Fermentation

La fermentación es el proceso anaerobio

de usar azúcar sin oxígeno.

Por ejemplo, durante el
proceso del ácido láctico,

cuando los músculos se quedan sin oxígeno,

la glucosa se rompe en
dos moléculas de piruvato

durante la glucólisis, y produce dos ATP

y reduciendo dos moléculas NAD a NADH.

Luego, la NADH reacciona con
el piruvato y forma lactato

sin emisión de dióxido de carbono

y sin producir ATP.

De hecho, para producir
la misma cantidad ATP

como la respiración aerobia,

la célula debe consumir
cantidades más grandes de azúcar.

Después de que la NADH se oxida,

la NDA+ regresa al proceso de glucólisis

donde se recoge la ATP por
el rompimiento de la glucosa.

En los humanos, el oxígeno es escaso

las células musculares
pueden producir ATP con

éste proceso durante
un ejercicio agotador.

El lactato sobrante que se acumula

es llevado al hígado por la sangre

donde será convertido
otra vez en piruvato.

fermentación

La mayoría de los organismos eucariotas necesitan oxígeno para sobrevivir y funcionar adecuadamente. Estos organismos producen grandes cantidades de energía durante la respiración aeróbica al metabolizar la glucosa y el oxígeno en dióxido de carbono y agua. Sin embargo, la mayoría de los eucariotas pueden generar algo de energía en ausencia de oxígeno mediante el metabolismo anaeróbico. La fermentación es un tipo de proceso metabólico que ocurre en ausencia de oxígeno, donde las moléculas orgánicas como la glucosa se descomponen para producir energía. Durante este proceso, la molécula de glucosa se convierte inicialmente en dos moléculas de piruvato mediante una serie de reacciones químicas. Este proceso se llama glucólisis y es igual que el primer paso de la respiración aeróbica. En ausencia de oxígeno, las moléculas de piruvato se convierten en diferentes moléculas orgánicas a través de una variedad de vías dependiendo del organismo involucrado. Un aspecto clave de la fermentación es la regeneración de NAD+ a partir de NADH. Durante la glucólisis, el NAD+ se convierte en NADH y el funcionamiento continuo de la glucólisis requiere la regeneración del NAD+. En ausencia de oxígeno, la fermentación es el proceso que regenera el NAD+ transfiriendo electrones del NADH a una molécula orgánica, como el piruvato, lo que resulta en la formación de una nueva molécula orgánica y NAD+. Hay dos tipos principales de fermentación según los productos finales de la reacción: fermentación del ácido láctico y fermentación del alcohol. En los mamíferos, la fermentación del ácido láctico tiene lugar en los glóbulos rojos que no pueden respirar aeróbicamente debido a la falta de mitocondrias, así como en los músculos esqueléticos durante el ejercicio intenso. También ocurre en ciertas bacterias, como las que se encuentran en el yogur. En esta reacción, el piruvato y el NADH se convierten en ácido láctico y NAD+. La fermentación alcohólica es un proceso de dos pasos. En el primer paso, el piruvato se convierte en dióxido de carbono y acetaldehído. En el segundo paso, el acetaldehído actúa como aceptor de electrones y se reduce a etanol con una conversión concomitante de NADH en NAD+. En general, la fermentación alcohólica convierte el piruvato y el NADH en etanol, dióxido de carbono y NAD+. Las levaduras utilizan la fermentación alcohólica para convertir los azúcares en dióxido de carbono y etanol. Este proceso se aprovecha para producir bebidas alcohólicas como cerveza y vino.

fermentation pathways without oxygen

Fermentation is a metabolic pathway that lets cells make energy without oxygen. It begins after glucose is split into two pyruvate molecules during glycolysis. Glycolysis is the same first step used in aerobic respiration.

When oxygen is unavailable, pyruvate does not enter aerobic respiration. Instead, cells convert pyruvate into other organic molecules through pathways that depend on the organism. A key purpose of fermentation is to regenerate NAD+ from NADH so glycolysis can keep running.

During glycolysis, NAD+ becomes NADH. Fermentation transfers electrons from NADH to an organic molecule, such as pyruvate. This reaction produces a new organic molecule and restores NAD+.

The two main fermentation types are lactic acid fermentation and alcohol fermentation. Lactic acid fermentation occurs in red blood cells, which lack mitochondria, and in skeletal muscles during strenuous exercise. It also happens in certain bacteria, including those found in yogurt. In this pathway, pyruvate and NADH are converted to lactic acid and NAD+.

Alcohol fermentation happens in two steps. First, pyruvate is changed into carbon dioxide and acetaldehyde. Then acetaldehyde accepts electrons and is reduced to ethanol, while NADH becomes NAD+. Overall, alcohol fermentation turns pyruvate and NADH into ethanol, carbon dioxide, and NAD+.

Yeasts use alcohol fermentation to convert sugars into carbon dioxide and ethanol. People harness this process to produce alcoholic beverages such as beer and wine. Fermentation shows how cells can keep making energy when oxygen is limited.

Fermentation Pathways Without Oxygen

what is glycolysis?

