Q

how does positive S make rxn more favorable

A

Ie a positive ΔS tends to make ΔG more negative or exergonic. This is why an ice cube will melt spontaneously at room temperature (the water molecules are becoming more disordered or gaining entropy) even though ice melting is an endothermic reaction (absorbs heat energy).

A

5 mm

122
Q

is hexokinase or glucokinase usually used

A

hexokinase

123
Q

when is glucokinase used

A

when we eat and glucose is increased - affinity for substrate is low but once it gets going the velocity takes off

124
Q

glucokinae affinity for substrate

A

low

but has high capacity

125
Q

what is Km for glucokinase

A

high (low affinity)

126
Q

what is Vmax for glucokinase

A

high

127
Q

glucokinase is inhibited by

A

fructose 6-P

128
Q

hexokinase is inhibited by

A

G6p

129
Q

the liver only uses glucokinase when

A

glucose levels are high

130
Q

if glucose is interalized and processed to produce G6P and you accumulate F6P it does what

A

inhibits glucokinase - signals liver to stop glycolysis

131
Q

mutation of glucokinase leads to

A

MODY and gestational diabetes

132
Q

what is step two of glycolysis

A

G6P isomerised into fructose 6 P by PGI

133
Q

what is PGI stand for

A

phosphoglucose isomerase

134
Q

what is step 3 of glycolysis

A

F6P to Fructose 1,6-biphosphate by FPK-1

want it to have more energy

135
Q

Is ATP needed for step 3

A

yes

136
Q

what is the main regulatory point of glycolsysi

A

step 3

137
Q

is step 3 reversible

A

no it is irreverislbe, it is a rate limiting step

138
Q

ATP at low concentration in glycolysis (specifically step 3) is a

A

substrate

139
Q

ATP at high concentration in glycolysis (specifically step 3) is a

A

inhibitor

140
Q

why do cells use ATP as energy

A

in normal concentration it is 5 mm

it only has 10% change

141
Q

why is AMP used as sensor

A

when anything changes it changes by 600%, it is very sensitive

142
Q

PFK1 if mutations will have

A

rare form of glycogen storage disease: GSD-VII

143
Q

what will accumulate if there is mutation in PFK1

A

fructose 6 P
glucose 6 P
glycogen

144
Q

glucose 6 P is inhibitor of

A

glycogen

Q

1,3bisphosphoglycerate is precurser fo

A

2,3bisphosphoglycerate

171
Q

if there are high levels of 2,3bisphosphoglycerate what happens to delivery of oxygen

A

delivery of oxygen improves, so it is compensating. so the hemoglboin pt does have works better.

172
Q

if there is a problem with the enzymes leading to 1,3bisphoshpoglycerate what happens to delivery of oxygen

A

2,3bisphophoglycerate decreases so delivery of oxygen decreases. so if they also have pyruvate kianse defiicency they don’t have enough oxygen and they have anemia, and they also dont have compensatory mechanism

help

3.85

187
Q

lactic acid is completely

A

dissociated - physiological pH of 7.4

188
Q

in absense of mitochondria or O2 what happens to NADH

A

it is oxidized to NAD+ by reduction of pyruvate to lactate catalysed by lactate dehydrogenase (LDH)

189
Q

aerobic metbolism fast or slow?

A

slow

190
Q

anaerobic metabolism fast or slow?

A

fast

191
Q

bottom line: : if you have any problems with organelles that use O2 (mitochondria) you induce the formation

A

lactic acid

192
Q

what kind of glycolysis in tumor cells

A

anaerobic

193
Q

how does PET test work

A

basically light up the glucose in the body

pt ingests the modified glucose, tmor cells take a lot of it, and then can view in pet scan

194
Q

tryglycerol becomes

A

glycerol & palmitate

pg 16

195
Q

describe the glucoregulation process in α cells

A

increase in plasma glucose → cell generates ATP → ATP closes K+ channels → depolarization → Ca2+ and Na+ channels activated → blocks exocytosis (which would contain glucagon)
pg 27

196
Q

describe the glucoregulation process in ß cells

A

increase in plasma glucose → cell generates ATP → ATP closes K+ channels → depolarization → Ca2+ channels activated → release insulin via exocytosis

197
Q

starch is digested by

A

amylase

198
Q

when starch is digested what does it yield

A

oligosaccharides, maltose & isomaltose

199
Q

describe structure of amylose

A

linear glucose chains connected by α1→4 linkages*

200
Q

describe the structure of amylopectin

A

branched glucose chains. linear glucose chains connected by α1→4 linkages, branch points are α1→6 linkages*

201
Q

sucrose is mono or disaccharide

A

disaccharide*

202
Q

sucrose is made up of

A

fructose & glucose*

203
Q

what kind of bond connects fructose & glucose in sucrose

A

disaccharide*

204
Q

is sacrose a reducing sugar? why or why not?

A

no
Sucrose is non reducing sugar because the anomeric carbon from fructose and glucose are used to form a glycosidic bond
*

205
Q

is lactose a reducing sugar? why or why not?

A

yes
since only one anomeric carbon is used to form a glycosidic bond. The other anomeric carbon can open and close giving rise the reducing properties.*

206
Q

are mono or disaccharides taken up by cells

A

only mono*

207
Q

describe structure of maltose

A

Maltose – a glucose-glucose disaccharide connected by α1→4 linkages (ie. fragments of the linear chains of starch – either amylose or amylopectin)*

208
Q

describe structure of Isomaltose*

A

glucose-glucose disaccharide connected by α1→6 linkages (ie. fragments of starch from the branch points of amylopectin only)

209
Q

where is GLUT1 expressed

A

cell types with barrier functions

think BBB, and all the other barriers

210
Q

where is GLUT2 expressed

A

high-capacity, low-affinity transporter

think liver, pancreas, intestine

211
Q

what is the most important regulated step of glycolysis?

A

step 3, Fructose-6-phoshate to fructose 1,6-bisphosphate by FPK-1

212
Q

oxidation of lactate to pyruvate

220
Q

anaerobic glycolysis (like if O2 isn’t getting to tissues) produces

A

221
Q

under low oxygen conditions, describes what happens with HIF (esp. in regards to tumor)

A

if low oxygen, more HIF. HIF is TF.

increases production of glucose transporters.
