Objective:
to examine respiration in yeast and rat mitochondria
Techniques:
Measure effects of substrates and inhibitors on oxygen consumption in
yeast and rat mitochondria using an oxygen polarograph
ATP Synthesis and glucose metabolism
C6H12O6 + 6 O2 + 36 Pi +36 ADP + 36 H+

Step 1: Glycolysis
Glucose + 2ADP
2 pyruvate + 2ATP
Glycolysis
• Occurs in the cytosol
Hi [ATP]
• Glucose metabolized to 2
pyruvate + 2 ATP
• High [ATP] inhibits
phosphofructokinase
(PFK)
• High [ADP] stimulates
PFK
• Pasteur Effect: Increase
in the rate of carbohydrate
breakdown that occurs
when switched from
aerobic to anaerobic
conditions

Step 2: Citric Acid Cycle
Mitochondria
Citric Acid
Cycle
Citric Acid Cycle

a.k.a. Krebs Cycle, TCA Cycle

Occurs in mitochondrial matrix

Pyruvate reacts with CoA to form
Acetyl CoA

NAD+, FAD+ reduced to NADH,
FADH2,

NADH, FADH2 enter the electron
transport chain
Step 3: Electron transport chain and oxidative
phosphorylation
Oxidative Phosphorylation
Oxidative phosphorylation is the process by which the energy
stored in NADH and FADH2 is used to produce ATP.

Electron Transport Chain
During electron transport, energy released is used to transport H+ across the inner
mitochondrial membrane to create an electrochemical gradient
Fig. 16-19
Oxidative
Phosphorylation
• H+ transport results in an
electrochemical gradient
• Proton motive force: energy
released by flow of H+ down
its gradient is used for ATP
synthesis
• ATP synthase: H+ channel
that couples energy from H+
flow with ATP synthesis

This week’s lab
Day one: Yeast respiration
• Goal: learn how to measure O2 consumption
• Compare O2 consumption by normal and starved yeast
Day two: Mitochondria
• Examine the effects of various inhibitors and substrates
on the rate of respiration
• Determine the identity of your unknown (think what
substrates you need to add and in what order together
with the unknown
