Lecture 8 Flashcards
glycolysis - glucose
2 pyruvate –> 2 acetyl CoA.
- in cytosol
- net product: 2 ATPs
- pyruvate converted to CO2 and H20 in mitochondria/matrix –>30 ATP
Citric acid cycle (TCA)
in matrix
acetyl CoA —> CO2
electron transport/carrier
NADH and FADH2 - proton gradient
ATPSynthase
makes ATP using proton gradient
sugars and lipids are used to make
ATP
whats required for metabolizing fat?
oxygen
how does glucose get in cell?
glut transporters. glut 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. GLUT5 takes in fructose.
diabetes
-type II diabetes- you become insulin resistant/ the cells see the insulin but don’t respond.
There are only two types of cells dependent on insulin-
muscle cells and fat cells. these 2 have GLUT4.
muscle cells
as youre running, muscles are using up stored glucose, fueling ability to move
Where do we store glucose in our bodies?
liver. called glycogen.
Pancreas secretes 2 hormones-
insulin (beta cells, is a polymer of glucose) and glycagon (alpha cells), glycagon secreted when sugar levels are low, goes to liver).
mitochondria
- energy converting organelles
- responsible for majority of atp produced in cells
- double membrane
- outer membrane-highly permeable to small molecules
chemiosmotic coupling
couples ATP formation w osmotic gradient across
organelle membrane
outer membrane of mit
transport proteins called porins
- < 5000 dalton molecules enter space
- equivalent to cytosol
inner membrane of mit
- highly impermeable to ions
- special phospholipids called cardiolipin (4 fatty acid chains)
- lots of transport proteins
- enzymes of electron transport chain (matrix)
- cristae- infoldings, increases surface area
Mit genome
- own dna encoding 13 proteins
- 22 tRNAs
- ribosome made of 2 rRNAs
- product of endosymbiosis- free living oxygen - metabolizing eubacteria that were engulfed
glycolysis energy metabolism
goes from 6C to 2 3C.
when sugar levels are too low
alpha cells are activated.
where is the matrix?
inner membrane (mit)
bonds and electrons hold what type of energy?
potential energy
kinetic energy
when things are moving
red dot go on top in glycolysis
called isomerization
when you generate atp it is called
substrate level phosphroylation
