Module 7- Metabolism Flashcards
Exam 3
Anabolism
- Building body compounds
- Thermodynamically unfavorable
- Requires energy
Thermodynamically unfavorable
Requires a large amount of energy
Catabolism:
- Breaking down body compounds
- Releases energy
- Thermodynamically favorable
Coupled Reaction:
Energy released from breakdown (hydrolysis) of reaction used to fuel second reaction (such as building)
Hydrolysis
breaking apart with water
Thermodynamically favorable
Does not require a lot of energy
Aerobic
requires oxygen
Ketabolism:
process of tissue breakdown that occurs during starvation ketosis
What is anabolism the process of?
process of building complex molecules from simpler ones
What is catabolism?
set of metabolic pathways that breaks down large molecules into smaller units
Is ATP concentration high or low?
SUPER high
Is ADP concentration high or low?
SUPER low
What does ATP turn into?
ADP
Is going from ATP to ADP favorable or unfavorable?
favorable because we always have way more ATP than we need
Glucose must go through what to get into the cell?
It has to through a GLUT transfer or GLUT4
Hexokinase
a coupled reaction, a regulatory step that traps glucose in the cell and turns it into Glucose 6 Phosphate
What does Glucose turn into when it enters the cell?
Glucose 6 Phosphate
What is a regulatory step?
It requires energy
What does the nucleus contain?
DNA
What does Cytosol contain?
- Glycolysis occurs here
- Anaerobic
Mitochondria
- Energy metabolism (“Powerhouse”)
- Electron Transport Chain
- Aerobic
- Krebbs Cycle
What is the Electron Transport Chain?
Oxidated Phosphorylation
What does Oxidated Phosphorylation require?
Oxygen
What stabilizes a phosphate group?
Mg2+, the 2+ stabilizes the Beta and Gamma phosphate. It can shift over though leaving the Gamma exposed causing hydrolysis to occur.
Enzymes
- Facilitators of metabolic reactions
- Enzymes lower activation energy for these reactions to proceed.
Coenzymes
- Organic
- Associate with enzymes
- NAD/NADH
- Niacin - FAD/FADH2
NAD
Nicotine Amide Adenine dinucleotide
What vitamin is Niacin?
Niacin is the active form of Vitamin B3
What does Niacin turn into?
Niacin turns into NAD
What vitamin is FAD?
FAD is the active form of Vitamin Riboflavin
FAD/FADH2
Flavin-Amide-Adenine-dinucleotide
What is the end product of Glycolysis?
2 Pyruvate is the end product of Glycolysis
Pyruvate
A 3 Carbon compound
Acetyl CoA
- universal energy substrate
- 2 Carbon compound
Pyruvate converts into what?
Pyruvate requires oxygen to then turn into Acetyl CoA
High energy carriers
NADH or FADH2
What are ketogenic amino acids turned into?
ketones are formed
What are glucogenic amino acids turned into?
glucose is formed
Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR)
Energy metabolism that occurs after waking in the morning, at least 12 hours after the last meal.
What is the importance of BMR
BMR is the energy for functions that sustain life
How many Acetyl CoA can be obtained from one fatty acid?
8
What is the primary function of smooth endoplasmic reticulum
Lipid synthesis
What is the primary function of the rough endoplasmic reticulum?
Protein synthesis
The liver makes sure there is enough glucose in the blood for what organ?
the brain
