this study, we include comprehensive elemental compositions andfractional-crystallization modeling for iron meteorites from the cores of five differenti-ated asteroids from the inner Solar System. Together with previous results of metalliccores from the outer Solar System, we conclude that asteroidal cores from the outerSolar System have smaller sizes, elevated siderophile-element abundances, and simplercrystallization processes than those from the inner Solar System. These differences arerelated to the formation locations of the parent asteroids because the solar protoplane-tary disk varied in redox conditions, elemental distributions, and dynamics at differentheliocentric distances. Using highly siderophile-element data from iron meteorites, wereconstruct the distribution of calcium-aluminum-rich inclusions (CAIs) across theprotoplanetary disk within the first million years of Solar-System history. CAIs, the firstsolids to condense in the Solar System, formed close to the Sun. They were, however,concentrated within the outer disk and depleted within the inner disk. Future modelsof the structure and evolution of the protoplanetary disk should account for this dis-tribution pattern of CAIs.

19. Coupling Oxidation and Phosphorylation
the energy-releasing oxidations give rise to proton
pumping and a pH gradient across the inner
mitochondrial membrane
in addition, differences in the concentration of
ions across the membrane generates a voltage
gradient
a coupling process converts the electrochemical
potential to the chemical energy of ATP
the coupling factor is ATP synthase, a complex
protein oligomer, separate from the electron
transport complexes
22. Coupling Oxidation and Phosphorylation
P/O ratio: gives the number of moles of Pi consumed
in phosphorylation to the number of moles of oxygen
atoms consumed in oxidation
◾P/O = 2.5 moles of ATP when NADH is oxidized
◾P/O = 1.5 moles of ATP when FADH2 is oxidized
⦿Biochemist had used integral values of 3 and 2 for the P/O ratios for
oxidation of NADH and FADH2

23. Mechanism of Ox/Phos
• The mechanism by which the proton gradient leads
to the production of ATP depends on ion channels
through the inner mitochondrial membrane.
protons flow back into the matrix through
channels
the flow of protons is accompanied by formation
of ATP
the details of how phosphorylation takes place as
a result of the linkage to the proton gradient are
not explicitly specified by this mechanism
24. The overall effect of electron transport reaction series is to move protons
out of the matrix into the intermembrane space, creating a difference in pH
across the membrane.
25. Formation of ATP accompanies the flow of protons
back into the mitochondrial matrix.

28. Shuttle Mechanisms
⚫Shuttle mechanisms: transport metabolites between
mitochondria and cytosol
⚫Glycerol phosphate shuttle:
Glycolysis in the cytosol produces NADH
NADH does not cross the mitochondrial
membrane, but glycerol phosphate and
dihydroxyacetone phosphate do
Through the glycerol phosphate shuttle, 1.5 ATP
are produced in the mitochondria for each
cytosolic NADH
Has been found in insect flight muscle, mammalian
muscle and brain
30. The Malate-Aspartate Shuttle
• The Malate-Aspartate Shuttle:
Has been found in mammalian kidney, liver, and
heart
Malate crosses the mitochondrial membrane,
while oxaloacetate cannot
The transfer of electrons from NADH in the cytosol
produces NADH in the mitochondria
In the malate-aspartate shuttle, 2.5 mitochondrial
ATP are produced for each cytosolic NADH
More efficient shuttle mechanism than glycerol-phosphate shuttle
32. Summary
• Shuttle mechanisms transfer electrons, but not
NADH, from the cytosol across the mitochondrial
membrane
• In the malate-aspartate shuttle, 2.5 molecules of ATP
are produced for each molecule of cytosolic NADH,
rather than 1.5 ATP in the glycerol-phosphate
shuttle, a point that affects the overall yield of ATP in
these tissues
33. The ATP Yield from Complete Oxidation
of Glucose
• In the complete oxidation of glucose, a total of
30 or 32 molecules of ATP are produced for
each molecule of glucose, depending on the
shuttle mechanism
