Intro to Int. Metab., Bioenergetics & Oxid Metab. Flashcards
Intermediary Metabolism
Generates energy from fuel molecules to feed all cell of the body
Define Metabolism
Sum of chemical reactions that occur in cell, tissue or body.
Catabolism
Oxidative degradation of complex nutrient molecules (C, L, P) obtained either from environment or from cellular reserves
Exergonic
energy captured by NADH or FADH to make ATP
Anabolism
Complex biomolecules (P, NA, PS, L) are assembled from simple precursors.
Endergonic
Covalent bonds formed
ATP driven
Endergonic
Need Energy
+ ∆G
Exergonic
Release
-∆G
Catabolism energy poor end products
CO2 H2O NH3
Anabolism precursor molecules
AA, Sugars, FA, Nitrogenous Bases
negative ∆G
Proceeds to equilibrium - gives off energy
positive ∆G
Needs additional energy to act
Generic Pathway of Catabolism
Macromolecules to Building Blocks to Acetyl CoA
Electron transporters in energy reactions a.k.a CoEnzymes
NAD+ and FAD
ATP functions
- Store high energy chemical bonds
- resultant chemical energy can be turned into different kinds of energy (chemical, mechanical, heat)
- Second substrate
- Allosteric effector
ATP as Second Substrate def. & e.g.
Kinases use ATP to transfer the terminal phosphate groups to various acceptors
- phosphorylation of glucose to glucose-6-phosphate with liberation of ADP
Energy-Rich Molecules (+what process for each)
ATP - oxidative catabolism GTP - gluconeogenesis, protein synthesis UTP - glycogen synthesis CTP - lipid synthesis Acetyl CoA - Oxidative catabolism Succinyl CoA - oxidative catabolism 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate - glycolysis phosphoenolpyruvate - glycolysis
