Exam review Flashcards
Describe the inputs and outputs of glycolysis during the energy investment phase
Inputs: 2 ATP used
Outputs: 2 ADP + 2 Phosphate
Describe the inputs and outputs of glycolysis during the energy payoff phase?
Inputs: 4 ADP +4 p Outputs to: 4 ATP
inputs: 2 NAD++4e-+4H+ outputs to 2 NADH +2 H+
The electrons from the electron transport chain come from either
NADH or FADH
____ had the lowest affinity for electrons, while ___ has the highest
NADH
O2
Where are phospholipids of the membrane made? How are they kept in place?(unit 7)
made at smooth ER
proteins come in vesicles and fuse with membrane
kept in place by weak hydrophobic interactions
Decreasing extracellular pH would have what effect on sucrose transport into the cell?
Sucrose movement into cell is depending on H+ ions moving down their concentration gradient
more H+ ions outside the cell? more sucrose transport in
decreasing extracelluar pH means MORE H+ ions outside the cell, so more sucrose would move in
If phosphate does not attach to the sodium potassium pump, what will happen?
the pump will not trigger and change shape, so the Na+ will not be released outside the cell and K+ in the ECM will not be able to bind to it
When acetyl CoA combines with oxaloacetate, the ___ group is lost and ___ is formed. This molecule then releases two carbons as ____ and produces ____
the CoA group is lost
six carbon citrate is formed
releases two carbons as CO2 and produces NADH each time
Due to its high H+ content, the intermembrane space has a ___pH
low
Under what cellular conditions is there a HIGH concentration of AMP?
when a cell is low on ATP, it will start squeezing more out of ADP molecules by converting them to ATP And AMP
high levels of AMP mean the cell is starved for energy
Which of the following statements about glycolysis is false?
A. Glycolysis may occur in the absence of sufficient oxygen for cellular
respiration to occur
B. Glycolysis will not occur in the absence of NAD+ regeneration
C. Several products of glycolysis can be synthesized in the absence of
glucose
D. ATP is the only regulator of glycolysis
E. None of the above
D. ATP is the only regulator of glycolysis
The pH level in the ______ is _____ than the pH levels in the ______.
A. Cytosol, lower, intermembrane space of the mitochondria
B. Intermembrane space of the mitochondria, lower, mitochondrial
matrix
C. Cytosol, higher, mitochondrial matrix
D. Intermembrane space of the mitochondria, higher, mitochondrial
matrix
E. The pH levels in the cytosol, mitochondrial matrix, and the
intermembrane space of the mitochondria are equal
B. Intermembrane space of the mitochondria, lower, mitochondrial
matrix
Which of the following is most likely to occur as a result of oxygen
deficiency?
A. NADH would be oxidized rapidly by the components of the electron
transport chain, resulting in the subsequent production of ATP
B. FADH2 would not be oxidized by the electron transport chain.
C. NADH would not be oxidized because the structural integrity of the inner
mitochondrial membrane would be compromised.
D. More than one of the above
E. None of the above
B. FADH2 would not be oxidized by the electron transport chain.
Both citrate and ATP can inhibit the enzyme PFK. Why is this useful?
PFK regulates glycoylsis through allosteric inhibition, creating ADP and fuctose 1,6 biphosphate
if there is low energy, there is a high concentration of AMP which will ind to PFK, increasing its affinity for the substrates
If there is high energy, ATP will bind to a different allosteric site and decrease PFKs affinity for the substrates
While CDK is regenerated throughout the cell cycle, ____ is degraded and reaches its threshold at the end of the G2 phase, resulting in the activation of mitotic CDK
cyclin
Cyclin and CDK make ____, which promotes mitosis through phosphorolation during _____
MPF
promotes phosphorolation during metaphase
Synthesis of cyclin begins in the late ___ phase and continues through the ___ phase.
S
G2
During anaphase, what happens to cyclin?
cyclin component of MPF is degraded and terminated the M phase, the cell enters G1
During G1, ___ continues to degrade and ____ component of MPF is recycled
cyclin degrades
CDK is recycled
during anaphase, nonkinetochore microtubules ___ while kinetochores ___
lengthen to elongate cell
shorten to separate daughter chromosomes
