Postlab quiz 9 Flashcards
anabolism =
synthesis of larger molecules from smaller molecules
requires energy
endergonic
catabolism
breakdown of larger molecules into smaller molecules
releases energy
exergonic
Energy is gained form, and stored in this form
ATP
Adenosine triphospate
Two types of cellular respiration
anaerobic respiration (does not require oxygen) aerobic respiration (requires oxygen)
Another word for anaerobic respiration
glycolysis
T/F: aerobic respiration is considered the primitive type of respiration
F, anaerobic
Formula for glycolysis
glucose -> 2 pyruvic acid + electron carriers
In aerobic respiration pyruvic acid is converted into (full pathway)
acetyl CoA -> citric acid + electron carriers
Citric acid enters into this cycle
krebs cycle
All electron carriers enter this chain
electron transport chain
This combines with acetyl CoA to from this in the krebs cycle
Oxaloacetic acid
citric acid
These are formed during the krebs cycle (energy)
3 NADH
1 ATP
1 FADH2
In the electron transport chain these are pumped into this space
hydrogen ions
intermembrane space
This is needed to activate the hydrogen pumps
electron carriers
These are imbedded in the inner membrane of the mitochondria and assist in the electron transport chain
enzyme systems
As electrons move from one enzyme system to the next this occurs
hydrogen ions are pumped into the intermembrane space
These two things are used to produce ATP in the electron transport chain
High H+ concentration ATP Synthase (ADP + Pi = ATP)
This much ATP is produced through aerobic respiration
30
This many ATP are produce by the krebs cycle and glycolysis
4
This many ATP are produce by the electron transport chain
26
Acetyl CoA can be converted into this four things
Citric acid (krebs cycle)
fatty acids
ketone bodies
cholesterol
Energy source preference: brain
glucose
Energy source preference: skeletal muscles (resting)
Fatty acids
Energy source preference: liver
fatty acids
Energy source preference: Heart
fatty acids
Insulin facilitates this
uptake of glucose into cells from the blood
Insulin increase does this
reduces blood sugar levels
increases uptake of glucose into cells
Two types of cells in the pancreatic islets
alpha cells
beta cells
Beta cells produce this
insulin
alpha cells produce this
glucagon
Insulin surge happens at this time
just after eating
Starving in terms of physiology occurs at this time
approx 4 hours after eating
Glucagon surge happens at this time
starvation
When blood glucose levels go down this occurs
alpha cells secrete more glucagon (reduced insulin secretion)reduces cellualar uptake of glucose
increases glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis
blood glucose levels increase
glycogenolysis
glycogen is broken down and glucose is released into the blood
gluconeogenesis
conversion of non-carbohydrates into glucose
Both insulin and glucagon have this effect on blood glucose
negative
How is insulin secreted
Stimulus: increase in blood glucose GLUT4 receptor (on beta cell) allows glucose into the cell Leads to insulin being released into the blood
You are considered diabetic if you have a blood glucose level above this about 2 hours after eating
200 mg/dl
Review blood glucose/ plasma insulin slide from the podcast
…
When plasma insulin levels do not increase after a meal the person is said to have this type of diabetes
Type 1
Metabolism as he relates to glucose after absorption of a meal
Glucose (+)
Insulin (+),
glucagon (-)
Insulin/glucagon ratio (+)
anabolic formation of glycogen, fat, and protein
Blood glucose, amino acids, fatty acids, and ketone bodies (-)
Metabolism as it relates to glucose after fasting
glucose (-)
insulin (-) glucagon (+)
insulin/glucagon ratio (-)
catabolic hydrolysis of glycogen, fat, and protein + gluconeogenesis and ketogenesis
Blood glucose, amino acids fatty acids, and ketone bodies (+)
Type 1 diabetes is caused by the reduction of this, is this type of disease
beta cells
auto-immune
type 1 diabetes: age of onset, development of symptoms, percent of diabetic population, development of ketoacidosis, associating with obesity, beta cells of islets, insulin secretion, autoantibodies to islet cells, associated with particular MHC antigens, treatment
under 20 rapid about 10% common rare destroyed decreased present yes insulin injections
Type 2 diabetes: age of onset, development of symptoms, percent of diabetic population, development of ketoacidosis, associating with obesity, beta cells of islets, insulin secretion, autoantibodies to islet cells, associated with particular MHC antigens, treatment
over 40 slow about 90% rare common not destroyed normal or increased absen unclear diet and exercise or oral stimulators of insulin sensitivity
Review glucose and insulin graphs towards end of post cast
…
the most severe type 2 diabetics may need this
insulin
What do me measure to determine the resting metabolic rate of a human (indirect)
O2 consumption
PKU stands for
Phenylketonuria
What is phenylketonuria
Autosomal recessive genetic disorder characterized by the inability to convert phenylalanine into tyrosine
T/F: PKU is a food allergy
F
What happens to ingested phenylalanine in someone with PKU
it stays in the body and accumulates over time
Causes of PKU
Insufficient amounts of hepatic phenylalanine hydroxylaxe (PAH) results in high accumulations of phenylalanine in the body
Phenylalanine accumulations are very damaging to these
neurons, and cause irreversible damage to the brain
Signs and symptoms of PKU
Intellectual disability/delayed development
psychological problems (social behavior, emotional)
psychiatric disorders
neurological disorders
musty odor as a side effect of excess phenylalanine in the body
What is the time frame for newborns in the US to take a PKU screeening, and where is the blood drawn from
24-72 hours after birth, blood is drawn via heel
Phenylalanine is found here
meat cheese milk aspartame (artificial sweetener, should be avoided) (high protein foods)
PKU positive individuals consume this
a diet with no to little phenylalanine
What is done for PKU positive individuals to get proper protein intake
special protein formulas are common
Children born with PKU (blank in blank)
1 in 15000
Prognosis of PKU
normal life if caught early and diet is free of phenylalanine
How does PKU affect pregnancy
pregnant women with PKU have increased risk of miscarriage
babies of mothers with PKU may experience developmental problems
Relationship between surface area and volume and how it relates to metabolism
Higher metabolism = (higher surface area:volume)
Lower metabolism = (lower surface area:volume)
