Chem- Biochemical Energetics Flashcards
What enzyme converts pyruvate to Acetyl CoA
Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Complex
PDH complex requires what 5 coenzymes?
Hint: These Five Coenzymes Love Nutrition
Thiamine pyrophosphate (B1)
FAD (from B2)
CoA (From B5)
Lipoic Acid
NAD (B3)
The pre-krebs cycle step converting Pyruvate produces what?
Acetyl-CoA
NADH
CO2
What are the products for ONE turn of the Krebs cycle?
Hint: 12;31
1 ATP/GTP
2 CO2
3 NADH
1 FADH2
Kreb’s cycle occurs in the?
Mitochondira
Krebs cycle needs to occur in/requires?
Aerobic conditioons
What forms GTP (–>ATP)?
Succinyl CoA synthetase (Succinyl CoA–> Succinate)
Succinate dehydrogenase requires ?
FAD (Succinate –> Fumarate)
Succinate thiokinase role is?
Produciton of ATP in Kreb’s cycle
Where does the ETC occur?
Inner fold of inner mitochondrial membrane
What is the electron acceptor in the ETC?
Oxygen, which forms water
What are the energy releases in the ETC?
Hydrogen ions from NADH & FADHs passing cytochromes to one another
ETC is said to be “coupled” with what other reaction?
Oxidative phosphorylation
Oxidation of each molecule during oxidative phosphorylation results in what per molecule of NADH & FADH2?
NADH= 3 ATP
FADH2= 2 ATP
The krebs cycle produces how many ATP total?
30 ATP
The Glycerol-3-phosphate shunt makes how many ATP?
4 ATP
Glycolysis makes how many ATP?
2 ATP
How many total ATP can be produce in one full cycle of our bioenergetics systems?
36 ATP per complete cycle.
(pick 38 if 36 not there)
What interferes with the ETC by binding to iron?
Cyanide and Carbon Monoxide
What do antioxidants do?
decrease free radicals, therefore, decrease cancer cell production
Name the 7 common antioxidants
Hint: LLACESZ
Lutein
Lycopene
Vitamin A
Vitamin C
Vitamin E
Selenium
Zink & Chromium
Phosphorylation is Glucose +ATP → ????? + ????
glucose-6-phosphate +ADP
Phosphorylation costs?
1 ATP
What enzyme does Phosphorylation need?
Glucokinase (liver)
Hexokinase (all other)
