Term
what does TCA stand for
Definition
tricarboxcylic acid cycle
Term
what are other ways to say TCA cycle
Definition
crebs cycle, CAC
Term
overall what does the TCA cycle do
Definition
metabolizes carbs, AA, FA into CO2 which is exhaled. ATP production.
Term
where does the TCA cycle occur
Definition
in mitochondria near the ETC
Term
what does the ETC do, in general
Definition
couples oxidation of reduced coenzymes made in TCA to production of ATP
Term
what is the TCA cycle dependent on, why
Definition
oxygen, it is aerobic. because O2 is the final e- acceprot in the ETC
Term
what origional ingredients are lost in the TCA cycle, explain
Definition
none, oxaloacetate is the rectant and the final product of the ccle
Term
what is the reaction that connects glycolysis to the TCA cycle
Definition
oxidative decarboxylation of purivate, pyruvate to acetyl CoA
Term
what are the reactantS and productS of oxidative decarbodylation of pyruvate
Definition
pyruvate + CoA + NAD+ --> NADH + CO2 + acetyl CoA
Term
what enzyme catalyzes oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate
Definition
pyruvate dehydrogenase complex
Term
is oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate a comitted step, what does that mean
Definition
yes, only goes in one direaction
Term
what activates pyruvate dehydrogenase
Definition
pyruvate, NAD+, ADP, Ca in muscle, CoA
Term
what deactivates pyruvate dehydrogenase
Definition
acetyl CoA, NADH, ATP
Term
before oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate, but after glycolysis what needs to happen
Definition
pyruvate needs to be transported into the mitochondria via sepcific transporters
Term
what are the coenzymes included in the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex
Definition
thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP), lipoid acid, CoA, FAD, NAD+
Term
where does lipoic acid come from
Definition
made in the body
Term
where does CoA come from
Definition
pantothenic acid
Term
where does FAD come from
Definition
riboflavin
Term
where does NAD+ come from
Definition
niacin
Term
how many ATP are made total per glucose in the TCA cycle
Definition
12
Term
what is the break down of true products that adds up to 12 ATP total made in TCA cycle
Definition
3 NADH = 9 ATP,
1 FADH2 = 2 ATP,
1 GTP = 1 ATP
Term
after the TCA cycle, how many ATP have been made total
Definition
38
Term
explain how there are 38 total ATP after TCA per molecule of glucose
Definition
glycolysis: 8
oxydative decarboxylation of pyruvate: 2 NADH = 6 ATP
TCA: 24 ATP
Term
explain how glycolysis produces 8 ATP per molecule of glucose
Definition
2 ATP
2 NADH = 6 ATP
Term
in the TAC what does oxaloacetate turn into, what does it need to do this
Definition
citrate. it needs acetyl CoA and citrate synthase
Term
what regulates citrate synthase
Definition
substrate/product regulation
Term
what are the irreversible reaction enzymes of TCA
Definition
citrate synthase, isocitrate dehydrogenase, alpha-ketogluterate dehydrogenase complex
Term
what is the rate limiting step of TAC
Definition
isocitrate to alpha-ketogluterate via isocitrate dehydrogenase
Term
in the TAC what does citrate turn into
Definition
it can go inhibit PFK-1, it can do fatty acid synthesis, or turn into isocitrate
Term
what catalyzes citrate into isocitrate
Definition
acontiase
Term
what type of reaction is citrate to isocitrateq
Definition
isomerization
Term
what does isocitrate turn into in the TAC, what does it need to do this, what are all the products
Definition
isocitrate + NAD --> NADH + CO2 + alpha-ketogluterate
Term
what type of reaction is isocitrate to alpha-ketogluterate
Definition
oxidation and decarboxylation
Term
what inhibits isocitrate dehydrogenase
Definition
NADH, ATP
Term
what stimulates isocitrate dehydrogenase

CoA + NAD + alpha-ketogluterate --> NADH + CO2 + succinyl CoA
Term
what enzyme turns alpha-ketogluterate into succinyl CoA
Definition
alpha-ketogluterate DH
Term
what inhibits alpha-ketogluterate DH
Definition
NADH, Succinyl CoA
Term
what stimulates alpha-ketogluterate DH
Definition
Ca in muscle
