Final Review Flashcards
What are some other roles of ATP in the cell beyond anabolism?
- Synthesis of cellular molecules
- Providing molecules with negative charges
- Active transport across membranes
- Chromosome separation during mitosis/meiosis
- Inhibition or activation of proteins
- Muscle activity
Define a high energy intermediate using thermodynamic language
It is a chemical species in a reaction pathway that has a limited chemical lifetime because the products of its hydrolysis are much more stable that it is, so it has a large negative gibbs free energy, which can be used to drive other non spontaneous reactions.

When you add an inhibitor to the ETC, upstream of the inhibitor ______ and downstream of the inhibitor________
Components are reduced upstream and oxidized downstream
Example of decoupler
DNP
Example of ATPase blocker

Non competitive inhibitors change what
same Km different vmax
Competitive inhibitors change what
same vmax different Km
Lower Km is ______ affinity
higher substrate
Catalytic efficiency
kcat/Km
reduction is an increase in number of
C-H and C-C bonds
What is the end product of glycolysis and what does it feed into
pyruvate, citric acid cycle and then ETC
3 stages of glycolysis
Energy investment, glucose split, energy released
Step one glycolysis enzyme and function
Hexokinase, uses ATP to phosphorylate glucose (primes glucose to release energy later), produces glucose 6 phosphate
Step two glycolysis enzyme and function
Phosphohexose isomerase catalyses opening of ring of glucose six phosphate, then does rearrangement turning it from an aldehyde to a ketone using water
Makes fructose six phosphate, then makes it into a fructose ring
Step three glycolysis enzyme and function
Phospho-fructokinase-1, makes fructose 1-6 bisphosphate
ring has now been phosphoralated twice
Step four glycolysis enzyme and function
Opens up ring of fructose 1-6 bisphosphate, and aldolase cleaves it into two molecules
Makes glyceraldehyde 3 phosphate and dihydroxyacetone phosphate
Step five glycolysis enzyme and function
Triose phosphate isomerase turns dihydroxyacetone phosphate into glyceraldehyde 3 phosphate
All steps after step 5 of glycolysis
Occur twice because step five generates two glyceraldhyde 3 phosphates
Step six glycolysis enzyme and function
glyceraldhyde 3 phosphate dehydrogenase uses NAD to oxidize glyceraldehyde 3 phosphate, which connects it to the enzyme by a high energy thioester bond which gets replaced with a bond to an inorganic phosphate
Makes 1-3 bisphosphoglycerate
Step seven glycolysis enzyme and function
Phosphate on 1-3 bisphosphglycerate gets transferred to ADP to make ATP and 3 phosphoglycerate, enzyme is phosphoglycerate kinase
What step of glycolysis pays back the energy investment of the first three steps
The seventh step, when 2 ATP are generated (2 molecules of 1-4 bisphosphoglycerate transfer their phosphates to ADP)
