Q

ATP functions

A
  • Store high energy chemical bonds
  • resultant chemical energy can be turned into different kinds of energy (chemical, mechanical, heat)
  • Second substrate
  • Allosteric effector

Q

ATP as Second Substrate def. & e.g.

A

Kinases use ATP to transfer the terminal phosphate groups to various acceptors
- phosphorylation of glucose to glucose-6-phosphate with liberation of ADP

Q

Anaerobic process (+e.g)

A

no oxygen

in Cytosol, glycolytic pathway

16
Q

aerobic ( + e.g.)

A

requires O2
in mitochondria
large mounts of energy

17
Q

Acetyl CoA Process - Oxygen rich

A

A CoA enter TCA - oxidized fully - generates GTP - reduces NADH and FADH that then enter terminal oxidation system to produce ATP

18
Q

Major energy generating rxns in Mitochodria (+ Location)

A

Pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) - Mitosol
Fatty Acid beta-oxidation - Mitosol
Krebs cycle - Mitosol
Terminal Oxidation (Electron Transport and Oxidative Phosphorylation) - Mitochondrial inner membrane

19
Q

Outer Mit. Membrane

A

Simple. Permeable. Few Functions

20
Q

Inner Mit. Membrane

A

Complex. 80% protein. semi-permeable.

Contains most energy systems

21
Q

Transporters

A

Part of inner membrane that regulates transport of molecules

22
Q

Substrate shuttles

A

Transport reducing equivalents from NADH in cytosol across the inner membrane for energy generation
Irreversible

23
Q

Transfer reducing equivalents from cytosol to mitochondrial matrix

A

Malate aspartate shuttle

alpha-glycerol phosphate shuttle

24
