Glycolysis, CAC, and ETC (oxidative phosphorylation) Flashcards
what are the two stages of glycolysis
- preparatory-phosphorylation
2. Payoff- REDOX or electron transfer
What is the net products of glycolyisis
2 pyruvate, 2ATP and 2 NADH+H
T/F all dietary carbohydrates are broken down to glucose
False
Where does Galactose enter glycolysis
glucose-1-phosphate
where do mannose and fructose enter glycolysis
fructose-6-phosphate
Regulation of PFK-1
ADP and AMP activate
ATP and citrate deactivate
The pentose phosphate pathway products
Glucose-6-phosphate are oxidized into ribose sugars while making:
NADPH and Ribose sugars (nucleotides, ATP, FAD, Coenzyme A, NAD+)
Why is NADPH important
necessary for reductive biosynthesis (creating fatty acids and sterols) and free radical protection, and must be maintained within the cell.
Regulation of pentose phosphate pathway
NADPH will inhibit glucose-6-phosphate from becoming 6-phosphogluconolactone and prevent more NADPH from being made
3 fates of pyruvate
- Fermentation by microbes into ethanol and CO2 (anaerobic)
- enter the CAC by Acetyl-CoA (aerobic)
- Fermentation in humans into lactate (anaerobic)
Why is fermentation important?
it regenerates the NAD+ so that glycolysis can occur in the absence of oxygen.
Lactate is readily transported out of the cells and into the blood, then it enters the liver where is is converted into glucose via gluconeogenesis (cori cycle).
Mitochondria outer membrane
freely permeable to small molecules and ions
Mitochondria inner membrane
impermeable to most small molecules and ions including H. Has ETC proteins and ATPsynthase
Mitochondria matrix
contains pyruvate dehydrogenase complex CAC enzymes Fatty acid beta oxidation AA oxidation DNA ribosomes
How is mitochondria dysfunction tied to apoptosis
release of cytochrome c moves to cytosol. assemble apoptosome which leads to capsase cascade which leads to cell death.
