Q

Cells requires sources of free energy

A

maintaining life requires constant investment in energy, when a cell can no longer obtain energy it dies and decays

  • free energy is energy available to perform work and is
    accquired from nutrient molecules

Q

Substrate level phosphorylation

A
  • formation of ATP by the transfer of a phophoryl froup
    from a substrate to ADP
  • distinguished from respiration linked phosphorlyation
  • substrate level phosphorylation requires soluble
    enzymes and chemical intermediates
  • respiration linked phosphorylates involve membrane
    bound enzymes and transmembrane gradients of
    protons and require oxygen

A

Niacin

23
Q

Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD+):

A

NAD+ and NADP+ accept PAIRS of e- to form NADH or NADPH

it is the nicotinamide that is the functional part of the molecule

24
Q

NADH for
NADPH for

A
  • ATP synthesis
  • reductive biosyntheses
25
Q

Recycling of NADH and FADH2 is via the

A

respiratory chain in the mitochondria

OXIDATIVE PHOSPHORYLATION

26
Q

summary of energy metabolism

A
27
Q

glycolysis summary

A
28
Q

2 fates of pyruvate

A
  • aerobic: oxidation and complete degradation
  • hypoxic: reduced to lactate
29
Q

structure of mitochondria

A
30
Q

Transport of pryuvate into the mitochondria:

A
  • aerobic: pyruvate transport occurs via the specific
    carrier protein embedded in the mitochondrial
    membrane
  • pyruvate undergoes oxidative deccarboxylation by the
    ***pryuvate dehydrogenase complex to form acetyl
    CoA
  • reaction is irreversible and is the direct physical link link between
    glycolysis and the citric acid cycle
31
Q

Reaction equation the is the link between glycolysis and the citric acid cycle?

A

pyruvate +CoA + NAD+ -> acetyl CoA + CO2 + NADH + H+

32
Q

Glycolysis priming stages

A

Glucose-G3P is training stage because energy needs to be put in; ENERGY REQUIRED!!!
Committed step is F6P to FBP; by phosphofructoskinase-1; want more G3P

33
Q

Glycolysis payoff stages

A

GAPDH changes G3P to 1,3 BGP by reducing 1 NAD to NADH
**PGK uses substrate level phosphorylation to change 1,3 BGP to 3-phosphoglycerate
Mutase changes 3-phosphoglycerate into 2-phospho-glycerate
Enolase changes this into phosphophenolpyruvate
***Which is turned into pyruvate by PRYUVATE KINASE; also substrate level phosphorylation

34
Q

Fate of pyruvate:

Why has this system of lactate production evolved?

A

RBC do not have mitochondria so no Kreb cycle so always make lactacte, which is taken to liver

35
Q

A hydride ion

A

Is a proton with two electrons

36
Q

Kerbs/Citric acid cycle

A
37
Q

Kerbs/Citric acid cycle: 2 carbon acetyl groups are fed into the cycle which

A

Enzymatically oxidises them to CO2; the energy released is stored as either ATP, NADH, FADH2

38
Q

What are the 9 steps of the critic acid cycle?

A

1) oxaloacetate joins Acetyl CoA to form citrate
2) citrate is converted to isocitrate
3) isocitrate id decarboxylated to alpha ketoglutarate (NADH produced)
4) succinate CoA is added to alpha ketoglutarate by oxidative decarboxylation (NADH produced)
5) succinyl CoA converted to succinate (ATP)
6) succinate is dehydrogenated to fumarate (FADH2)
7) fumurate hydrated to malate
8) malate dehydrogenated to oxoaloacetate (NADH)
9) Citric acid cycle begins again

39
Q

Step 1 of the citric acid cycle:

A
  • acetyl CoA and oxaloacetate joined by enzyme citric synthesis in a condensation reaction to form citrate
40
Q

Step 2 of the citric acid cycle

A

Aconitase enzyme converts citrate into isocitrate

41
Q

Step 3 of the citric acid cycle

A

Enzyme isocitrate dehydrogenase -> Isocitrate is decarboxylated to alpha ketoglutarate using NAD and creating NADH

42
Q

Step 4 of the citric acid cycle:

A

Alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase -> alpha ketoglutarate and succinate CoA join to form succinyl CoA, CO2 and uses NAD and forms NADH

43
Q

Step 5 of the citric acid cycle

A

Enzyme succinyl-CoA synthetase converts succinate to succinyl CoA via substrate level phosphorylation producing ATP

44
Q

Step 6 of the citric acid cycle:

A

Enzyme Succinate dehydrogenase -> Succinate is dehydrogenated to fumurate generating FADH2

45
Q

Step 7 of the citric acid cycle

A

Enzyme fumurase hydrates fumurate to malate

46
Q

Step 8 of the citric acid cycle

A

Enzyme Malate dehydrogenase -> Malate is dehydrogenated to oxaloacetate generating NADH

47
Q

THE CITRIC ACID CYCLE PRODUCT TALLY:

A

1 turn of cycle: 2 carbons enter (acetyl CoA), 2 carbons leave (CO2 x2)

For one glucose molecule:
Glycolysis: 4 ATP, NADH
Citric acid cycle:
- 3 x NADH x2 = 6NADH
- 1x ATP x2 = 2 ATP
- 1 x FADH2 x 2 = 2 FADH2

48
Q

Regulation of the citric acid cycle

A
  • flow of carbon atoms from pyruvate into and through the citric acid cycle is tightly regulated at 2 levels:

1) conversion of pyruvate into acetyl Co-A (PDH reaction)
2) entry of acetyl-CoA into the TCA cycle (citrate synthase reaction)
3) isocitrate dehydrogenase to alpha ketoglutarate dehydrogenase reaction

49
Q

Regulation of the TCA cycle

A
50
Q

The electron transport chain

A
  • NADH and FADH2 are re-oxidised using electron transport proteins
  • series of coupled oxidation and reduction reactions
  • electron transport chain or respiratory chain
  • terminal acceptor of electrons is O2 which is REDUCED to H20

A
  • electrical
  • chemical potential
  • proton concentration
  • proton pumping

  • 3
  • 5

52
Q

ATP synthase

A
  • composed to structures F0 and F1
  • F0 resides in the innner membrane of mitochondria
  • F1 projects into the matrix
  • as H+ flows through the membrane, the cylinder within F0 and the y shaft rotate
  • as the y shaft interacts with each of the beta subunits of F1, they change conformation and facilitate the formation of ATP from ADP and Pi
