Metabolism and Hormones (Exams 1 &2) Flashcards
define metabolism
all chemical reactions in the body
catabolism
breakdown
anabolism
build up
1st law of thermodynamics
energy is neither created or destroyed
2nd law of thermodynamics
processes goes from higher order to lesser order
how much energy in the body is released as heat?
60-70%
advantages and disadvantages to using carbs
fast, readily available, easy to use for energy, used for aerobic and anaerobic activities
must be stored with H2O, takes lots of space
advantages and disadvantages to fats
lots of energy yeilded, long term duration activities, slower transport to mm and requires O2 so cant be used for anaerobic
why can’t proteins be used for much energy?
bc u can’t oxidize nitrogen
whats the key to using proteins as energy?
must convert the AA to PEP through gluconeogenesis- however, this costs a lot of ATP
stored ATP breaks down through what mechanism?
hydrolysis and ATPase no O2 required
what is the ATP-PCR system used for?
explosive quick energy,
anaerobic, 5-15 seconds
produces 1 mol ATP and 1 mol PCr
what is the formula for the ATP PCr system and what enzyme works in the system
ADP+PCR–>ATP +Cr
creatine kinase
finish this formula:
ADP+ ADP–>
ATP and AMP (via adenylate kinase)
3 ways to make ATP IMMEDIATELY!
1) from ATP, ATP+H2O(APTase)–> ADP+Pi
2) PCr, ADP+PCr (creatine kinase) –>ATP +Cr
3) ADP, ADP+ADP (adenylate kinase) –> ATP +AMP
Where does glycolysis occur?
in the cytosol
is glycolysis aerobic or anaerobic?
anaerobic
what is glucose broken down into (glucose is in the blood)
broken down into 2,3 carbon sugars called pyruvic acid
where does pyruvic acid go after its broken down from glucose
2 choices:
if there is oxy, it goes into the KREBS cycle.
if there is no oxy, it becomes lactic acid
where does Krebs cycle occur?
in the mitochondria
how does pyruvic acid get from the cytosol where it was broken down from glucose, into the mitochondria where krebs ocurs?
joins with oxy to become acetyl coA and be shuttled accross the membrane
what does lactic acid yield?
lactic acid breaks down into lactate + H+, the lactate goes into the krebs cycle and the H+ goes into PCr+ADP+ H+–>APT +PCr
what does lactate dehydrogenase do?
converts pyruvic acid into lactate which can then go into the Krebs cycle
whats the cori cycle, where does it occur and when do u use it?
creases glucose from lactate in the liver with the use of 6 ATP (very expensive) only use to maintain blood glucose if u are fasting
describe ETC
H+ from the end of glycolysis and krebs join with NAD/FAD to be NADH and FADH2, the the H+ goes thru the ETC and ATP+ H2O comes out
each NADH yields how many ATP?
3
each FADH2 yields how many ATP?
2
all the way from glycolysis through ETC yields how many ATP?
38 from glucose
39 from glycogen
how do the FFA floating in the blood stream get into krebs?
acetyl CoA picks em up and takes em into the mitochondria
1 16 Carbon fat results in…
8 acetyl CoA–>
7 NADH
7 FADH2
= 31 ATP-2 for activation= grand total of 129 ATP
What makes a person high risk for exercise testing?
known CV, pulmonary or metabolic disease
what are the precautions for high risk exercise testing?
need physician present for max or sub max
What makes a person moderate risk for exercise testing?
Asymptomatic with 2 or more risk factors
what precautions must be taken when a person has moderate risk for exercise testing?
physician recommended to be present for max exercise testing only
