Respiration Biochem Flashcards
First molecule in the Citric Acid Cycle
Citrate
Formed from dehydration of Citrate in CAC
Isocitrate
Formed from oxidation and decarboxylation of Isocitrate in CAC
alpha-ketoglutarate
Formed from oxidation and decarboxylation of alpha-ketoglutarate in CAC
Succinyl CoA
Formed after Succinyl CoA phosphorylates GDP to GTP in CAC
Succinate
Formed after FAD oxidizes Succinate in CAC
Fumarate
Formed by hydrolysis of Fumarate in CAC
Malate
Formed by oxidation of Malate in CAC
Oxaloacetate
Substrate that reacts with Acetyl CoA in CAC
Oxaloacetate
Oxidized, decarboxylized, and reacted with Coenzyme A to form acetyl coA
Pyruvate
Formed from phosphorylation of Glucose in Glycolysis
Glucose-6-phosphate
Phosphoglucoisomerase forms this from glucose-6-phosphate in Glycolysis
Fructose-6-phosphate
Phosphofructokinase forms this from phosphorylating fructose-6-phosphate in Glycolysis
Fructose-1,6-bisphosphate
Aldolase forms both of these from cleaving Fructose-1,6-bisphosphate in Glycolysis
Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate and Dihydroxyacetone phosphate
Taken up in first step of energy payoff phase in Glycolysis
Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate
