E1 Krebs Cycle Flashcards
What type of respiration will have the greatest production of ATP?
Aerobic
Define oxidative phosphorylation.
Production of ATP using energy created by electron flow down the electron transport system to the final electron acceptor
What is the final electron acceptor?
Oxygen
Consume macronutrients –> ___________ –> produce _________ –> oxygen _______ the electrons –> use energy created by flow of electrons to male ATP
Oxidize macronutrients; reduced compounds, accepts
Where does Kreb’s Cycle occur? Electron Transport System?
Mitochondrial Matrix: Inner Membrane
What are the three names for the cycle that produces citric acid?
Krebs cycle, Citric acid cycle, Tricarboxylic acid cycle
True or False- Krebs is the first step in oxidation of macronutrients.
False- final step
What are the overall products of Krebs?
CO2, GTP, NADH, FADH2
Where do the reduced compounds (NADH, FADH2) take their electrons to make ATP?
ETS
List in order the main reactants of Krebs.
Acetyl CoA, citrate, isocitrate, alpha ketoglutarate, succinyl CoA, succinate, fumarate, malate, oxaloacetate
Coenzyme A consists of what two things?
Pantothenic Acid (VB5) and a terminal thiol group (thioester bond)
What is the conversion process of glucose to pyruvate called? Where does it occur?
Glycolysis; Cytosol
Pyruvate is produced in the Cytosol via glycolysis. Where does pyruvate become acetyl CoA? What is this step called?
Mitochondrial Matrix; Prep Step
What are the reactants of pyruvate dehydrogenase complex?
Pyruvate, NAD+, CoA
What are the products of pyruvate dehydrogenase complex?
Acetyl CoA, NADH, CO2,
The conversion of pyruvate to acetyl CoA will use what enzyme? What type of reaction? Reversible?
Pyruvate dehydrogenase complex, decarboxylation, irreversible
How many carbons does pyruvate have?
3
How many carbons does acetyl CoA have?
2
How many enzymes and coenzymes does pyruvate dehydrogenase complex have?
3 enzymes, 5 coenzymes
In the reaction of pyruvate to acetylene CoA, is pyruvate oxidized to reduced?
Oxidized
List the 5 coenzymes of pyruvate dehydrogenase complex.
Thiamine Phosphate (TPP)- thiamine FAD- riboflavin Lipoate- lipoid acid NAD- niacin (R) Coenzyme A- pantothenic acid (R)
Since the prep step is irreversible, what can the acetyl CoA do?
Enter Krebs or lipid synthesis
What will inhibit PDH?
Increased products- acetyl CoA, NADH, high energy levels
Will phosphorylation of PDH by PDH kinase inhibit or stimulate PDH?
Inhibit
True or False- PDH phosphatase will stimulate PDH
True
What will stimulate PDH?
Low energy, low acetyl CoA, calcium, epinephrine, insulin
What will happen if you are deficient in PDH?
Cannot produce acetyl CoA
Increase lactic acid
Ketogenic diet
Increased PDH kinase activity will increase ___________.
Cancer risk
What disease will occur if you are Thiamine deficient?
BeriBeri (dietary) (high pyruvate levels in blood)
Where does beta oxidation occur?
Matrix
Beta oxidation allows for the entry of what?
Fatty acid
An 18C long chain FA will produce how many acetyl CoA to enter Krebs?
9
Is beta oxidation an energy producing pathway?
Yes
List the amino acid entry intermediates.
Pyruate, Acetyl CoA, alpha ketoglutarate, succinyl CoA, fumarate, oxaloacetate
