Title
Complex molecules
Glycogen, proteins, and triglycerides
Catabolic reactions
Transfer energy from complex molecules to ATP
Leads to simple molecules like glucose and amino acids
Anabolic reactions
Transfer energy from ATP to complex molecules
Cellular respiration
Reactions:
Glycolysis
TCA cycle
Lipids and proteins
Carbohydrate metabolism
Mostly glucose metabolism
- ATP production
- amino acid synthesis
- glycogen synthesis
- triglyceride synthesis
Lipid metabolism
Lipids are Hydrophobic / Nonpolar
(Don’t dissolve in water)
Lipoproteins
Classes of lipoproteins
Chylomicrons- transport dietary lipids
Very low density lipoproteins (VLDLS)
-transport triglycerides from hepatocytes to adipocytes
Low density lipoproteins (LDLs)- bad
High density lipoproteins (HDLs)- good
Lipid metabolism
Cholesterol - come from foods
-synthesized by hepatocytes
Increase in cholesterol increases risk of coronary artery disease
Exercise, diet
Protein metabolism
proteins are broken down into amino acids
Used to synthesize new proteins
Oxidized to produce ATP
Proteins function as enzymes
Antibodies, clotting blood, hormones
Protein catabolism
Converted to Amino acids
Protein anabolism
Creates new proteins by bonding together amino acids
Glucose catabolism
Cellular respiration
Break down of glucose into ATP
Glycolysis, Reba cycle, electron transport chain
30 to 32 molecules of ATP
Glycolysis
Conversion of glucose int pyruvic acid
Doesn’t require oxygen
Electron transport chain
Most ATP produced
Requires oxygen
Glucose anabolism
Gluconeogenesis
Glycogenesis
Triglyceride catabolism
Glycerol converted into glucose
Fatty acids catabolized into acetyl coenzyme A
Triglyceride anabolism
Synthesis of triglycerides from glucose and fatty acids makes lipogenesis
Adipose tissue store trygkercides
Fasting
Going without food for hours or days
Starvation
Going without food for inadequate food intake for weeks or months
