Glycolysis Flashcards
powerhouse of cell?
mitochondrial matrix –> where aerobic metabolism occurs
if you havent had breakfast, what do you use as energy source?
fatty acids (fat)
two dehydrogenating reagents
NAD/FAD
fatty acids undergo
beta oxidation (consisting of dehydrogenation rxns)
long fatty acid chain in oxidation..
go through cycle over and overuntil used up –> creates a pool of acetyl coa for tca cycle
c from acetyl coa in tca become….and c from oxaloacetate in tca become….
acetyl coa –> new oxaloacetate
oxaloacetate –> co2
oxygen comes from
water
in etc oxygen becomes
water
why cant nadh and oxygen react directly in etc ?
because of the activation energy barrier….there is no enzyme to allow direct e transfer
how do protons in etc get across lipid bilayer?
ATP synthase allows protons to move down their gradient –> as they travel down, conformational changes of the synthase resynthesizes ATP (this is ox. phosphorylation)
overall glycolytic path
d-glucose –> 10 steps catalyzed by 10 enzymes –> 2 pyruvate
anaerobic fate of pyruvate?
lactic acid
glycolysis is a net ____ rxn that takes place through ____ rxns
oxidation; dehydrogenation
rbc atp production?
rbc dont have mitochondria so glucose is converted to lactate –> atp from glycolysis is the only source of atp for those cells
glucose storage polymer
glycogen
fastest source of G6P when you need energy quick
atp yield from complete combustion of one glucose
30-32 atp
steady state ATP/ADP+AMP ratio
maintained far from equilibrium –> very exergonic!
ATP is way higher
equilibrium = death
what happens when ATP/Adp ratio hits equilibrium?
common cause of cell death is oxygen deprivation –>atp system goes to equilibrium –> cell cant maintain itself -> death cascade due to drop in atp
aerobic vs anaerobic glycolysis
a= glucose +2NAD,2ADP,2Pi–> 2 pyruvate + 2nadh,2atp
an=glucose+2adp,2pi –> 2 lactate +2atp
lactic acidosis
too much acid
blood pH goes down - disrupts homeostasis
acidosis in bad circulation vs anemia
bad cir =atp drops, cells use both a and an respiration to restore atp levels –> lactate
anemia= not enough rbc, tissues arent getting enough oxygen to run oxidative phosphorylation so lots of lactate
glucose vs fructose vs pyruvate structure
glucose is an aldose - carbonyl on C1
fructose is a ketose - carbonyl on C2
pyruvate is an alpha keto acid (carbonyl on alpha c)
kinase
adds a phosphate, favorable reaction, uses atp and makes adp
mutase
moves phosphate to another hydroxyl group
