Q

What happens to phosphofructokinase when there is too much ATP?

A

Phosphofructokinase has two binding sites for ATP; when ATP binds the the active site the reaction continues, when ATP levels are too high, it will bind the regulatory site and inhibits the enzyme

23
Q

What is the net results of the citric acid cycle?

A

2 CO2, 3 NADH, FADH2, GTP, CoA, 3 H+

24
Q

Amphibolic

A

Relates to both catabolism and anabolism.

25
Q

Glucose is completely oxidized to CO2 by…

A

Glycolysis, pyruvate processing, and the citric acid cycle

26
Q

As glucose is oxidized, free energy becomes…

A

More negative

27
Q

For each molecule of glucose that is oxidized, the cell produces…

A

6 CO2, 4 ATP, 10 NADH, and 2 FADH2.

28
Q

What happens to the reduced electron carriers after glucose oxidation?

A

NAD+ is a reduced electron carrier in glucose oxidiation because it is used to accept the electrons. FADH is used as well. NADH and FADH2 (the reduced form) moved to the electron transport chain donates a pair of electrons. Electrons are ultimately transferred to oxygen to form water.

29
Q

Where do NADH and FADH2 get oxidized?

A

In the inner membrane of the mitochondria, the electron transport chain.

30
Q

Ubiquinone (coenzyme Q)

A

Lipid-soluble, non-proteins part of the ETC.

31
Q

What are the four protein complexes of the ETC?

A

NADH-Q oxidoreductase, succinate Q reductase, Q-cytochrome c oxidoreductase, and cytochrome c oxidase.

32
Q

In what complex does NADH get oxidized?

A

Complex I, NADH dehydrogenase.

33
Q

In what complex does FADH2 get oxidized?

A

Complex II, succinate dehydrogenase.

34
Q

ADP to ATP is highly…

A

Thermodynamically unfavorable.

35
Q

Chemiosmosis

A

The process of driving protons through a proton channel in ATP synthase to produce ATP from ADP.

36
Q

ATP production is dependent on…

A

A proton-motive force generated by the proton electrochemical gradient.

37
Q

The conclusion of the chemiosmotic hypothesis was…

A

The linkage between the ETC and ATP production by ATP synthase is indirect; the synthesis of ATP only requires a proton gradient.

38
Q

What are the two components of ATP synthase?

A

An ATPase “knob” (F1 unit) and a membrane-bound proton-transporting base (F0 unit).

39
Q

Which unit of ATP synthase phosphorylates ADP?

A

The F0 unit spins, changing the conformation of the F1 unit so that it can phosphorylate ADP to ATP.

40
Q

What happens when the proton gradient stops?

A

ATP synthase can reverse direction to hydrolyze ATP to pump protons from the matrix to the intermembrane space.

41
Q

Malate-aspartate shuttle

A

Transfers reducing equivalents into the mitchondrion for the liver, kidney and heart.

42
Q

Glycerol-3-phosphate shuttle

A

Transfers reducing equivalents into the mitochondrion for the skeletal muscles and the brain.

43
Q

For each glucose molecules that is oxidized to 6 CO2, the cell…

A

Reduces 10 molecules of NAD+ to NADH and 2 molecules of FAD to FADH2, and produces 4 molecules of ATP by substrate level-phosphorylation.

44
Q

Oxygen is the most effective electron acceptor because…

A

It is highly electronegative, a large difference exists between the potential energy of electrons in NADH and O2 and it allows the generation of a large proton-motive force.

45
Q

Fermentation

Metabolic pathway that regenerate NAD+ from NADH. Glycolysis can continue to produce ATP by substrate-level phosphorylation in the absence of oxygen.
