Q

what is lipolysis

A

false they are hydrophbic therefore need a carrier

43
Q

how much energy is needed to push the fatty actl group through the membrane

A

2 atp (ATP goes toAMP)

44
Q

what is the reason that the long chain fatty acyl must go out of the cytosol and into mitp

A

must find its way back to the mitcohondira so it can be brolen down and deliver its products to the ETC and kreb cycle

45
Q

what must bind to the fatty acyl group to start fatty acid transport into the mitochondira

A

carnatine

46
Q

what does carnatine replace

A

replaced the Co a group in the fatty acyl

47
Q

true or false: carnatine is a protein found within the blood

A

false, it is found within the cytsol of a cell

48
Q

how does the carnatine attach to the fatty acyl group

it requires atp > amp to charge the reaction

49
Q

whwere is carnatine acetyltransferase 1 found

A

outer mitchondiral membrane

50
Q

whatt is the function of the carnatine actyl transferase 1 enzyme

A

binds the carnatine fatty acyl and pushes it into the intermembrane space

51
Q

what does the carnatine fatty acyl need to enter tthrough the inner mitochondiral memrbane

A

needs to have a tranport protein

52
Q

once the carnatine fatty acyl has travelled through the inner mithoncdira membrane, what enxyme is it faced iwht

A

carnitne actyltransferase 2

53
Q

what is the function of the carnatine acetyl transferate 2 in the matrix

A

dislodges the carnatine from the fatty acyl group and picks up a co-a floating in the matrix of the mitochondira
=acetyl coa rebinds witth thte fatty acyn group
=FATTY ACYL COA IS REFORMED INSIDE THE MITCHONDIRA

54
Q

whatt does the processs of fatty acid transportation do

A

transportes fatty acid from the cytsoll to the mitchondira

55
Q

what is needed to get the uptake of fatty acid into the cell

A

carnatine and the carnatine acetyltransferaase enxymes

56

true or false: once carnatine is disloasged from the fatty acid it is degreaded

A

false, it will go back out to the cytsolto be bound again

57

hwo can carnatine easily travek throu gh the mitchondira membrane

A

it has polar heads

58
Q

what happens to the carnatine actyl transferase 1 once it binds with carnatine

A

changes conformation and allows the long chain fatty acid to enter the intermembrane space to travel throug hthe transporter

59
Q

once the fatty acyl travels througj the inner memrbane of the mitchondira,does it still have its carnatine group attached

A

yes

60

how is carnatine removef from the fatty actid

A

carnatine acetyl transferase 2

61
Q

what replaced the carnatine that is dislodged from the fatty acid and what is that fucntion

A

a coa group to regorm the fatyl acid group inside the memrbane

62
Q

explain the process of biosyhtesis of fats

A

1) acetyl coa is the primer (arrives from glycolysis and kreb cycle
2) acrtyl coa merges witth oxaloacetate to form citrate IN THE MITOCHONDRIA
3) citrate enters the cytsol through the citrate shuttle
4) once inside the cytosol, citrate splits back into actyl coa and oxaloaceate (requires ATP)
5) Acetyl coa is converted to malonyl coa (by ACETYL COA CARBOXYLASE0
6) Maloyn will add carbons to it 1 at a time by the enxyme fatty acid synthase (uses 2 nadph)
7) fatty is made

63
Q

what tis the enzyme that converts acetyl coa to malonyl coa

A

acetyl coa carbxoylase

64
Q

what is the enzyme that converts maloyn coa to the faty ACID (what allows you to add carbons )

A

fatty acid synthase

65
Q

what is the process of fatty acid transport from the cytsol to the mitochondira

A

1) fatty acid in the cytsol is bound with a coa group
2) ATP> AMP to prove energy to remove the coa group and bind carnatine
3) carnatine acetyl transferase enzyme 1 (in the outer mitochondrial membrane) binds carnatine, changes conformation and pulls the fatty acid with carnatine tp the intermembrane space
4) the fatty acid with carnatine travels through a transprot protein located i nthe inner mitochondrials membrane
5) carnatine actyltransferate 2 dislodged the carnatine protein and re atttached a coa groupo
=RE FORMED FATTY ACYL GROUP
6) Fatty acid can go and be oxideized and carnatine can reexit and be boudn to a new fatty acid

