Muscle Metabolism Flashcards
glycolysis
glucose uses 2 ATP to make glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate which turns into pyruvic acid, making 4 ATP and 2 NADH
acetyl-coa formation
pyruvic acid becomes acetyl-coa, making 2 NADH and 2 CO2
kreb’s cycle
acetyl-coa goes through a series of steps, producing 6 NADH, 2 FADH2, 2 GTP that turn into ATP, and 4 CO2
electron transport chain is a
series of oxidative-phosphorylation reactions
oxidation
removal of electrons from a molecule that results in a decrease in energy
reduction
addiction of electrons to a molecule that results in an increase in energy
electron transport chain produces
32 to 24 ATP
aerobic respiration produces
36 to 38 ATP total
anaerobic respiration
glycolysis creates 2 ATP (net), pyruvic acid converts to lactic acid that goes into blood
aerobic cellular respiration
amino acids from proteins, fatty acids from adipose, pyruvic acid from glycolysis, and oxygen from hemoglobin or myoglobin produces heat, 36 ATP, CO2, and H2O
