Energy Part II Flashcards
1
Q
Exergonic Reactions
A
give off free energy
2
Q
Endergonic Reactions
A
require energy to be added
-this energy comes from high energy bonds
3
Q
Sources of energy
A
Macro Nutrients
- carbohydrates
- fats
- proteins
4
Q
Carbohydrates:
Monosaccharides
A
glucose
fructose
5
Q
Carbohydrates:
Disaccharides
A
sucrose (glucose + fructose)
maltose (glucose + glucose)
6
Q
Carbohydrates:
Polysaccharides
A
either plant or animal source
-glycogen is the most common (animal)
7
Q
Fats:
1 g = __kcal
____ in water
4 groups
A
one gram = 9.4 kcal insoluble in water 4 Groups: -fatty acids -triglycerides (3 fatty acids + glycerol) -phospholipids -steroids
8
Q
Proteins:
1 g = __kcal
composed of __ different amino acids and __ essential amino acids
A
one gram = 5.6 kcal
composed of 20 different amino acids
9 essential amino acids
9
Q
ATP:
____, ___, ____
may form ATP from __ or __
what yields energy?
A
- Adenosine, ribose and phosphates!
- may form ATP from ADP or AMP
- the breaking of the phosphate bonds by ATPase yields energy
- cell uses exergonic reactions to form ATP via endergonic reactions
- ATP is used again
10
Q
Glycolysis:
- Purpose
- Phases
A
- Production of ATP without oxygen
- enzymatically catalyzed coupled reactions - energy INVESTMENT (2 ATP!)
- energy GENERATED (4 ATP!)
