Q

Formation of ATP

where

A

ATP, energy shuttle, releasing the P to make ADP is the producing of energy, the breaking of bond

energy is released when phosphate is hydrolyzed off

Cytosol- glycolysis

Mitochondria- TCA and ETC cycle

Q

Possible fuel sources

A

Readily available
Carbohydrates (CHO)
—–Monosaccarides – E.g. Glucose (C6H12O6), fructose
——Disaccharides (e.g. Lactose, Sucrose)
——-Polysaccharides (Starch)

Proteins
Made up of amino Acids, converted to Keto acid, slower

Fats
Glycerol and fatty acids, $$$hold a lot of energy$$$

Q

Glycolysis steps and ATP production

A

starts in cytosol
breakdown of glucose of other fuels in the presence of oxygen to make ATP

Four stages
———-GPCE. - GOTHAM POLICE CHASE ENZYMES
- - -Glycolysis
- – Prepatory
- - - TCA
- - - ETs

in glycolysis glucose is broken down, and makes some ATP, while electrons are being shuttled to the ETS, to make more ATP
shuttle hydrogen to ETS and glucose breaks down into pyruvate- NADH carries electrons to ETS

move into mitochondria over the prep step and harvest some hydrogens

citric acid- blow apart molecule, only hydrogen and disposing of carbons and oxygens - NADH and FADH2 carry electrons to ETS

move into ETS
PRODUCES MOST OF THE ATP

Q

Co- Enzymes

A

NEEDED FOR REACTION, CATALYST
Hydrogen shuttles and move electrons to the ETS

NAD+ becomes NADH, that’s the shuttle

FAD becomes FADH2

Q

Glycolysis

enzymes in glycolysis to remember

A

9 rxns in the cytosol
breaks down glucose into two pyruvate

!!!!!! 2-2-2. !!!!!!!

to start input 2 ATP and 1 glucose,

at the end produce 4 ATP.
NET 2 produced

2 NADH shuttled to ETS

2 pyruvate are produced

hexokinase- starts the porocess

pyruvate kinases- makes the last ATP and finishes the process

Phosphofructokinase- this is how we control glycolysis in the cell, IS THE CONTROL MECHANISM, CAN SLOW, SPEED UP, OR STOP THE RXN

Q

Start of Prepatory step, moving into —–

what does it lose across membrane and inside the —–

what does it become

A

moving into the mitochondria

pyruvate kinase on the outside uses a transport protein

lose a CO2 in the transfer, an irreversible step

pull off a hydrogen and give to NADH

LEAVES US WITH A 2 CARBON UNIT
makes acetyle CoA

Q

TCA cycle
where does it occur and with what molecule, how many cycles

how much does 1 Acetyle CoA produce? what is the NET

A

pyruvate loses an H and CO2 and is now Acetyle CoA

goes into Citric Acid Cycle, happens in the open space of the mitochondria
final breakdown of the molecule
2 cycles

!!!! 6-2-2. !!!!!

3 NADH
1 ATP
1 FADH2
get rid of O2 and CO2

Q

Electron Transport Chain

enzyme

Oxidative phosphorolation

how much ATP can one NADH and one FADH2 make

A

Form ATP and requires oxygen
as harvesting hydrogen, O2 is used to make water at the end

Transfer energy from NADH and FADH2

NADH and FADH2 are delivered to the inner mitochondrial membrane. cytochrome proteins, hydrogen pumps allow them to pass inside

dump OFF hydrogens and create hydrogen gradient, hydrogen then wants to come in, thru ATP synthase, take phosphate

as transporting electrons thru proteins thats the ETC and when they harvest their energy

WATER is a waste

NADH dumps off the H and it moves thru 3 cytochromes, pumping out 3 hydrogens to outside space
when H comes back in it has the ability to make 3 ATP

NADH can produce 3 ATP
FADH2 can produce 2 ATP

Q

Control of cellular respiration

A

negative feedback ALLOSTERIC CONTROL
each phase makes ATP

when ATP levels get high, turn off PHOSPHOFRUCTOKINASE

Q

ATP synthase

optimum number of ATP produced from one glucose

A

because of the concentration gradient, Hydrogen wants to come in, which powers the rotor system and allows for phosphate to be put on ADP

Protein molecule makes ATP

H+ gradient Drives ATP synthase

36 to 38

Q

glucose

ATp yield and oxygen

FIRST CHOICE?

A

1 Glucose molecule yields 38 ATP

Oxygen required for full aerobic process
* Anaerobic (glycolysis) – only yields 2 ATP

Uses about 40% of energy stored in glucose
Rest is lost as heat

First choice for fuels – quick to break down

Q

Lactic Acid Formation

when no O2 is available

reversible?

A

Reversible

need O2 at the end of ETC to make water
do not want to go into mitochondria, bc the prep step is irreversible

if no O2 is available, turn pyruvic acid into Lactic acid. Low yield, lactic acid buildup so glycolysis doesn’t stop

hide pyruvate, so need it going forward to keep making ATP to make lactic acid, keep glycolysis going

O2 availability turns lactic acid back into pyruvate

Q

other energy stores

WHERE

A

GFP
Glycogen (storage form of glucose)- Can quickly convert to glucose. 1% of total energy reserves. QUICK
- liver

Fats: 78% of total energy reserves
Triglycerides have twice the energy of carbohydrates
- liver

Proteins: 21% of total energy reserves
Have the same amount of energy as carbohydrates
* But require energy for processing
