Metabolism and TCA/Krebs/CAC Flashcards
– A central theme in biochemistry which keeps the cells & organisms alive
– It gives the energy to carry on & the building blocks required for growth & multiplication
Metabolism
degradative – turning down
Catabolic
synthetic – synthesis
Anabolic
Central hub (para magamit for energy)
Kreb’s cycle (citric acid cycle)
Ultimate product of nutrient metabolism
ATP
means splitting
Lysis
means building up
Genesis
break down of proteins
Proteolysis
break down of carbohydrates
Glycolysis
Glucose starting point
Glucogenesis
Non glucose sources
Gluconeogenesis
degrading of fats
lipolysis
building up of fats
lipogenesis
Reducing powers (catabolic reaction) and how many ATP would it produce
NADH (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide + hydrogen) (3 ATPs)
FADH2 (flavin adenine dinucleotide + H) (2 ATPs)
synthesis of small molecules
Anabolic metabolism
Catabolic reactions: (3)
Production of ATP
Production of reducing power (NADH)
Regeneration of building blocks for anabolic metabolism
Anabolic reactions: (2)
Synthesis of small molecules & building blocks that aren’t sufficiently avail in food
Synthesis of macromolecules (proteins & nuclei acids)
Glucose to 2 pyruvate or pyruvic acid
glycolysis
pyruvic acid to glucose
gluconeogenesis
glucose to glycogen
glycogenesis
