Chapter 7 Flashcards
Energy Metabolism
How body obtains & uses energy
from food
Liver cells
most versatile & metabolically active(a lot of reactions and gluconeogenesis
Anabolism (and requires what)
- building up of body compounds
- Requires energy (building reaction)
Catabolism(releases what)
breaking down of body compounds
-Releases -energy (breakdown reaction
Coupled Reactions
– Hydrolysis (breakdown) of ATP occurs at same time as reactions that will USE energy to build compounds
What is ATP used for?
Body uses ATP to transfer the energy released during CATABOLIC reaction to power its anabolic reaction
“Energy” to ATP
50%
Coenzymes
- Organic – but not PROTEINS
- B vitamins can act as coenzymes
Whats derived from CHo
glucose
Whats derived from PRO
amino acids
Whats derived from TG
glycerol and fatty acids
Discuss pyruvate in general
- 3-carbon structure
- can be used to make glucose
Discuss Acetyl CoA
- 2 carbon structure
- cannot be used to make glucose
Where are the hydrogen atoms carried?
to the electron transport chain
What is glucose splitting
glycolysis
