metabolism Flashcards
For each of the metabolic pathways, list the enzymes we discussed in class and explain what the enzymes do (the substrate and product of the rxn they facilitate), in which tissue they’re located, and how each enzyme is regulated.
1
for each metabolic pathways discussed in class, list what it does, where it occurs, whether it is anabolic or catabolic, and whether it results in a net loss or a net gain of ATP.
#
If given a diagram of glycolysis, explain what is happening in each step and describe its purpose/benefit to the overall pathway
2
Explain the two phases of glycolysis
1
Explain why certain steps of glycolysis are key regulatory steps
@
summarize the ATP invested and recovered from each molecule of glucose
!
Explain how NADH is generated by glycolysis and the benefit
@
Describe the two major fates of pyruvate following glycolysis, including the substrate, products, enzymes, and regulation of both rxns, as well as the factors that determine which rxn occurs.
!
Describe the Cori Cycle (what it is, when it occurs, where does it occur, why does it occur)
2
Explain and compare the mechanisms by which reducing equivalents and pyruvate get into the mitochondria
@
Given a diagram of the TCA cycle, explain what is happening in each step and the purpose or benefit of each step
!
List the first reaction of the TCA cycle, as well as the products of each step of the cycle
!
Explain how the electron transport chain (ETC) is linked to other pathways and where FADH and NADH enter the ETC
Takes place in the inter membrane.
Describe how ATP is produced in the ETC
!
compare and contrast substrate-level and oxidative phosphorylase of ADP. Explain where and how each works and list the amount of ATP produced in each
!
