Q

once entered the cell, what occurs to allow for glucose to remain inside the cell to undergo glycolysis? how does this help keep it in the cell?

A

phosphorylation occurs
phosphate functional group is polar which keeps glucose from being able to cross the nonpolar inter-cell membrane space

Q

how is it that more ATP is produced than consumed in glycolysis

Q

why is pyruvate the end stage of glycolysis? why can’t more ATP be created?

Q

why is it that gluconeogenesis cannot be done completely in revese? what is the workaround?

A

the net delta G is overall endergonic if done in complete reverse, and this is unfavorable.
2 processes of exergonic are needed in order to perform the reaction (Co2 and ATP as reactants)

    found when blood glucose is high
86

A

75 grams of protein per day

91
Q

when glycogen supply is depleted, what does the rest of the body use to get its energy supply replenished?
what is wrong with this process?
what is the workaround?

A

beta oxidation begins to convert lipids into acetyl-CoA to be used in citric acid cycle to then make ATP

citric acid cycle cannot keep up with the demands of being the only one to make ATP

ketogenesis is the work around

92
Q

what are the reactants and products of ketogenesis?

A

reactants: 2 acetyl-CoA
product: ketone bodies such as 3-Hydroxybutyrate, acetoacetate, and acetone

93
Q

how much ATP does ketogenesis make compared to citric acid cycle?

A

keto: 1.25 ATP per acetyl-CoA
TCA: 10 ATP per acetyl-CoA

94
Q

would ketogenesis be considered energy-effecient?

A

no, it is very inefficient; it’s used as a last ditch effort to provide ATP when the body believes it is starving

95
Q

how many kcal in 1 gram of protein?
how many kcal in 1 gram of fat?

A

protein: 4 kcal
fat: 9 kcal

96
Q

how many kcals does ketogenesis make?

A

uses 25 g of protein = 25 x 4 = 100 kcal
uses 180 g of fat = 180 x 9 = 1620 kcal

97
Q

what is the purpose of the keto diet?

A

restrict carbohydrate consumption to make your body believe it is starving for carbs so that it switches to burning fat as its main energy source

98
Q

what is diabetes mellitus?

A

chronic condition due to either insufficient insulin or failure of insulin to promote glucose uptake in cells

99
Q

what is type 1 diabetes?

A

autoimmune disease - attacks pancreatic cells. fewer pancreatic cells cause there to be less insulin production
this causes glucose to build up in the blood

100
Q

what is type II diabetes?

A

there is plenty of insulin, but the cells receptors for insulin become tolerant of insulin, so insulin cannot perform its job correctly and cell does not uptake glucose

101
Q

what two conditions cause citric acid cycle to become overwhelmed? what is a likely outcome of this?

A

starvation & diabetes
ketogenesis

102
Q

one of the ketone bodies has a ketone functional group, but the other two do not. what functional group do they have?

A

carboxylic acids

103
Q

what is ketoacidosis?

A

lowered blood pH due to accumulation of the ketone bodies (spec. the carboxylic acids)

104
Q

who is most likely to be affected by ketoacidosis?

A

prolonged keto dieters
diabetics
starving people

105
Q

glutamine is formed from what amino acid?

A

glutamate

106
Q

asparagine is formed from what amino acid?

A
