Cards

Term
Anabolic and Catabolic Pathways
Definition
Anabolic: food molecules are digested & absorbed. Use these molecules as building blocks to make larger molecules. Build complex molecules
Catabolic:Energy is contained in the bonds that hold the food molecules together
Transfer food energy to cellular energy
Stage 1: digestion, absorption, transport
Stage 2: breakdown of simple sugars, fatty acids, glycerol, and amino acids releases energy
Stage 3: transfer of energy to a form cells can use called ATP
Term
Location and Products of Glycolysis
Definition
Pathway splits glucose into 2 pyruvates
Transfers electrons to NAD producing NADH
Produces some ATP
Term
Pyruvate Oxidation
Definition
?
Term
End Products of Glucose Breakdown
Definition
ATP, H2O, CO2
Term
Role of ETC; What does it do?
Definition
uses the energy from electrons to translocate protons to intermembrane space.
Protons move from intermembrane space through ATP synthase into matrix driving the synthesis of ATP
Known as chemiosmosis/proton motive force
Term
Location & Purpose of Beta- Oxidation
Definition
Two-carbon units removed from an activated fatty acid in a cyclic pathway, produces acetyl CoA
degradative pathway is called β-oxidation bc the β-carbon atom (C-3) of the f.a. is oxidized
Four steps are required for acetyl CoA
1.Oxidation 2.Hydration3.Further oxidation4.Thiolysis
Term
Ketone Production***
Definition
acytl choline changes to ketone prod when carb intake too low
Term
Fatty Acids and Energy Production
Definition
Term
End Products of Amino Acid Breakdown
Definition
Yields to urea, CO2, H20, and ATP
Term
Storage of Glycogen
Definition
glycogen is the storage form of glucose,
75% is stored in muscle, 25% in the liver
Term
Fatty Acid Synthesis: How does it start?
Definition
Requires start molecule of acytl CoA, CoA is formed in mitochondria, exported to cytoplasm as citrate, CoA is usedfor prouction of aceytl ACP and malonyl ACP
Term
Glucagon
Definition
raises blood glucose and stimulates glucogenesis; catabolic
Term
Cortisol
Definition
promotes glucogenesis; catabolic
Term
Epinephrine
Definition
stimulates conversion of glycogen to glucose in muscles; catabolic
Term
Insulin
Definition
Lowers blood glucose, promotes anabolism and inhibits catabolism
Term
Ketones
Definition
brain uses ketones,liver makes but doesn't use, red blood cells can't use
