Exam 1 Ch 15 Flashcards
What is fermentation
anaerobic
breakdown of glucose EtOH & CO 2
How many enzymatic reations in glucose metabolism
10
What does glucose metabolism yield
Yields 2 moles ATP & 2 moles pyruvate
In glucose metabolism, where is pyruvate reduced to lactate?
Anaerobic.
Aerobic: pyruvate is further oxidized
Anaerobic: pyruvate is reduced to lactate
In the haworth projection of glucose, when the OH group is up, is it beta or alpha?
Beta
What are anomers
- Stereoisomers of carbohydrates
- Specific type of epimer
Where is the anomeric carbon in glucose
C1. (the carbon that forms an aldehyde or ketone in the linear form)
What’s an alcohol
R-OH
What’s an aldehyde
R-CH=O
What’s a ketone
R-CR=O
Group-transfer reactions
o e.g. kinase
Transferases
Hydrolysis reactions
o e.g. phosphatase
Hydrolases
Addition & elimination reactions break bonds
o e.g. aldolase, enolase
Lyases
isomerization reactions
o e.g. mutase
Isomerases (EC 5)
Ligation reactions form bonds
o e.g. synthetase, carboxylase
Ligases
Reduction-Oxidation (redox) reactions
o e.g. reductase, oxidase, dehydrogenase
Oxidoreducatses
What is the first stage of glycolysis called
Preparatory Phase
What do you put into the preparatory phase of glycolysis
1 molecule of GLO and 2 molecules of ATP
What do you get out of the preparatory phase of glycolysis
2 molecules of GAP (glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate)
What is the second stage of glyclysis called
Payoff PHase
What do you put into the payoff phase of glycolysis?
2 molecules of GAP
what do you get out of the payoff phase
2 molecules of PYR (main thing. the ATP and NADH are kinda side quests)
4 molecules of ATP
2 molecules of NADH
what reactions are in the preparatorty phase of glycolysis
1 to 5
How many irreversible reations are in the preparatory phase of glycolysis
