13
Q

Is glucose oxidized or reduced during glycolysis?

A

Oxidized, because it loses the H+ and goes to NADH

14
Q

What are the 2 possible steps of glycolysis?

A

Glucose turns into 2 pyruvic acids OR

IF NO OXYGEN IS AVAILABLE the pyruvic acid turns into lactic acid

16
Q

How many ATP & NADH is produced in the formation of acetylCoA?

A

No ATP

2 NADH

17
Q

How many ATP & NADH are produced in the krebs cycle?

A

6 NADH
2 ATP
ALSO 2 FADH2
AND 4 CO2

18
Q

What is chemiosmosis

A

When the H+ produced moves to the cristae of the mitochondria from the matrix, making the cristae high in acidity. The H+ is pushed back with ADPase, making ATP

19
Q

Where is H2O made and how many?

A

In the ETC, 6

20
Q

What is made in the ETC?

A

34 ATP

6 H2O

21
Q

Define Gluconeogenesis

A

Where glucose is made from non carbohydrate sources when glucose levels are low.

22
Q

Ketogenesis

A

AcetylCoA are produced from fats, they bind creating ketones

23
Q

Define keto acidosis

A

Elevated number of ketones

24
Q

Define ketones

A

Ketones are made when fats are catabolism’s to create ATP (chains of acetylCoA)

25
Q

Define urea

A

Excess amino groups that are removed in the liver and converted to a molecule

26
Q

Define absorptive state

A

The four hours after a meal where food is absorbed and stored

27
Q

Postabsorptive state

A

When no food is taken in, the stored food is used for ATP

28
Q

What hormone is made during the absorptive state?

A

Insulin bc it provides glucose for consumption

29
Q

3 lipoproteins

A

Chylomicrons
HDL
LDL

30
Q

4 functions of the liver

A

Make bile
Filter blood
Clotting factors
Stores iron

31
Q

BMR defined

A

The rate at which the body consumes oxygen at rest

32
Q

Name 4 characteristics of enzymes

A

Speed up reactions
Catalyzes only 1 reaction
Has optimal pH and temp
Works by lock and key reaction

33
Q

Define beta oxidation

A

Where fatty acids can be broken down and turned into acetylCoAs

34
Q

Can fatty acids be turned into glucose?

A

No, bc In B- oxidation, it happens in the formation is acetylCoA & that is no reversible.

35
Q

What do ketones in the body indicate?

A

Lipolysis is happening frequently in the body, which is the breakdown of fats

36
Q

Define demination

A

Removing a NH2 group, takes it to the liver

37
Q

The absorptive state uses what process with glucose

A

Glucogenesis (stores glucose as glycogen)

38
Q

The post absorptive state uses what process with glucose

A

Glycogenoylsis(glycogen to glucose)

Gluconeogenesis(glucose from non carb sources)
