23
Q

explain how glycogen phsolorate works

A

cleaves the monomers off at the non reducing end
uses inorganic phosphate to attach to that glucose
beomces glucose 1 phosphate and then that can go to glycolysis

Q

what is the function of the debranching enzyme

A

debranaching cleaves/breaks the 1-6 bond town

28
Q

do the branching and debraching enzumes work at the non reducing ends

A

no thats for the 1-4 bonds only

29
Q

what stimulats the glycogen synthase and the branching enzyme (the creation of more glycogen) and what is the fucntion

A

insulin

allows us to store glycogen for future energy use

30
Q

what are the 2 main fucntions insulin

A

allows glucsoe uptake in the cell

stimulates glycogen synthase and branching enzyme

31
Q

is insulin (synthase and branching) important for glycogenesis or glycogenolysis

A

glycogenesis

32
Q

are glycogen phoshorylze and debrachingimportant for glycogenesis or glycogebolysis

A

glycogenolysis

33
Q

where is insulin located

A

can be found in lover and muscles (secreted by beta cells of liver)

34
Q

what are the 3 stimulators of glyocgen phosrhorylze (glycogenolysis)

A

epinephrine
glucagon
AMP

35
Q

what are the two HORMONES that stimulate glycogenolysis

A

glucagon

epinephrine

36
Q

what is the product stimulator of glyocgenolysis

A

AMP

37
Q

explain how glucagon is a stimuator

A

Glucagon is stimulated by the alhpa cells in the pancreas during exercise to signal the breakdown of the glycogen for glucose

38
Q

where is glucagon found

A

liver

39
Q

explain how epinegphrine is a stimulator of glycogenloysis

A

when exercise is high, in the liver and in te muscle, stimulated to breakdown glycogen for energy

40
Q

is the relationship between exercise internsity and stimulators directly proportional or indicitrectl

A

directly
as energy increases
hormone secretion increases

41
Q

where is epinephrine found

A

liver and muscle cells

42
Q

where is the AMP stimulator found

A

muscle

43
Q

explain how AMP is a stimulator for glycogenolysis

A

During high intensity exercise, AMP will begin to accumulate in the cell
When AMP is present, the cell knows there is a low energy source so it stimualtes glycogen phosloryza and debraching enzymes

44
Q

true or false: glycogenolysis and glycogenesis are supposed to happen at the same time

A

false, do not want these systems workign at the same time (coutner productuve)

45
Q

what are the two forms og glycogen phosphorylaze

A 
phosphorylza a (active)
phosphoralaze b(inactaive)
46
Q

explain active vs inaction phosphorlaze

A

when there is a phophosphate bound to the glucogen phospholaze, it is activated and will stimulate the breakdown of glycogen

when the phosphate group is removed, you get glycogen phosphorylaze b (inactive) which will inhibit glycogenlosis

47
Q

what inhibits the glycogen synthase

A

when a phosphate group is added to glycgen syntahse, it is inhibited and cannot do glycogenesis

48
Q

what happens at the same time that glycogen phosphorylze is activated

A

when the enzyme for glycogenolysis is activated (has a phosphate group attached), the enzyme for glycogenesis (glycogen syntahse) is INHIBITED by phosphrylzation

49
Q

what is an example of a futile system

A

glycogenlosys and glycogenesis

50
Q

what is the protein/kinase that allows this activation/inhbition of the two systems at the same time

A

c (cyclic amp) dependent protein kinase

51
Q

do epinephrine and glucagon enter the cell to directly activate glycogenlysos

A

no , they simulate CAMP dpeendnet protein kinase

52
Q

what is the fucntion of Camp depending protein kinase?

A

Activates glycogen phosphorylzase (glycogenolyssi) by adding an inorganic phosphate to the enzyme

AT THE SAME TIME

inhiits glycogen syntahse (glycogenesis) by adding an inorhanic phosphate to the enzyme

53
Q

who is the main contributior for activation and inhibition of glycogenolysis and glycogensis

A

C-amp depending protein kinase

54
Q

what is the breakdown of glycogen dependent on

A

exercise intensity (ie. light exercise=less rate of breakdown/ glycogenlosys)

55
Q

where is eponephrine/adrenaline released from

A

adrenale glands (adrenal medula)

56
Q

explain glycogen utilization durinf exercise

A

light exercsie: almost have 100% of glycogen content left (very light rate of glycogen breakdwon)

moderate: over a 2 hour period, there is a graducal reduction of glyocgen from the msucle fibers doing the work

heavy exercise: wont be able to exercise for long ebcause you will breakdown all the glycogen content

57
Q

what happens when the the glycogen content is at almost 0% in your muscles

A

muscles are fatigued because the myofibirls are almost totally depeleted of glycogen

58
Q

what are the two otpions for gluccose 6 phsophate

A

1) glycogen synthsis

2) glycolysis

59
Q

what are the first 4 steps of glycolyis and the eneregy requirements

A

Glucose > glucose 6 phosphate (1 ATP needed)
Glucose 6 phophate >frucose 6 phosphate (no energy)
fructose 6 phosphate> frcose 1,6 dispohoate (1 ATP NEEDED)
fructise 1-6 diphosphates splits

2 atp deficit

60
Q

what hapennes once fructose 1-6 diphospate is formd

A

the 6 carbon molecule will split into two 3 carbon entities

61
Q

when is atp start to be synthesized in glycolyis

A

after it splits into the 2 3 carbon units

62
Q

when is the first 2 atp manufactured in glycolyssi

A

1-3 diphosphoglyceric acid to

3 phosphoglyceric acid

63
Q

when is the last 2 atp’s being made in glycolysis

A

phospholenulpyruvic > pyruvate

ADP>ATP by losing a phosphate

64
Q

what is the final product of glycolysis

A

2 pyruvic acids (pyruvate)

65
Q

what is the net energy yield of glycolysis

A

2 atp
