Chapter 25 Flashcards
catabolism vs anabolism
exergonic, break down complex organic molecules into simpler ones, decomposition reactions vs endergonic, build bigger molecules from simpler ones, synthesis reactions
ATP consists of
adenine molecule, a ribose molecule, and three phosphate groups bonded to
one another
ATP in anabolism and catabolism
anabolism: transfer energy from
ATP to complex molecules
catabolism: transfer energy from
complex molecules to ATP
oxidation
removal of electrons=decrease in potential energy of atom/molecule
dehydrogenation reactions
common biological oxidation reaction where hydrogen is removed
reduction
addition of electrons=increase in potential energy of atom/molecule
Two coenzymes that are commonly used by animal cells to carry hydrogen atoms
nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide
(NAD): a derivative of the B vitamin niacin
flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD), a derivative of vitamin B2 (riboflavin).
phosphorylation
addition of phosphate group to a molecule
3 ways organism use phosphorylation to generate ATP
Substrate-level phosphorylation
Oxidative phosphorylation
Photophosphorylation
Substrate-level phosphorylation
transferring high energy phosphate group from substrate directly to ADP
occurs in cytosol
(ADP/GDP phosphorylated to produce ATP/GTP)
Oxidative phosphorylation
removes electrons from organic compounds and passes them through the electron transport chain, to O2
occurs in inner mitochondrial membrane
(ADP to ATP using free energy produce from reactions of ETC)
Photophosphorylation
occurs only in chlorophyll-containing
plant cells or in certain bacteria containing light absorbing pigments
glucose use in the body (4)
ATP production
AA Synthesis
Glycogen synthesis
Triglyceride synthesis
glycogenesis vs lipogenesis
glucose monomers are combined
to form the polysaccharide glycogen by hepatocytes and muscle fibers
vs
synthesis of triglycerides
high level of insulin increases ___ ________ __ _____ into the plasma membranes of most body cells, thereby increasing ___ ____ __ ___________ _________ of _______ into cells.
the insertion of GluT4 (glucose transporter)
the rate of facilitated diffusion
glucose
In neurons and hepatocytes, another type of GluT is always present in the ______ ________ , so glucose entry is always “______ __ .” On entering a cell,
glucose becomes _____________. Because GluT cannot transport
_____________ _______, this reaction traps glucose within the cell.
plasma membrane
turned on
phosphorylated
phosphorylated glucose
cellular respiration (what/set of reactions)
oxidation of glucose to produce ATP
four sets of reactions: glycolysis, the
formation of acetyl coenzyme A, the Krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain
glycolisis (step of cellular respiration/what/produce)
1
A set of reactions in which one 6-carbon molecule of glucose is oxidized and split into two 3-carbon molecules of pyruvic acid is produced. The reactions also produce 4 molecules of ATP and uses 2 = two total, and two energy-containing NADH plus H+
Formation of acetyl coenzyme A (step of cellular respiration/what/produce)
2
A transition step that prepares
pyruvic acid for entrance into the Krebs cycle. This step also produces energy-containing NADH + H+ plus carbon dioxide
(CO2)
Krebs cycle reactions (step of cellular respiration/what/produce)
3
These reactions oxidize acetyl coenzyme A and produce CO2, ATP, NADH + H+, and FADH2.
Electron transport chain reactions (step of cellular respiration/what/produce)
4
These reactions oxidize NADH plus H+ and FADH2 and transfer their electrons through a series of electron carriers
aerobic respiration vs anaerobic glycolysis
Krebs cycle and electron transport chain require oxygen and are collectively known as aerobic respiration
vs
glycolysis occurs by itself under anaerobic conditions, it is referred to as anaerobic glycolysis
which step of cellular respiration can occur under anaerobic conditions
glycolysis
Fate of Pyruvic acid (2 ways)
Anaerobic: plus 2 hydrogen ions= lactic acid -> hepatocytes convert back to P acid
Aerobic: convert to acetylene coenzyme A -> links glycolysis (in cytosol) and KREBs (in mitochondria)
