Chapter 1 Flashcards
Metabolism Cycle:
Glycogen (Glycogen Phosphorylase) Glucose (Hexokinase) Glucose 6-Phosphate Pyruvic acid (Pyruvate dehydrogenase) Acetyl CoA Krebs
How much more ATP can be made using Krebs than just glycolysis?
19x more
Glycogen sparing effect
Free fatty acids, with a higher concentration of energy- can be used by the brain instead of carb if elevated for a period of time
What do free fatty acids bind to in blood?
Albumin (3 binding sites)
Keeps concentration low so more can bind
Examples of positive feedback
Estrogen & LH
Clotting factors
Oxytocin & parturition of smooth muscles
Skeletal Muscle
Striated
Multinucleated
Voluntary
Cardiac Muscles
Striated, branched
Unineucleated
Gap junctions
Involuntary
Smooth Muscle
Smooth Uninucleated Gap junctions No overlapping myofilaments Involuntary
How much of body weight is water?
60% (42L)
How much of water is intracellular fluid?
2/3
How much of water in extracellular 1/3 is interstitial fluid?
80% (other 20% for plasma)
Where is glycogen phosphorylase located?
Liver
pKa of bicarbonate:
pH 6-8
When pKa=pH
max buffering capacity
50% acid, 50% neutral
Integrin
Glycoprotein extension from cytoskeleton outside cell into matrix joining other cells
