Exam 2: Chapter 9, Energy Metabolism Flashcards
Pathways that build compounds
anabolic
pathways that break down compounds
catabolic
What is the difference between metabolism, catabolism, and anabolism?
Metabolism can be described as a summation of both anabolism and catabolism.
- Metabolic Pathway
- A group of biochemical reactions that occur in progression from beginning to end
- Adenosine triphosphate (ATP): Body’s source of…
- Adenosine diphosphate (ADP): What results from…
- Adenosine monophosphate (AMP): Results from hydrolysis…
- Body’s source of energy derived from catabolic reactions of macronutrients
- What results from cells’ breakdown of a high phosphate bond in ATP
- Results from hydrolysis of ADP when ATP levels in cell are low
Stages of Catabolism
Structure of ATP
ATP synthesis depends on transfer of electrons in a series of reactions from energy-yielding compounds to oxygen
- Oxidation-reduction reactions occur together
- Oxidized substance:
- Reduced substance:
- Role of coenzymes NAD+ and FAD+
Oxidized substance: Loses electron(s); gains oxygen/loses hydrogen
Reduced substance: Gains electron(s); loses oxygen/gains hydrogen
Oxidizes food molecules to obtain energy
Cellular respiration
Net gain 30-32 ATP
Aerobic respiration of one glucose molecule
Net gain 2 ATP
Anaerobic respiration of one glucose molecule
Steps of Aerobic cellular respiration of glucose:
1.Glycolysis: Glucose is…
2.Transition reaction: Pyruvate is…
3.Citric Acid Cycle (CAC): Acetyl-CoA enters…
4.Electron Transport Chain: NADH+, H+, FADH2 are…
- Glycolysis: Glucose is oxidized to pyruvate, producing NADH +H+
- Transition Reaction: Pyruvate is oxidized and joined with CoA, producing acetyl-CoA and NADH +H+
- Citric Acid Cycle (CAC): Acetyl-CoA enters cycle producing NADH +H+, FADH2 and ATP; CO2 also produced
- Electron Transport Chain: NADH + H+, FADH2 are oxidized to NAD+ and FAD
Electron Transport Chain:
- Passage of electrons along a series of electron carriers
- Process called ; how energy is derived from NADH + H+ and FADH2
- Minerals involved:
- oxidative phosphorylation
- Copper: component of an enzyme
- Iron: component of cytochromes
Anaerobic Metabolism:
- Occurs in cells with no mitochondria or in all cells when there is no oxygen
- *
- Pyruvate is converted to lactate
- Lactate is picked up by the liver
- Liver synthesizes compounds used in aerobic metabolism from lactate
ATP production from fats:
Lipolysis
- Tryglycerides broken down into
Triglycerides broken down into fatty acids and glycerol
ATP production from fats:
Fatty Acid Oxidation (beta-oxidation):
- takes place in the
- shuttles fatty acids from cytosol into mitochondria
- Promoted by , , and
- Yields , and , resulting in about ATP
- Takes place in mitochondria
- Carnitine shuttles fatty acids from cytosol into mitochondria
- Promoted by glucagon, growth hormone, epinephrine
- Yields acetyl-CoA and NADH + H+ resulting in about 106 ATP
