RESPIRATION:

glucose+6O2-->6CO2+6H2O +energy(686kcal/mol)

1.Glycolysis-first step

Definition
  • Occurs in cytoplasm
  • 1 Glucose --> 2 pyruvate +4 ATP (2 net ATP )
  • Regulation : allosteric inhibition of phosphofructokinase by ATP
  • ATP inhibts phosphofructokinase in step:

Fructose-6-phosphate==> fructose1,6-phosphate

 

Term
Phosphofructokinase - enzyme which converts fructose-6-phosphate to fructose-1,6-bisphosphate in glycolysis
Definition

2 sites:

  1. Active site- ATP binds--> ADP+ frcustose1,6-bisphosphate
  2. Regulatory site- high ATP concentration; enzyme confirm Changes; reaction rates drop dramatically

ATP  ACTS AS ALLOSTERIC REGULATOR! 

 

 

Term

Kreb's Cycle- happens in mitochondrion

Definition

1.Pyruvate actively transported into Mitochnodrion Through small pores

2.Preparotory step:

Pyruvate==>Actetyl+ CO2

Acetyl+CoA==> oxaloacytate

Results: Substrate level phosphorylation:

1Pyruvate-> 4NADH+1FADH2+GTP(guanosine triphosphate)

Term
Regulation of Kreb's Cycle
Definition

If ATP levels are high:

3 points of contorol

1.phosphorylation of dehydragenase=> inhibts activity

2.NADH binds to enzyme's active site==>competitve inhibiton

3. ATP binds to an allosteric regulatory site

Other forms of inhibition:

feedback inhibition occurs when an enzyme that is active early in metabolic pathway is inhibited by a product of the pathway 

Term

Electron Transport Chain+ Chemiosmosis- occurs in inner memberan spase (membrane of cristae)

Definition

1. membrane of christae contains ubiquinone(co-enzymeQ):

-not a protein; carbon ring+ispropene tail which makes it hydrophobic and lipid soluble=> can move easily through membrane

3.NADH+FADH2 are proccesed and they differ in electronegativity

reaction goes:

low e.n.=(transfer of e)=> high e.n;potential energy decrease

4.Oxygen is final e acceptor

 

 

Term
HOW E.T WORKS?????
Definition
  1. Electrons are pumped from matrix of the mitochondiran through the inner membrane space out to the intermembrane space(interior of cristae)
  2. Inside  cristae is  positevly chrage -high concentration of protons<=favors movement od protons into matrix } creates proton-motive force=> ATP IS PRODUCED

 

Term
Electron transport chain-organization(picture!)
Definition
  1.  4 complexes<=protons are pumped by 3
  2. Q and cytochrom C acts as shuttles
  3. Q in complex III accepts e from I and II and is being reduced by protons
  4. ATP Synthase catalyzes most of ATP production:
  •  3 untis;flow of proteins through F0 unit causes stalk to spin; F1 rotates=> confirmation changes; ADP is phosphorylated to ATP
Term
Fermentaion-ATP production without e acceptor
Definition

1. Lactic Acid fermenatation: NADH gives e to pyruvate producing  lactate

2.Acetyldehyde accepts e from NADH; CO2  and ethanol is produced
