Bioenergetics Flashcards
Cell without internal membrane bound bodies
Procaryotes
Cells with internal membrane bound bodies called organelles
Eucaryotes
Anabolism of proteins occurs in
Ribosome
Anabolism of carbohydrates and lipids occurs in
Cytoplasm
Powerhouse of the cell
Mitochondria
It is where anabolism in plant cell takes place
Chloroplast
An organelle that transport materials within the cell
Endoplasmic reticulum
It acts as an temporary storage places for electrons to be carried to mitochondrial electron system
Redox Coenzymes
What are the 3 Redox Coenzymes
NAD NADP FAD
Most dangerous reactive oxygen species
Hydroxyl
Most important nucleotide triphosphate
ATP
Convertion of glucose to glycogen
Glycogenesis
Reverse of glycogenesis
Glycogenolysis
Conversion of glucose to pyruvate
Embden-myerhot pathway
Producing glucose from non carbohydrate sources like lactate, amino acid, glycerol/fats
Gluconeogenesis
Glycolysis of glucose produce how many lactate
2
Chemical messenger of the body
Hormones
Conversion of nitrogen to biochemically use form of nitrogen
Nitrogen fixation
What cycle describes the N excretion process
Urea cycle
Conversion of acetyl COA to fatty acids
Lipogenesis
It is where the fats are stored
Adipose tissue
Transfer of amino group from alpha amino acid to alpha keto acid
Transamination
It is the total supply of amino acid in the body
Amino acid pool
