Cell Metabolism Flashcards
What are the 3 types of Cellular Respiration
External:outside to alveoli and lungs
Internal: gas exchange between blood to tissue
Cellular: oxygen and nutrient to break down ATP to create energy by product.
Oxidation
Loss of electrons where you lose hydrogen and replace with oxygen
What is the most oxidized form of Oxygen
CO2
Cellular respiration chemical reaction
C6H1206+6O2—-> 6CO2+6H2O+ATP
Glucose is oxidize by adding in O2, oxygen is then inhale to give CO2 during this cells make ATP
ATP
Adenine Triphosphate is reactive, and reusable
ADP CAN MAKE ATP again
Glucose to ATP occurs in 4 steps
Glycolysis
Pyruvate Decarboxylation
TCA (Kerbs Cycle )
ETC ( Electon transport chain
Glycolysis is
The breakdown of glucose It occurs in the cytosol of cells Is anaerobic( doesn’t require oxygen)
How many Pyruvate molecules form from 1 glucose molecule
2
Hexoinase is an Enzyme
Is the first step in glycolysis
It adds a phosphate group to glucose
Its irreversible
Stops glucose from leaving
Phosphofructokinase (PFK)
Is the 2nd limiting step, produce Fructose-1,6 bisphosphate
When you see this know that pfk has done it’s job
At end glucose gives
2NADH, 2ATP, 2 Pyruvate molecules
Where does Pyruvate decorboxylation, kerbs cycle, ETC occur
In the mitochondria matrix
Where does ATP production takes place?
in the mitochondria
Pyruvate decarboxylation
Occurs in the mitochondria matrix
by secondary CoA ( coenzyme A)
Is Pyruvate Decarboxylation reversible or irreversible
Irreversible
