Lecture 22 Flashcards
<p>Metabolism is highly connected vis these \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ ? </p>
<p>central metabolic "highways" (glycolysis, Krebs, etc). in plants, animals and bacteria. </p>
<p>Most microbes oxidize \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ as their primary source of cellular respiration. What is this called? </p>
<p>carbohydrates
carbohydrate catabolism</p>
<p>\_\_\_\_\_\_ is the most common carbohydrate energy source used by cells. </p>
<p>glucose</p>
<p>To get energy from glucose, microbes use these two general processes? </p>
<p>cellular respiration and fermentation</p>
<p>First step of cellular respiration and fermentation? </p>
<p>glycolysis </p>
<p>Three principal steps of cellular respiration?
Embden-Meyerhof pathway is what? </p>
<p>1. Glycolysis (Embden-Meyerhof pathway)
2. Krebs cycle
3. ETC</p>
<p>Steps in fermentation? </p>
<p>1. Glycolysis
| 2. Fermentative pathways </p>
<p>Glucose (a 6 carbon sugar) is broken down into two 3-carbon sugars
what happens during this process? and what is formed?</p>
<p>glycolysis
These sugars are oxidized (losing electrons), releasing energy and their atoms are rearranged to form two molecules of pyruvic acid. </p>
<p>Glycolysis does not require what? </p>
<p>oxygen; it can occur whether oxygen is present or not </p>
<p>The generation of ATP in glycolysis is due to what? </p>
<p>substrate-level phosphorylation (SLP)</p>
<p>The oxidation of glucose to pyruvic acid produces what? </p>
<p>ATP and NADH</p>
<p>What is ATP made up of?
ATP is generated during certain \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ rxns, consumed in \_\_\_\_\_\_\_ rxns. </p>
<p>nucleoside adenosine to which 3 phosphate molecules are bonded in series. It is the prime energy currency in all cells
-exergonic rxns, endergonic rxns</p>
<p>Oxidation reduction (redox) rxns in microbes typically involves rxn between one or more intermediates called \_\_\_\_\_\_\_ ? </p>
<p>Carriers</p>
<p>Electron carries can be divided into 2 classes:</p>
<p>those that are freely diffusible (coenzymes) and those that are firmly attached to enzymes in the cytoplasmic membrane (prosthetic groups)</p>
<p>The fixed carriers function in membrane associated e- transport rxns that we'll see in \_\_\_\_\_\_ ?</p>
<p>the ETC</p>
<p>Common diffusiblecarriers include the ?</p>
<p>coenzymes Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) and NAD- Phosphate (NADP+)</p>
<p>NAD+ and NADP+ are e- + \_\_\_\_\_\_ carriers, transporting \_\_\_\_\_\_\_ ?</p>
<p>proton carriers, transporting 2e-s and 2H+ at a time. </p>
<p>The electrons from the oxidation of glucose are temporarily stored by \_\_\_\_\_\_ ? Which is also generated during the Krebs cycle </p>
<p>NADH </p>
<p>If NAD+ gets reduced it is picking up \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ and producing \_\_\_\_\_\_\_ . </p>
<p>two hydrogen atoms, and producing NADH + H+</p>
<p>NADH is a good \_\_\_\_\_\_\_ and NAD+ a good \_\_\_\_\_\_ . </p>
<p>electron donor, electron acceptor </p>
