23
Q

2 things the brain depends on for its energy supply

A

glucose and oxygen delivery

24
Q

2 fates of NADH generated by glycolysis

A

enters electron transport chain(aerobic) reoxidized by lactate dehydrogenase to be reused in glycolysis(incytosol is anaerobic)

25
Q

2 fates of pyruvate generated by glycolysis

A

oxidized to acetyl CoA enters TCA cycle or reduced to lactate and diverted away

26
Q

NADH once generated by glycolysis can’t cross the mitochondrial membrane its electrons are donated to DHAP and in the presence of 3P dehydrogenase what is generated? what happens next?

A

glycerol 3P electrons transferred to FADH2 used by CoQ in electron transport chain to generate ATP

27
Q

another alternate NADH pathway is the malate aspartate shuttle. here oxaloacetate accepts electrons from NADH to become malate which passes through the inner mitochondrial membrane and donates its electrons to NAD–>NADH which then enters what to generate ATP

A

electron transport chain

28
Q

starting with glyceraldehyde3P and synthesizing one molecule of pyruvate what is the net ield of ATP and NADH

A

2ATP and 1NADH

29
Q

when glycogen is degraded glucose-1P is isomerized to G6P starting with glucose1P and ending with 2 molecules of pyruvate what is the net yeild of glycolysis in terms of ATP and NADH

A

2 ATP 2 NADH

30
Q

in the beginning of the glycolysis pathway how many ATP are consumed

A

2 molecules

31
Q

what is the result of the glycerol 3 phosphate shuttle? result of the malate aspartate shuttle?

A

NAD+ remains in cytosol for both shuttles and FADH2(G3P) and NADH(Mal/ASP) end up in matrix

32
Q

in anaerobic glycolysis such as what occurs in red blood cells how is NADH recycled to NAD+?

A

by reducing pyruvate to lactate

33
Q

in the presence of oxygen(mitochondria) pyruvate will enter the mitochondria and go to the TCA cycle to yield approx how much ATP

A

12.5 ATP

34
Q

how does lactic acidosis result from anaerobic glycolysis

A

pyruvate is reduced to lactic acid which dissoc into lactate and H+ and enters blood lowering pH

35
Q

lactobacilli and S. Mutans are bacteria found in teeth that use glucose for energy what do they cause/generate

A

lactic acid can cause dental caries

36
Q

in response to hypoxemia what factor is generated in tissues that inc glycolysis transcription factors, causes erythropoiten release, and cause synthesis of NO(vasodilator)

A

HIF-1; hypoxia inducible factor-1

37
Q

in the TCA cycle pyruvate gets completely oxidized to form what

A

CO2

38
Q

tissues with low ATP demand, high levels of glycolytic enzymes and few capilarries such that oxygen has to diffuse over a large distance to reach target cells generate energy via

A

anaerobic glycolysis

39
Q

lactate generated from pyruvate will enter the liver and do what

A

be oxidized back to pyruvate and used to synthesize glucose

40
Q

heart muscle, resting skeletal mm during exercise, and neurons are capable of using what for energy

A

lactate

41
Q

muscle fibers: type I fast are called ___? type IIb slow fibers are called___. which one has a higher content of mitochondria and myoglobin

A

42
Q

pyruvate dehydrogenase is used to convert pyruvate to acetyl CoA what stimulates its activity? inhibits it?

A

stim by ADP Ca2+ inhibitied by NADH and acetylCoA

43
Q

duringMI absence of oxygen to an ischemic area of the heart woud dec ATP inc AMP and activate PFK-1 so that anaerobic glycolysis and lactate production would occur. what would happen to inhibit this glycolysis so it wouldn’t be able to compensate for the lack of oxidative phosphorylation?

A

increased levels of lactic acid would decrease the pH in the area bc the lactatic acid isn’t getting removed this would inhibit glycolysis

44
Q

lactic acidosis generally results from an increased ration of NADH/NAD+ which ones concentration is increased and what does this cause

A

NADH prevents pyruvate from going to TCA cycle and directs it to form lactate

45
