BioChem Block 4 Flashcards
ATP can be used do work such as what 4 things?
Contract muscles
Synthesize large molecules
Nerve impulses
Move substances across cell mem.
Define metabolism
All chemical reactions that provide energy and substances required for continued cell growth
What are the two metabolism reactions?
Catabolic- breaking down
Anabolic- build
What are the 3 stages of digestion?
1- digestion/hydrolysis
2- degradation/small oxidation
3- release of energy to synthesize ATP
What events occur in stage 1 of Digestion?
Polysaccharieds->mono
Fats->glycerol and FAs
Proteins-> aa
How does catabolism begin?
Digestion
As long as cell shave oxygen, ? and ? can be reoxidized via ?
NADH
FADH2
ETC
What are the 3 parts of ATP?
Adenine
Ribose sugar
3 phosphate groups
Hydrolysis of ATP can provide _ k/cal/kj
7.3 kcal
31kJ
Hydrolysis of ATP is an ___ reaction on an energy curve
Exothermic
What is the first step in breaking down glucose?
What does this require?
Adding phosphate
Requires 3.3kcal/14kj
ATP= ? + ? + ?
ADP + Pi + 7.3
G6P= ? + ? + ?
Glucose + Pi + 3.3
Overall ATP + glucose= ?
ADP + G6P + 4.0
Define Oxidation
Gain of O
Loss of H/e-/energy
Define Reduction
Gain of H/e-/energy
Loss of O
What does NAD stand for?
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide
What are the 3 parts of NAD?
Nicotinamide group
Ribose sugar
ADP
Oxidized form of NAD undergoes reduction when?
C atom in Nicotinamide reacts w/ 2 H, leaving one H
What kind of reactions is NAD required for?
Dehydrogenation that produce C=O
Give an example of a reaction that NAD would be a part of?
Oxidation of alcohols to aldehydes/ketones
Oxidation of ethanol to ethanal in liver w/ reduction of NAD to NADH + H
What does NADP stand for?
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate
What kind of reactions is NADP used for?
Anabolic reactions, lipid/nucleic acid synthesis
NADP and NAD are similar except
2’ OH group replaced w/ phosphate group
