fatty acids- broken down to Acetyl-CoA and goes to citric acid cycle Glycerol- enters glycolysis
67
How are proteins broken down for cellular respiration?
first broken down into amino acids can then be transported to glycolysis, citric acid cycle, or respiration depending on the protein
68

Intermediates by catabolism can be used for anabolic pathways
69
Cellular respiration is regulated through what enzyme? Where does it come from?
Phosphofructokinase (PFK) glycolysis step 3
70
Define the enzyme PFK
- catalyzes 3rd step glycolysis - has allosteric sites - can be negatively or positively regulated - controlled by FEEDBACK INHIBITION
71
How is PFK controlled?
ATP- can turn off enzyme, stops glycolysis, pyruvate oxidation, and citric acid cycle ADP, AMP- turn on the enzyme, ATP is low, need to produce more Citrate- turns enzyme off, if theres a lot of citric acid, glycolysis isn't need, citric acid cycle still proceeds
72
what are coenzymes? (See Chapter 8 for a description.) Explain how the coenzyme NAD+ is chemically altered when it is reduced, and when it is re-oxidized (i.e. what exactly is added and removed?). Where does this happen on the molecule?
Coenzymes are nonprotein compounds that are required for some enzymes to function. Example: NAD + When NAD+ is reduced to NAD the pos charge on the nitrogen disappears & a second hydrogen is added to the carbon w/ an already existing hydrogen. When NADH is oxidized a hydrogen is removed from the top carbon on the 6 ring & pos charge on the nitrogen is restored.
73
Which steps in glycolysis are energy investing vs. harvesting?
1-5 investing 6-10 harvesting
