Term
Summarize the ATP-ADP cycle including the types of fuels used and the work accomplished. |
|
Definition
ATP is hydrolyzed to ADP . This releases -7.3 Kcal/mol The high energy bond is due to the repulsion of the multiple negatively charged phospate groups. |
|
|
Term
In words, what is delta-G? |
|
Definition
the change in Gibbs free energy/ The maximujm amount of useful energy generated by a reaction |
|
|
Term
What is a high energy bond? Given the structure of ATP, identify the high energy bonds. |
|
Definition
A bond containing -7 Kcal.mol or greater. Its located between phosphate groups 1 and 2 and 2 and 3 in atp. |
|
|
Term
Understand the difference between delta-G and delta-G0!? |
|
Definition
Delta G is maximum amount of useful energy from a reaction. delta G0' is energy generated with 1M concentrations, pH 7, H2O =55 M and 25 degrees celsius. its is also corrected for the energy that goes into entropy. |
|
|
Term
Be able to explain how the free energy of ATP can be used to contract a muscle. |
|
Definition
by releasing the myosin head, moving it down the actin filament, reattaching lower down, and pushing it along. |
|
|
Term
Be able to explain how the free energy in ATP can be used by the Na+, K+-ATPase to pump sodium and potassium ions through a cell membrane. |
|
Definition
by changing the conformation of membrane spanning pump protiens. |
|
|
Term
Be able to explain how the free energy in ATP can be used to synthesize glucose-6-phosphate from glucose and phosphate even though this reaction is endergonic. |
|
Definition
The energy present in the ATP is more than the energy needs of the reaction. It overwhelms their resistance and forces the reaction along. |
|
|
Term
Given two equations with the delta-G0! for each reaction, be able to add or subtract an equation and determine if the reaction as spontaneous. |
|
Definition
A reaction with a negative delta Go' will be spontaneous. |
|
|
Term
Given the equation at the bottom of Table 19.2, be able to explain why delta-G can be positive while delta-G0! is negative and visa versa. |
|
Definition
differnet conditions affect the nature of the reaction. Delta Go" assumes standard conditions. |
|
|
Term
What is the function of nucleoside monophosphokinases and nucleoside diphosphate kinase? Is it possible to have a high ratio of ATP to ADP and not have a high ratio of GTP to GDP? |
|
Definition
they work like ATP but power specifc enzymes. Yes |
|
|
Term
Be able to write the reaction for adenylate kinase |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
In addition to the nucleoside phosphates, be able to identify 1,3- bisphosphoglycerate, Phosphoenolpyruvate, Creatine phosphate, and Acetyl CoA as high energy compounds |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
Be able to describe how the hydrocarbons in our diet are converted to CO2, H20, and ATP. Include the reduction and oxidation of coenzymes and the creation and use of proton gradients in your explanation. |
|
Definition
carbohydrates are broken apart generating CO2 and H2O. This process reduces NAD and FAD. They then donate these electrons to O2 in the process creating a proton gradient that generates ATP |
|
|
Term
What is oxidative phosphorylation? |
|
Definition
the generation of posphorylated ATP through the oxidation of Carbohydrates |
|
|
Term
Describe three general ways that oxidation or reduction occurs in the body. |
|
Definition
transfer of a hydrogen atom direct addition of oxygen direct donation of electrons. |
|
|
Term
How do NAD+, FAD, and FMN function? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
What is an anaerobic pathway? What is anaerobic glycolysis? |
|
Definition
non oxygen requiring a method of fuel production that requires no oxygen |
|
|
Term
What kind of reaction is catalyzed by cytochrome oxidase? What is oxidized and what is reduced? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
What kind of reaction is catalyzed by cytochrome P450 monooxygenase? What is oxidized and what is reduced? What do monooxygenases, hydroxylases, and mixed function oxygenase oxidases have in common |
|
Definition
the transfer of electrons from a flavin to oxygen flavin is oxydized oxygen is reduced the incorporation of one or both atoms of oxygen into their substrate |
|
|
Term
Assume a sudden loss of oxygen supply to a cell. Give a simple scenario (sequence of events) that might lead to cell death (necrosis) and release of enzymes. Use the terms hypoxia, oxidative phosphorylation, ATP concentration, active transport, intracellular Ca2+, swelling, permeability, and creatine kinase |
|
Definition
Loss of oxygen leads to a loss of ATP and the osmotic gradients it creates. This leads to swelling and ruptures |
|
|
Term
Concerning Otto Shape, what are two general methods he could use to vary his daily fat storage? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
Concerning Otto Shape, if his diet contained the same number of carbon atoms but he ate carbohydrates instead of alcohol and fat, would his weight change? Why? |
|
Definition
yes the bonds in alcohol and fat have different energy than the ones in carbohydrates |
|
|
Term
Concerning X.S. Teefore who has hyperthyroidism, what is the major hormone secreted from his thyroid gland? What is the major hormone acting in target cells? What is the general effect of this hormone on the cells of the body? |
|
Definition
T3 speeds up the generation of ATP and makes the body run less efficiently |
|
|
Term
Concerning X.S. Teefore who has hyperthyroidism. Assume that he is eating at least the same amount of food as before he developed the disease, why is he loosing weight and why is he sweating? |
|
Definition
