Cards

Term
metabolism
Definition

all reacions that involve energy transformations

 

2 categories  

catabolic and anabolic

 

Term
Glycolysis
Definition

metabolic pathway where glucose is converted to 2 molecules of pyrucid acid (pyruvate)

 

glucose + 2 NAD + 2 ADP + 2P  >>  

 

2 pyruvic acid + 2 NADH + 2 ATP

Term
Is glycolysis exergonic or endergonic?
Definition
exergonic
Term
Glycolysis  what is produced?
Definition

Glycolysis is converted into 2 molecules of pyruvic acid

 

from those 2 molecules of pyruvic acid there is a net gain of

                2 ATP

                2 NADH   +    2 H+

Term
Lactic Acid Pathway
Definition

Metabolic pathway by which

 

glucose is converted to lactic acid 

 

anaerobie respiration

 

NADH + H+  > lactic acid and NAD

 

Produce a net of 2 ATP

Term
RBC
Definition

have no mitochondria

 

only uses lactic acid pathway

Term
Why can't cell store many glucose molecules?
Definition

It would draw water into them.

 

Stores glycogen. 

 

Many organs store glycogen. 

Term
glycogenesis
Definition
formation of glycogen from glucose
Term
Glycogneolysis
Definition

conversion of glycogen to glucose-6-phosphate

 

Please note:    that phosphate keeps it from leaking out of the cell

 

Term
Can skeletal muscles generate glucose 6 phosphate ?
Definition

Yes

 

BUT  only the liver

has the enzyme glucose-6-phosphatase that can remove the phosphate group

 and

 

produce free glucose

Term
What is the Cori Cycle?
Definition

Lactic acid is produced by anaerobic respiration

is dilivered to the liver

 

LDH (lactic dehydrogenase) changed lactic acid to pyruvate

 

Pyruvate changes to Glucose-6-phosphate

                    an intermediate for glucogen systhesis

                       and can be converted to free glucose

Term

The only organ that can make glucose

 

and the only organ that can convert pyruvic acid back to glucose

 

Definition
Liver
Term
Aerobic Respiration
Definition

1 glycolysis

2. Pyruvic from glycolysis enters mitochondria

3.  Converted by coenzyme A to molecules of acetyl CoA and 2 CO2

3. Acetyl Co serves as substrate for mitochondrial enzymes in the aerobic pathway

enters the Krebs cycle

4. Electron Transport Chain (System)

5. Oxygen is the final electron acceptor

end up with a total of 30 ATP   (# taught in this class)

Term

Krebs Cycle

or

Citric Acid Cycle

Definition

Acetyl Co A subunit combines with oxaloacetic acit to form citric acid

Citric acid enters the Krebs Cycle

Acetyl Co A molecule produces:

 

                     1 ATP           two     2 ATP

 

                      3 NADH        tw2     6 NADH

 

                       1 FADH 2      two     2 FADH2

but remember there are 2 pruvates from 1 molecule so we have 2 Krebs cyles going here.  that means 2ATP

6 NADH and 2 FADH2 

Term
Where are these NADH and FADH being made for?
Definition
To transport electrons to the electron transport chain and make ATP
Term
Electron Transport Chain
Definition

Christae of inner mitochondrial membrane

have molecules that serve as an electron transport system during aerobic exercise

 

Consistsd of cytochromes

 

Each cytochrome transfers electron pairs from NADH and FADH2 to the next cytochrome

Term
continue on electron transport chain
Definition

cytochrome a3  transfers electorons to O2, the final electron acceptor. 

 

Oxidative phosphorylations occurs

Energy derived is used to

phosphorylate ADP to ATP

 

Term

Coupling Electron Transport   to  ATP  Production

 

Chemiosmotic  theory:

Definition

ECT powered by transport of electron

pumps H+ from mitochondrial matrix

into the space between the inner and outer mitochondrial membranes

 

ECT has 3 proton pumps

It puts a higher H+ in intermember space

Inner mitochondrial membrane diffuses  H+ through respirator assembly.  

 

Phosphorylations coupled with oxidation when H+ diffuse through the assembly:     ADP and P  + ATP

 

 

Term
ATP   Balance sheet
Definition

Glycolysis = direct substrate phosphorylation - 2 ATP

 

Oxidative phosphorylation - 2.5 ATP for pair of e- each NADH donates

 

1.5 ATP for each pair of e- FADH2 donates

                                               (astivates pump 2 & 3)

 

net of 26 ATP produced in the electron transport chain

Term
Lipid metabolism
Definition

When more energy is taken in than consumed, ATP production is inhibited

 

Glucose is converted into glycogen and fat

Term
Lipogenesis
Definition

formation of fat

 

Acetic acid subunits from acetyo CoA converted into various lipids

 

Mainly happens in adepose tissue and liver

Term
Lipid metabolism
Definition

Lipolyisis   breakdown of fat

 

tryglycerices . glycerol + 3 free fatty acids

Term

Fat metabolism  and ATP    

beta oxidation of fat

Definition

  C-C       C-C       C-C       C-C

so four times through the krebs cycle

each of those breaks makes 1 acetyl Co A

and so each time in the krebs cycle

1 ATP     =      1

3 NADH   =    7.5

1 FADH2   =   1.5

                                               10 every time around

                              the kreb and it goes 4 times = 40

every break in the bond = 1 FADH = 1.5

                                     1 NADH = 2.5

                      10 X 4 = 40               4       3X4=12

                                    40     + 12  = 52 ATP

Term
Blood born energy carriers
Definition

free fatty acid

 

Free fatty acids serve as the major energy source derived fromt riglycerides

Term
Beta Oxidation
Definition

break down fat to make ATP

 

process by whick cells can use fatty acids

 

Enzymes remove 2 carbon acetic acid molecules from the end of fatty acid chain

Forms acetylCo A

Acetyl CoA enter Krebs cycle

ATP, NADH, FADH2 produced

Term
Ketone bodies...
Definition

when breakdown of fat

 

triglycerides in adipose tissue are borken down and resynthesized

----this ensures the blood will contain enough fatty acids for aerobid respiration

 

If ATP is sufficient, acetyl Co A channels into alternated pathways-----converted to ketone bodies

Term
Amino Acid Metabolism
Definition

Nitrogen is ingested primarily as a protein

 

to make protein breaks to urea is hard on kidneys

 

Excess urea excreted in urea

 

Nitrogen balance = nitrogen eaten minus amount excreted

 

 

 

Term
Transamination
Definition

Adequate amounts of amino acids are required for gowth and repair   

a new amino acid can be obtained by transamination

-----amine group (NH2) transferred from one amino acid to another

 

Catalyzed by specific enzyme (transaminase)

Term
Oxidative deamination
Definition

Process by which excess amino acids are eliminated

 

amine group from glutamic acid removed forming a keto acid and ammonia

-----keto acid can be used in the krebs cycle

-----ammonia is converted to urea and excreted

Term
Not all cells can use glucose as energy source
Definition

blood contains a variety of energy sources

glucose, ketone bodies, fatty acids, lactic acid and amino acids

 

Brain  uses glucose mainly

 

blood glucose is maintained since many organs spare glucose
