Term

effect of time on

-ATP-PC system

-glycolysis

-aerobic metabolism

Definition

Term
the ATP-CP system
Definition
CP <--> C + Pi + energy
ADP + Pi + energy <-->

CP + ADP <--> ATP + C
Term
2 phases of glycolysis
Definition
1.) energy investment

2.) energy generation
Term

glycolysis energy investment phase

 

(5 steps, need whiteboard)

Definition

first step is to phosphorylate the glucose molecule

 

[image]

Term
glycolysis energy generation phase
Definition

formation of lactate allows aerobic glycolysis to continue

 

net ATP = 2

 

sufficient availability of NAD is required for anaerobic glycolysis to continue

 

 

[image]

Term

continuation of glycolysis and NAD:

 

how is NAD reformed from reduced NADH in 2 ways?

Definition

1.) when sufficient O2 is available NADH is shuttled into mitochondria where O2 accepts the hydrogens at the end of the ETC forming H2O

 

2.) if NADH production exceeds ability to be used in ETC, hydrogens can be accepted by pyruvic acid to form lactic acid

 

*why contiune anaerobic glycolysis?*

 

the rate of ATP production is 100x faster than aerobic mitochondrial ATP production

Term
three phases of aerobic ATP production
Definition

1.)generation of acetyl-CoA

2.)oxidation of acetyl-CoA in Krebs cycle

3.)oxidative phosphorylation in the ETC

 

[image]

Term

Krebs cycle

(citric acid cycle)

Definition

-occurs within the mitochondria

 

-completes the oxidation of substrates and produces NADH and FADH to enter the ETC

 

-forms small amount of ATP (from GTP via substrate level phosphorylation)

 

-1 cycle yields: 1 ATP, 3 NADH, 1 FADH

Term

ETC

 

(electron transport chain)

Definition

-oxidative phosphorylation

 

-e- removed from NADH and FADH are passed along a series of carriers to produce ATP


-H+ from NADH and FADH are accepted by O2 to form water

Term
oxidative phosphorylation
Definition

the process in which ATP is formed as a result of the transfer of e- from NADH or FADH2 to O2 by a series of e- carriers in the ETC

 

occurs in mitochondria

Term
definition of chemiosmotic hypothesis of ATP formation
Definition

chemiosmosis is the movement of ions across a selectively-permeable membrane, down their electrochemical gradient

 

the movement of H+ across a mitochondrial membrane

 

Peter D. Mitchell

Term

mechanisms of the chemiosmotic hypothesis of ATP formation

 

part 1

Definition

-the energy in NADH and FADH2 is used in the ETC to form ATP

 

-the e- from the hydrogens transported by NADH and FADH2 to mitochondria are passed along the ETC by cytochromes


-as the e- move along the ETC energy is released

 

-some energy is used to pump H+ ions across inner mitochondrial membrane into the intermembrane space

Term

mechanisms of the chemiosmotic hypothesis of ATP formation

 

part 2

Definition

-H+ can only pass through special channels (ATP synthase) in the inner membrane

 

-results in INC [H+] within intermembrane space which creates an electrical gradient across the inner membrane, a form of PE

 

-H+ ions can only move through the inner membrane through special channels (ATP synthase). The movement of H+ through these channels activates ATP synthase

Term

mechanisms of the chemiosmotic hypothesis of ATP formation

 

part 3

Definition

-as H+ pass through ATP synthase channels some of the PE can be captured to drive the r(x) to form ATP from ADP + Pi (oxidative phosphorylation)

 

-ATP synthase catalzes oxidative phosphorylation, thus converting PE into chemical energy in the form of ATP

Term
theoretical yield and actual yeild from a molecule of glucose
Definition

theoretical yield: 38 ATPs

 

actual yield: 32 ATPs

Term

why difference between theoretical yield and actual yeild from a molecule of glucose?

Definition

-difference due to cost of transport of ATP across mitochondrial membrane into the cytoplasm

 

-actual costs calculated into tally by reducing the ATP yield from each NADH to 2.5 and from each FADH to 1.5

Term

summary of aerobic metabolism

 

(need whiteboard)

Definition

1.) choose 1: glucose or glycogen (w/in cytoplasm)


glucose + 2 ADP + 2 PO4 --> 2 pyruvate + 2 ATP + 2 NADH


glycogen + 2 ADP + 2 PO4 --> 2 pyruvate + 3 ATP + 2 NADH


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Term

summary of aerobic metabolism ctnd.

 

(need whiteboard)

Definition

2.) inside mitochondria

2 pyruvate + 2 CoA -->  2 acetyl-CoA + 2 NADH             (2 cycles of Krebs)


3.) total ATP

An. glycolysis      2 ATP (3 ATP)

Krebs cycle         2 ATP

10 NADH            25 ATP  [10 x 2.5]

2 FADH2             3 ATP  [2 x 1.5]


TOTAL              32 ATP (33 ATP)

Term
efficiency of oxidative phosphorylation
Definition

overall efficiency of aerobic respiration is about 34%

 

about 66% of energy released as heat

Term
beta oxidation
Definition

-located in mitochondrial matrix

 

-degrades Fatty acyl-CoA to Acetyl-CoA's

 

-produces high-energy intermediates (NADH and FAHD2) for ATP production in ETC

 

-does NOT produce ATP

Term
3 steps of beta oxidation
Definition

1.) formation of fatty acyl-CoA molecule from fatty acid in the cytoplasm

 

2.) transport of fatty acyl-CoA to inside of mitochondria

 

3.) degradation of the fatty acyl-CoA via beta oxidation

 

4.) each cycle of beta oxidation yields 1 acetyl-CoA, 1 NADH, 1 FADH2

 

 

 

 

Term

Definition

Term
more beta oxidation
Definition

-a reduced state of mitochondrial cofactors (NADH and FADH) will inhibit the dehydrogenases

 

-oxidized cofactors (NAD- and  FAD) and low levels of acetyl-CoA will stimulate beta oxidation

 

-production of fatty acyl-CoA requires EA = to 2 ATPs and occurs in cytoplasm

Term

  • acetyl-CoA = # carbons/2 =  #cycles
  • NADH = # cycles -1
  • FADH = # cycles -1
Term

Definition

-rate limiting enzymes

-an enzyme that regulates rate of a metabolic pathway

 

-levels of ATP and ADP+Pi

-high levels of ATP inhibit ATP production

-low levels of ATP and high levels of ADP and Pi stimulate ATP production

 

-calcium may stimulate aerobi ATP production

Term
interaction between aerobic and anaerobic ATP production
Definition
  • energy to perform exercise comes from an interaction between aerobic and anaerobic pathways
 
  • effect of duration and intensity
    • short-term, high-intensity
      • greater contribution of anaerobic energy systems
    • long-term, low to moderate-intensity exercise
      • majority of ATP produced from aerobic sources
