Lecture 2.2: Introducing the Team Players

Question 1

Answer 1

ATP

Question 2

Answer 2

ADP

Question 3

What is ATP made of

Answer 3

a base, adenine, a sugar (ribose), and 3 phoephate groups

Question 4

What is ATP made of

Answer 4

a base, adenine, a sugar (ribose), and 3 phoephate groups

Question 5

what are the adenine and ribose sugar together called

Answer 5

adenosine

Question 6

how is ATP used for energy

Answer 6

enzymes remove a phosphate and attach it to a different molecule. This transferred energy can be used by the phosphorylated molecules to change shape and allow activity

Question 7

What enzyme removes the phosphate on ATP to make ADP

Answer 7

an enzyme of the “kinase” class

Question 8

The big 3 co-enzymes used for electrons and hydrogen ions H+

Answer 8

NAD, FAD, NADP

Question 9

what compounds are electron carriers that accept electrons when compounds are broken down

Answer 9

NAD and FAD

Question 10

Reduced forms of NAD and FAD

Answer 10

NADH and FADH2

Question 11

why is NADH important

Answer 11

it delivers hydrogen and electrons to biochemical processes that use them to make ATP

Question 12

_______ takes one H+ and is readily reversible

Answer 12

NAD

Question 13

_____ takes 2 H+

Answer 13

FAD

Question 14

______ takes 1 H+ but is very strong

Answer 14

NADH

Question 15

what does NAD+ stand for

Answer 15

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide

Question 16

reduced form of NAD+

Answer 16

NADH

Question 17

Why is NAD+ important

Answer 17

it is a key player in glycolysis, citric acid cycle, and in mitochondria

Question 18

T or F: NAD is a dinucleotide

Answer 18

t

Question 19

what does FAD stand for

Answer 19

flavin adenine dinucleotide

Question 20

what is used to derive FAD

Answer 20

Roboflavin

Question 21

what enzyme do NAD and FAD work in association with

Answer 21

dehydrogenase

Question 22

what does NADP+ stand for

Answer 22

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate

Question 23

where is NADP used

Answer 23

in the calvin cycle (photosynthesis), lipid and nucleic acid synthesis

Question 24

reduced form of NADP+

Answer 24

NADPH

Question 25

main role of NADPH

Answer 25

is a very strong reducing agent used for photosynthesis and lipid metabolism

Question 26

What does Acetyl CoA stand for

Answer 26

Acetyl Coenzyme A
A stands for Acetyl

Question 27

what does the enzyme Nitrate reductase do

Answer 27

converts NO3-2 to NO2-

Question 28

what cofactors and coenzymes are associated with Nitrate reductase

Answer 28

Iron cofactors
NADH and FAD coenzymes
