Exam 4 Flashcards
photoautotrophs
use co2 and light
photoheterotrophs
use organics and light
chemoautotrophs
use co2 and redox
chemoheterotrophs
use organics and redox
catabolism
degradative pathways, energy yielding
anabolism
biosynthetic, energy requiring
amphibolic
pathways with catabolism and anabolism
common energetic product of protein, polysaccharide, and lipid breakdown
acetyl groups of acetyl coa
common end products of protein, polysaccharide, and lipid breakdown
water, co2, ammonia
collects electrons as hydride ions released during catabolism
NAD+ and turns into NADH
provides reducing power for anabolic processes
NADPH
fractionation of a cell extract
low speed, nuclei and unbroken cells. medium speed, mito, lysosomes. high speed, ribosomes.
metabolome
set of low-molecular weight molecules present in an organism and excreted under a set of circumstances
metabolomics
systematic identification of all these metabolites
fluxomics
quantitative study of metabolite flow
commits glucose to metabolism within cell
phosphorylation to G6P. cannot be transferred across plasma membrane
function of adipose tissue and liver in glycolysis
source of glycerol 3 phosphate for TG synthesis. provides acetyl coa for FA synth
where does glycolysis occur
all cell types in cytoplasm
first committed step in glycolysis
2nd phosphorylation by PfK1
insulin and glucagon mediated by this enzyme
PFK-1
generates 1st mol of ATP in glycolysis. substrate level phosphorylation!
phosphoglycerate kinase
glycolytic bypass used by RBCs
formation of 2,3 BPG from 1,3 BPG. lowers affinity of hemoglobin for o2
forms 2nd mol of ATP in glycolysis
pyruvate kinase
under aerobic conditions, NAD+ for glycolysis in regenerated from ?
ETC
