FINAL TERM- PPT- MITO & MUTA Flashcards
It means “sugar splitting,” which
is exactly what occurs during this pathway. The
six-carbon sugar glucose is broken down into
two three-carbon sugars called pyruvate (an
ionized form of pyruvic acid).
Occurs in the cytosol
Glycolysis
are the organelles that convert energy to forms that cells can use for work.
Mitochondria and Chloroplasts
Catabolic pathway
⊡ End product - _____
⊡ By-product - _____
and _____
ATP
CO2 and H2O
⊡ most efficient catabolic pathway
⊡ Foods/fuel - carbohydrates, fats, and protein
⊡ spontaneous
Aerobic respiration
Greek - aer, air, and bios
life
Two phases of glycolysis
Energy investment and energy payoff phase
The cell actually consumes ATP during the
energy investment phase.
Energy investment
NAD+ is reduced to NADH by electrons released from glucose oxidation. The net energy production from glycolysis is 2 ATP + 2 NADH, and 2 pyruvate per glucose molecule.
Energy payoff phase
Products of Glycolysis
⊡ 2 Pyruvates
⊡ 2 ATP
⊡ 2 NADH
is the end-product of glycolysis, is derived from
additional sources in the cellular cytoplasm, and is ultimately destined for transport into mitochondria as a master fuel input
undergirding citric acid cycle carbon flux
Pyruvate
The enzyme responsible for the
catalyzation of the three steps is
pyruvate oxidation is ____________
Pyruvate dehydrogenase complex
Pyruvate is a charged molecule, so in
eukaryotic cells, it must enter the
mitochondrion via ___________, with the
help of a ________________.
active transport, transport protein
It is an important cell’s metabolic hub. It
is composed of eight enzymes, all of which are within the mitochondrial matrix except the outlier succinate dehydrogenase, which is related to the respiratory chain on the
inner mitochondrial membrane
Tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, also known as the Krebs cycle or citric acid cycle
He was able to present a complete picture of an important part of metabolism—the citric acid cycle
Hans Kreb
The citric acid cycle produces _______, ________, ________, ________
Carbon, NADH, FADH2, ATP or GTP
It powers ATP synthase to
ADP + Pi →ATP as H+ diffuse back into
matrix
⊡ 1 glucose yields 26-28 net ATP
(depending on which e- carriers used)
Proton gradient
most energy flows in this sequence: glucose-NADH-electron transport chain-proton-
motive force- ATP