66
Q

where does fatty oxidattion (beta oxidation) occur

A

in the mitochondira

67
Q

why is beta oxidation in the mitchodnira

A

so the products made (NADH and FADH and Acetyl coa) can go and enter the kreb cycle and the ETC

68
Q

what is the prupose of beta oxidation

A

BREAKING down fatty acids from for energy

69
Q

what is the main sequential event for beta oxidation

A

newly formed fatty acid arrives (many carbons attached)
Series of chemical reactions converts the fatty acyl coa to:
acrtyl coa (2 carbon)
FADH2
NADH
>left with a 14 c chain that cna re go through the oxidation

70
Q

everytime you go through one cycle of beta oxidation, what do you form

A

1 NADH
1 FADH2
1 Acetyl coa

71
Q

where does the FADH2 and NADH from the beta oxidation go

A

to the ETC for ATP

72
Q

where does the acetyl coa formed form beta go

A

Kreb cycle to form more NADH AND FADH2 and then the ETC

73
Q

how many steps of beta oxidation are there

A

4 steps

74
Q

what is the formula for number of cycles of beta oxidation

A

(number of carbons/2) - 1

75
Q

give an example of calcualtion the number of cycles of palmitic acid

A

palmitic = 16 c
16 C/ 2= 8
8-1
=7

76
Q

how many carbons do you break off for ebvery cycle of beta

A

2 carbon (as acetyl coa)

77
Q

what is the 14 carbon called from palmatate

A

myriostol coa

78
Q

once you are left with a 2 carbon entity will it reenter into beta oxidation

A

no , it will be acetyl coa and will just enter the kreb cycel

79
Q

what are the 2 cofactors needed for beta oxidation

A

NAD gets reduced to NADh

FAD gets reduced to FADH2

80
Q

how many atp is made from 1 acetyl coa of beta

A

12 atp (because kreb makes 3 nadh = 3 atp, 2 fadh2= 2 atp and 1 atp from gtp)

81
Q

for each nadh procudes in beta, how many atp can be formed from ETC

A

3 atp

82
Q

for every FADH2 produced in beta, how many atp

A

2

83
Q

what are the 4 main reactions for beta

A

dehydration
hydration
dehydrogenation
thiolysis

84
Q

true or false: the chain will continue to break down (ie. beta will continue) until you are left with 0 carbons

A

false it will stop when you have 2 carbons left becausre that will be actyl coa

85
Q

true or false: the acetyl coa from beta is wasted

A

false it goes to kreb cycle for atp

86
Q

true or false: the acetyl coa from beta is wasted

A

false it goes to kreb cycle for atp

87
Q

why is there a net atp in beta of 129 and not 131

A

you lose two phosphates/2 atp to get the fatty acid into the mitochondira (ATP goes to AMP)`

88
Q

how many atp can be formed for a 16 carbon fatty acid

A

7 cycles

8 acetyl (8 acetyl x 12 atp) =96 atp
7 nadh (7 x 3 atp) = 21
7 FADH (7x 2 atp) = 14

total: 131- 2 ATP TO GET FATTY IN MITOCHONDIRA
total net= 129 atp

89
Q

what is important to note in terms of oxygen for the brta oxidation

A

you need greater levels of xoygen to bind all the elctrons that are coming off of the FADH2 and NADH prduced from the beta

90
Q

the acetyl coa formed from the beta oxidation can only go to the kreb cycle?

A

no it can go to the kreb cycle but it can also develop ketone bodies

91
Q

how are ketone bodies rpoduced

A

by 2 acetyl coas
