Citric Acid Components Flashcards
How does the citric acid cycle generate energy?
Oxidation of Acetyl CoA
How much energy is yielded from Glycolysis?
2 ATP
2 NADH
How many H+ ions are released with each glucose molecule?
20 tied to NADH); 4 during glycolysis, 4 during Pyruvate oxidation; 16 during citric acid cycle
What is the only part of glucose metabolism that uses atmospheric oxygen?
Electron Transport Chain
Does the glycolysis stage require oxygen?
does NOT require oxygen, albeit inefficient and low yield of energy)
Pre Kreb Cycle: What does glucose (6 carbon molecule) generate? How many carbons are present in the compound?
Two Pyruvate (3C compound)
Pre Kreb Cycle: What process converts glucose to pyruvate?
Glycolysis
What is pyruvate oxidized into? How many Carbons are present?
Acetyl CoA (2C compound)
What is generated from the oxidation of Pyruvate to Acetyl CoA (2)?
This reaction generates a molecule of CO2 and Molecule of NADH
What does Acetyl CoA form with to continue the citric acid cycle? How many carbon compounds?
Oxaloacetate (4C compound)
What does Acetyl CoA and Oxaloacetate form? How many carbons?
CITRATE (6C compound)
What enzyme catalyzes the reaction of Acetyl CoA and Oxaloacetate?
Citrate synthase
What is citrate isomerized to form?
Isocitrate
What enzyme catalyzes the reaction of citrate and Isocitrate?
Aconitase
What is isocitrate oxidized to form? How many carbon?
Alpha-ketoglutarate (5 C molecule)
What is generated from the OXIDATION of isocitrate to alpha-ketoglutarate (2)?
NADH (converted from NAD) and CO2
