Lecture 8 Key Summary Points Flashcards
When ATP level is high. What will happen to citrate? Explain in terms of citrate’s cellular location and what it will convert to.
Citrate will be be transported from mitochondrion to cytoplasm, where it is converted to acetyl CoA and oxaloacetate.
True or False? Lorenzo’s oil is used to stop fatty acid degradation.
False, it stops biosynthesis
True or False? Both fatty acid oxidation and biosynthesis use NADH as the electron carrier.
False, Biosynthesis uses NADPH
Give the name of the enzyme that produces FADH2 during fatty acid beta oxidation. In one sentence explain why it does not produce NADH.
acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (ACDH) because FAD is needed to oxidize the C-C to C C double bond.
Give the name of the vitamin that acetyl CoA carboxylase uses as its cofactor.

How many labels are there for ubiquitin?
4
What is the garbage disposal?
Proteosome
What is the purpose of amino transferase?
Transfer unwanted ammonia to alpha ketoglutarate
What is the end product?
L-Glutamate
How many N’s does L-Glutamate carry?
1 Nitrogen
What is the name of the enzyme in step 2 glutamine
Glutamine Synthetase
How many ATP are spent?
1 ATP
How many N’s does Glutamine carry?
2 N’s
What are the 2 enzymes that will liberate N from glutamine in the liver?
