Ch 26 Glycolysis and anaerobic fermentation Flashcards
What is phosphorylation?
Adding of a phosphate group by an enzyme (ADP—Pi—>ATP)
Two types of phosphorylation
- Substrate level phosphorylation
- Oxidative phosphorylation
Substrate level phosphorylation
Directly Phosphorylizing ADP to ATP utilizing energy and enzymes
Oxidative phosphorylation
Indirectly phosphor lysing due to a transfer of electrons (redox) in electron transport chain
In organic phosphate Pi
Circulating phosphate that gets added to ADP to make ATP
Key coenzymes of glucose catabolism and their functions
- NAD+
- FAD^2+
-can be reduced with addition of electrons (electron carriers)
-Carriers of H+
NAD+ is derived from and makes _____ with the addition of 2H
-Derived from niacin (b vitamin)
- NAD+ + 2H —> NADH + H+
FAD^2+ is derived from and makes ____ with the addition of 2H
-Derived from riboflavin
- FAD +2H —> FADH2
Oxidative carbohydrate metabolism is _____ _____. It’s primary function is______.
Glucose metabolism; turn glucose into ATP
Carbohydrate metabolism equation
C6H12O6 + 6O2—> 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP + Heat
Why is glucose catabolism spread across multiple steps?
Less intense release of energy; also takes less energy to do it slowly
Glucose catabolism provides a multitude of routes of ______called ______.
Metabolic pathways called intermediate pathways
In glucose catabolism, as much energy as possible is transferred to _____and the rest is released as _____
ATP; Heat
Most Pathways of glucose metabolism start with ______
Glycolysis
What happens to glucose in glycolysis?
6C are split into 2 pyruvate molecules (3C 3C)
