Phosphagen System, Phosphocreatine (PCr) System, and Creatine Phosphate System are typically known as what pathway?
ATP-PC system
What is the cellular location of the ATP-PC pathway?
Mitochondria and cytosol
What is the key enzyme of the ATP-PC pathway?
Creatine kinase
What is the co-factor of the ATP-PC pathway?
Mg
What are the reactants/stimulators of the ATP-PC pathway? (2)
ADP (low energy) and PCr
What are the products/inhibitors of the ATP-PC pathway? (2)
ATP (high energy) and Cr
What pathway/system produces ATP the fastest?
ATP-PC system
Excess reactants have what affect a pathway/enzyme?
stimulates
Scarce reactants have what affect on a pathway/enzyme?
inhibits
Excess products have what affect on a pathway/enzyme?
inhibits
Scarce products have what affect on a pathway/enzyme?
stimulates
What is secreted in response to high blood glucose?
- Lowers blood glucose to baseline values
- Increases glucose in fat and muscle cells
(Ex: Fat synthesis, glycogen synthesis, glycolysis)
insulin
What is secreted in response to low blood glucose?
- Increases blood glucose levels
- Causes the LIVER to release glucose from storage (glycogen)
- Causes the LIVER to make glucose (gluconeogenesis)
glucagon
What pathway breaks down carbohydrates anaerobically?
Glycolysis
Glycolysis is a precursor to what two pathways?
Krebs Cycle and ETS (electron transport system)
Where in the cell does glycolysis occur?
Cytosol
What are the key enzymes in glycolysis? (4)
- Hexokinase/Glucokinase
- Phosphofructokinase (PFK)
- Pyruvate kinase
- Lactate dehydrogenase
What is the rate limiting step in glycolysis?
PFK
What enzyme in glycolysis is stimulated by insulin and fructose, but inhibited by glucose-6-phosphate?
glucokinase
What are the reactants/stimulators of glycolysis? (6)
- Glucose
- ADP
- AMP
- NAD+
- Pi
- Insulin secretion
What are the products/inhibitors of glycolysis? (5)
-ATP
-NADH
-Pyruvate
o Fast – pyruvate to lactic acid and alanine
o Slow – pyruvate to mitochondria to aerobic metabolism
-Lactic acid
-Alanine
Citric acid cycle and Tricarboxylic acid cycle are synonymous name for which pathway?
