Exam 1 Flashcards
Sum of all chemical and physical changes that occur in living organisms that allow for growth and survival of the organism
Metabolism
Metabolism is the balance of what two processes
Catabolic: breakdown, exothermic
Anabolic: buildup, endothermic, need energy
What are these 4 processes used for: electrostatic repulsion, resonance stabilization, ionization, hydration

ATP is thermodynamically __________ but kinetically _______
unstable
stable
What are phosphoenol pyruvate, 1,3 BPG, and Phosphocreatine used for
to make ATP
What are the two major routes of ATP production
Substrate level phosphorylation (glycolysis)
Oxidative phosphorylation (ETC)
What is niacin’s cofactor
NAD+ or NADP+
What is riboflavin’s cofactor
FAD, FMN
What vitamin is derived from pyridine nucleotides
Niacin, Vit B3
What vitamin is derived from flavin nucleotides
Riboflavin, Vit B2
What is pantothenic acid’s cofactor
Acetyl CoA
What vitamin is derived from acetyl coA
pantothenic acid, Vit B5
The major pathways of carbohydrate metabolism and end with ________
glucose
The breakdown of glycogen into glucose is called what
glycogenolysis
The breakdown of glucose into pyruvate is called
glycolysis
The breakdown of pyruvate into lactate is called
anaerobic conditions
The buildup of lactate into pyruvate is called
lactic acid cycle (Cori Cycle)
The buildup of pyruvate into glucose is called
gluconeogenesis
The buildup of glucose into glycogen is called
glycogenesis
Glycolysis can occur in the presence or absence of _______
oxygen
What is the net result of ATP from glycolyis
2 ATP
Electrons are transferred from substrate to NAD+ in the form of a _________ _______ to form NADH
hydride ion (H:-)
In order for glycolysis to continue, NADH must be converted back into ______
NAD+
Where does glycolysis occur
cytosol
Where does pyruvate dehydrogenase, tricarboxylic acid, and ETC occur
mitochondria
In absence of O2 the 2NADH made during glycolysis are used by lactate dehydrogenase to convert pyruvate into ______
lactate (lactic acid)
What organ deals with lactate produced in the muscles during anaerobic conditions
liver
The liver converts lactate back into ______ and then converts the ______ back into glucose called gluconeogenesis
pyruvate
pyruvate
(cori cycle)
In prokaryotes the 2NADH made during glycolysis are used by alcohol dehydrogenase to convert acetaldehyde into what
ethanol
Yeast has a pyruvate decarboxylase enzyme to convert pyruvate into ethanol do humans have the same enzyme
no, humans can not convert pyruvate into ethanol instead we have alcohol dehydrogenase for ethanol metabolism
The first 5 steps in glycolysis consumes how many ATP
2
What are the three steps in glycolysis that are regulated
Hexokinase (1st step)
Phosphofructokinase (PFK; committed step, 3)
Pyruvate Kinase (PK; Exit Step, 10)
How is the first step of glycolysis (hexokinase) regulated
Glucose -> G6P
if there is a lot of G6P then it will be slower to phosphorylate more glucose to make more G6P

enzyme: aldolase
What is the fifth step of glycolysis

enzyme: triose phosphate isomerase
What is the sixth step of glycolysis
glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate to 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate
enzyme: glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase
What is the seventh step of glycolysis
1,3-bisphosphoglycerate to 3-phosphoglycerate
enzyme: phosphoglycerate kinase
