Lecture 9 - Energetics Flashcards
What is glycolysis? Where does it occur
First step to breaking down glucose
Cytosol
Glycolysis forms… (net)
2 pyruvate, 2 ATP, and 2 NADH
How many ATP does glycolysis use? Produce?
Uses 2, produces 4
End product of glycolysis
Pyruvate
Citric acid cycle aka… Where does it occur?
Krebs/TCA
In the mitochondria
What does the CAC produce per 1 pyruvate
1 ATP or GTP
3 NADH
1 FADH2
2 CO2
Pyruvate becomes what to enter the CAC? What happens in this reaction
Acetyl CoA
An NADH and CO2 are released
Where do the electron transport chain and oxidative phosphorylation occur? Their roles?
In the membrane of mitochondria
Create electron gradient that can be used to generate ATP through ox phos
Each NADH that enters the ETC provides how many ATP? FADH2?
1 NADH = 3 ATP
1 FADH2 = 2 ATP
How many NADH and FADH2 are produced through glycolysis and the CAC? Equal to how much ATP?
10 NADH per glucose
2 FADH2 per glucose
= 34 ATP
Slide 7*
confused. 42 or 38 ATP??
How much ATP is generated when one acetate enters the CAC
Generate 12, but -2 when acetate is converted to acetyl-CoA so = 10
How do you make acetyl CoA
Acetate + Coenzyme A requires 2 ATP
Conversion of propionate so it can enter the CAC? Requires? Produces?
Can be converted to phosphoenolpyruvate
Requires 3 ATP, 1 GTP
Produces 1 GTP, 1 FADH 2, 1 NADH
How does phosphoenolpyruvate enter the CAC
Converted to pyruvate (produces 1 ATP)
The oxidation of propionate generates how many ATP? Net?
22 ATP
but 4 required
= 18 ATP/propionate
