Section 6: Metabolism

Reading: Chapter 6, concepts 6.1, 6.2, 6.3 and 6.4
Watch and learn:
How do photosynthesis and cellular respiration relate to one another? http://youtu.be/0IJMRsTcwcg Cellular respiration http://youtu.be/Gh2P5CmCC0M Basic Key Concepts
After completing the readings and practice exercises, students should be able to:
Describe the two mechanisms of ATP synthesis.
Describe the location, steps, and inputs and products of: glycolysis the oxidation of pyruvate the Krebs cycle
Calculate the energy yield from glycolysis.
Explain the fate of the electrons produced by the Krebs cycle.
Describe the structure and function of the electron transport chain.
Understand how the proton gradient connects electron transport with ATP synthesis.
Calculate the number of ATP molecules produced by aerobic respiration.
Distinguish between aerobic respiration and fermentation.
Identify the conditions under which aerobic respiration or fermentation will be preferred.
Identify the points at which proteins and fats enter energy metabolism.

Advanced Key Concepts
After the Cell respiration lectures, students should be able to:
Differentiate substrate level phosphorylation and oxidative phosphorylation.
Relate energy products from the steps of cellular respiration to electron transport chain function.
Compare and contrast common processes in the steps of cellular respiration.
Describe fermentation and its importance to glycolysis.
Describe how the metabolism of proteins and fats may be similar or different to the metabolism of glucose.

    The apoplast is important for all the plant's interaction with its environment. The main carbon source (carbon dioxide) needs to be solubilized in the apoplast before it is taken up by chloroplasts and consumed during photosynthesis. In the roots, ions diffuse into the apoplast of the epidermis before being taken up into the symplast by specific ion channels and being pulled by the plant's transpiration stream, which also occurs completely within the boundaries of the apoplast. Similarly, all gaseous molecules emitted and received by plants such as plant hormones and other pheromones must pass the apoplast. The apoplast is also a site for cell-to-cell communication. During local oxidative stress, hydrogen peroxide and superoxide anion can diffuse through the apoplast and transport a warning signal to neighboring cells. In addition, a local alkalinization of the apoplast due to such a stress can travel within minutes…