Glycolysis: How Cells Break Down Glucose

Glycolysis is the first stage of cellular respiration and a key way cells break down glucose to make energy. Cellular respiration converts food energy from macromolecules into ATP, the cell’s main energy currency. Glycolysis also creates intermediate molecules that can feed into other pathways. In this pathway, one six-carbon sugar such as glucose is split into two three-carbon molecules, including pyruvate. The process produces a net gain of two ATP molecules, since four ATP are made and two...

energy-requiring steps of glycolysis

Glycolysis: Glucose Trapping and Splitting

Glycolysis begins in the cytosol, where glucose is prepared for use as energy. This process has two phases: an energy-requiring phase and an energy-releasing phase. The first phase changes glucose into a more reactive, unstable form before it can move into later steps. In the first step, glucose is phosphorylated, which means a phosphate group is added from ATP. This produces glucose 6-phosphate. The added phosphate is negatively charged, so it cannot cross the hydrophobic cell membrane. As a...

energy-releasing steps of glycolysis

Glycolysis: ATP and NADH Formation

Glycolysis produces ATP and NADH during its energy-releasing phase. These reactions are the last steps of glycolysis and convert glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate, or G3P, into pyruvate. The phase is often described as steps 6 to 10, and it happens twice because two 3-carbon sugars are made earlier in glycolysis. The sixth step begins with two linked events. G3P is oxidized, which means it loses hydrogen, and it is phosphorylated, which means a phosphate group is added. NAD+ acts as the electron...

pyruvate oxidation

How Pyruvate Becomes Acetyl CoA

Pyruvate is prepared for the next stage of cellular respiration inside the mitochondria. After glycolysis, the charged pyruvate molecules enter the mitochondria by active transport. There, they go through three enzymatic reactions so the energy stored in pyruvate can be used by the cell. First, pyruvate dehydrogenase removes the carboxyl group from pyruvate. This step releases carbon dioxide. Next, the stripped molecule is oxidized, and the electrons are picked up by NAD+ to make NADH. The...

the citric acid cycle

Citric Acid Cycle Energy and Products

The citric acid cycle is a key energy-making pathway in cells. It is also called the Krebs cycle or the TCA cycle. In eukaryotic cells, it takes place in the matrix of mitochondria. In prokaryotic cells, it occurs in the cytoplasm. The cycle starts with acetyl CoA, which enters the pathway after pyruvate oxidation. That earlier step makes two acetyl CoA molecules per glucose molecule. For that reason, the citric acid cycle runs twice for each glucose molecule. The pathway includes eight...

electron transport chains

ATP Production by the Electron Transport Chain

ATP production in the electron transport chain is the final stage of cellular respiration. This stage is part of oxidative phosphorylation, which has two steps: the electron transport chain and chemiosmosis. In eukaryotic cells, the electron transport chain sits in the inner mitochondrial membrane. Its main job is to build a proton gradient. That gradient is then used during chemiosmosis to make ATP. The process also regenerates the electron carriers NAD+ and FAD, which are needed again in...

chemiosmosis

ATP Production by Chemiosmosis

ATP production by chemiosmosis is part of oxidative phosphorylation, the efficient stage of cellular respiration that makes most of the cell’s ATP. Oxidative phosphorylation includes two linked processes: the electron transport chain and chemiosmosis. Together, they help generate adenosine triphosphate, or ATP, the main energy molecule used by cells. The electron transport chain is a series of protein complexes in the inner mitochondrial membrane. These complexes pass electrons through a set...

electron carriers

Electron Carriers in Cellular Respiration

Electron carriers help move electrons through cellular respiration. They act like shuttles that can accept electrons, which means they are reduced, or give electrons away, which means they are oxidized. This changing between oxidized and reduced forms is essential for energy production. As glucose breaks down into carbon dioxide and water, it loses electrons at several stages. Electron carriers pick up those electrons and store them temporarily. They then release the electrons into the...

dietary connections

How Food Becomes ATP

Food becomes ATP through connected steps in cellular respiration. Carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids all feed into these pathways. The body can use foods such as apples, cheese, and guacamole as sources of energy. Carbohydrate digestion starts with enzymes that break complex carbohydrates into simple sugars. Glucose can enter glycolysis directly. Fructose and galactose must first be converted into sugars that are intermediates of the glycolytic pathway. Proteins are digested into amino acids.

introduction to cellular respiration

Cellular Respiration: ATP Production Steps

Cellular respiration is the process cells use to turn energy from food into ATP. ATP, or adenosine triphosphate, stores energy in chemical bonds that can be released quickly when cells need it. Much of the energy released during respiration becomes heat, but some of it is captured to make ATP. This process depends on oxidation-reduction, or redox, reactions. In these reactions, oxidation means electron loss and reduction means electron gain. The electron carriers NAD+ and FAD, along with their...

products of the citric acid cycle

Citric Acid Cycle Output in Cellular Respiration

The citric acid cycle is a key stage of aerobic respiration in cells. It is also called the Krebs cycle or the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle. Plants and animals use this oxygen-requiring pathway as part of cellular respiration. This cycle happens after glycolysis and pyruvate oxidation. Glycolysis makes two pyruvate molecules from each glucose molecule. During pyruvate oxidation, each pyruvate becomes acetyl-CoA, which is the input for the citric acid cycle. That means one glucose molecule...

outcomes of glycolysis

Glycolysis Products in Cellular Respiration

Glycolysis is the first step of cellular respiration and breaks glucose into smaller molecules. Cells use this process to pull energy from glucose over a series of chemical reactions. Cellular respiration can happen with oxygen or without oxygen. In both aerobic and anaerobic cellular respiration, glycolysis makes a net gain of two pyruvate molecules, two NADH molecules, and two ATP molecules. Four ATP molecules are produced, but two ATP molecules are used earlier in the pathway. Glycolysis...

How Cellular Respiration Makes ATP

Cellular respiration makes ATP from glucose in several stages. The process usually produces 30 to 32 ATP per glucose molecule. Most of that ATP comes from oxidative phosphorylation and the electron transport chain, while 4 ATP are made earlier, with 2 from glycolysis and 2 from the citric acid cycle. The electron transport chain, or ETC, sits in the inner mitochondrial membrane. It has four main protein complexes and ATP synthase, the enzyme that makes ATP. NADH and FADH2 deliver electrons to...
