Chapter 16- Glycolysis Flashcards

1
Q

What are the 3 stages of the generation of energy from food?

A
  1. Large molecules in food are broken down into smaller molecules in the process of digestion
  2. Many small molecules are processed into key molecules of metabolism (acetyl CoA)
    3 ATP is produced from the complete oxidation of the acetyl component of acetyl CoA

Q

What is starch glycogen and cellulose?
What are they converted to and by what?

Why can’t we digest cellulose? (Difference between cellulose and starch/glycogen)

A

Starch and glycogen are degraded to glucose, maltose and oligosaccharides by salivary and pancreatic amylases
In ruminants, cellulose is converted to glucose by cellulase

Can’t digest cellulose because it has beta 1-4 linkages while starch and glycogen have alpha 1-4 link

Q

What are the 3 main sugars in the small intestine?

What are they converted to and by what?

A
  1. Lactose (milk sugar)- converted to glucose and galactose by lactase (β-galactosidase)
  2. Sucrose (common sugar)- converted to glucose and fructose by sucrase (invertase)
  3. Maltose- converted to glucose by maltase

Galactose and fructose can be further converted to glucose if not converted in small intestine they go to liver to be metabolized

These monosaccharides are then transported into the cells and then to bloodstream

Q

What is the net reaction for glycolysis? How much atp molecules are produced?

A

Glucose + 2Pi + 2ADP + 2NAD+ —-> 2 pyruvate + 2 ATP + 2NADH + 2H+ + 2H2O

2 molecules of ATP produced in conversion of glucose to pyruvate

17
Q

What are the 6 types of reactions in glycolysis?

A
  1. Phosphoryl transfer - kinases (phosphoryl group is transferred from ATP to a glycolytic intermediate or vice versa)
  2. Phosphoryl shift- mutase (shift from one oxygen to another)
  3. Isomerization- isomerases (conversion between ketone and aldose)
  4. Dehydration- enolase (removal of water molecule)
  5. Aldol cleavage- aldolase (split of C-C bond)
  6. Dehydrogenation- dehydrogenase (oxidation reduction)
18
Q

What are the 3 characteristics of the phosphorlyated intermediates?

A
  1. Phosphate groups are completely ionized at physiological pH (7) gives intermediates negative charge impermeable to membranes
  2. Phosphate groups are essential for formation of atp from adp
  3. Phosphate groups serve as recognition for proper fit of intermediates to active sites of corresponding enzymes
19
Q

What are fermentation’s? (Pyruvate to ethanol)

A

Fermentation’s are ATP generating pathways in which electrons are removed from one organic compound and passed to another
Pyruvate to ethanol generates NAD+

Pyruvate to acetaldehyde is catalyzed by pyruvate decarboxylase (needs vitamin thiamine)
Acetaldehyde to ethanol is catalyzed by alcohol dehydrogenase

Q

Memorize the structures of thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP) and hydroxyethyl thiamine pyrophosphate on slides 23-24

A

Okay

21
Q

How is pyruvate converted to lactate?
What enzyme catalyzes this?
What is the net reaction lactic acid formation?

A

Slide 25
NADH can also be oxidized by converting Pyruvate to lactAte

This reaction is catalyzed by the enzyme lactate dehydrogenase

Glucose + 2Pi + 2ADP -> 2 lactate + 2 ATP + 2H2O
^ lactic acid formation

22
Q

Study the chart of the metabolism of galactose and fructose on slide 26
Where is galactose metabolized?
How is fructose metabolized?

A

Galactose metabolized in liver
Fructose can go straight to glucose 6 phosphate and can go to liver but goes through a few reactions then ends with two end products

23
Q

What are the two intermediates of the glycolytic pathway?

How are these two made?

A

Dihydroxyacetone phosphate
Glyceraldehyde 3 phosphate

Fructose is converted to fructose 1 phosphate by fructokinase
Then fructose 1 phosphate is converted to Glyceraldehyde and dihydroxyacetone (one is phosphorylated and one is not) by fructose 1 phosphate aldose
Then Glyceraldehyde can be converted to Glyceraldehyde 3 phosphate by triose kinase

SLIDE 27

24
Q

How is galactose converted to galactose 1 phosphate?

What enzyme does this?

A

Slide 28

This reaction is catalyzed by the enzyme galactokinase

25
Q

A

Okay

26
Q

How is glucose 1-P converted to glucose 6-P (what enzyme)?

A

Phosphoglucomutase

It is converted to this because it can enter the glycolytic pathway

27
Q

What is galactosemia?

What is classical galactosemia?

A

Aldose reductase catalyze oxidation reduction reactions
Lactose is made of glucose and galactose and children rely on milk so this deficiency is common in children

Cataracts forms from accumulating galactose is converted to galactitol which causes water to diffuse into lens

CLASSICAL GALACTOSEMIA IS A DEFICIENCY OF TRANSFERASE
Non classical is enzymes other than transferase

28
Q

What is lactose intolerance?

A

Hypolactasia occurs from lack of enzyme to degrade lactose

29
Q

What are the two activators?

A

AMP activates phosphofructokinase 1

Fructose 2,6-biphosphate activates as well

30

What activates and inhibits Hexokinase, PFK 1, and pyr. Kinase?

A 
Hexokinase- inhibited by glucose 6-P
PFK-1- activates by AMP, F-2,6-P 
Inhibited by ATP, citrate
Pyr. Kinase- activates by F 1,6-P2
Inhibited by ATP, Acetyl-CoA, fatty acids
