quiz 6 Flashcards
what is the citric acid cycle
the central pathway of metabolism
what are the 3 fates of pyruvate
fatty acid synthesis
lactate
citric acid cycle
where does the citric acid cycle occur
mitochondria
is the citric acid cycle aerobic or anaerobic
aerobic
what are the two regulations for the cac? describe them
pyruvate dehydrogenase- activated by insulin
isocitrate dehydrogenase- inhibited by increased NADH+H+ and NAD
how many ATP are created in the citric acid cycle
10 ATP
how many ATP are created with 2 pyruvate
25 ATP
how much ATP is created from the complete oxidation of 1 glucose
32 ATP
how many membranes does the mitocondria have?
2
what does the inner membrane control
what can enter and leave
define inter membrane space
space between the inner and outer membrane
define matrix
center of mitochondria and location of metabolic pathways
what is electron transport used for
synthesizing H2O
what happens as electrons pass through
H+ are pumped from the matrix to create a protein gradient in inter membrane space
define oxidative phosphorylation
synthesis of ATP
how much H does oxidative phosphorylation need
4 H
describe NADH+H+ ATP synthesis. how much is produced
e- transport results in release of 10H into inter membrane space
10 added/4 used= 2.5 ATP
what does oxidative phosphorylation cause
ATP synthase starts spinning
