Q

ATP is formed in glycolysis by..

A

substrate-level phosphorylation

17
Q

Intermediates

A

Compounds that for between initial reactant glucose and final product pyruvate

18
Q

2 main phases of glycolysis

A
  • steps 1-4: NRG investment

- steps 5-9 NRG pay off

19
Q

In NRG investment phase..

A

NRG is consumed as 2 ATP molecules are used to energize glucose molecules

20
Q

NADH

A

high NRG electrons, lower affinity

21
Q

NADH and FADH2 are..

A

co enzymes, carry electrons, they are mobile and remove hydrogen

22
Q

In citric acid cycle, 2 molecules of ____ for each initial ____

A

acetyl CoA; glucose

23
Q

After 2 turns of the citric acid cycle the overall yield per glucose molecule is..

A
  • 2 ATP
  • 6 NADH
  • 2 FADH2
24
Q

ATP synthase

A

control movement of electrons back down the matrix slowly

25
3 categories of cellular poisons
- block ETC (cynanide) - inhibit ATP synthesis (oligomycin) - uncouplers (make membrane leaky to H, dinitrophenol)
26
Brown fat
SPeical type of tissue associated w/ the generation of heat and more abundant hibernating mammal and newborn infant
27
Fermentation
way of harvesting chemical NRG that does not require oxygen. takes advantage of glycolysis
28
Lactic acid fermentation
muscle cells and certain bacteria can oxidize NADH
29
Alchohol fermentation
yeast oxidizes NADH back to NAD+ and convert pyruvate to CO2 and ethanol
30
Obligate anaerobes
poisoned by oxygen
31
Facultative anaerobes..
make ATP by fermentation or oxidative phosphorylation depending on availability of O2
32
ATP is generated using..
fat, proteins, and carbohydrates
33
Fats have..
many NRG rich H in hydrocarbon tail
34
Fat is converted into a ______ in glycolysis and acetyl CoA
intermediate
35
Fat yields..
more than twice as much ATP per gram than carbohydrate or proteins
36
Proteins burned for fuel..
last
37
Amino acids converted into intermediates in ________ or ________
glycolysis; citric acid cycle
