test 1: ch5 Flashcards
sum of all chemical reactions in the body = all reactions in the body involving energy transformations
metabolism
reactions that break large molecules into smaller ones = release energy
catabolism
reactions that build larger molecules from smaller ones = require energy input
anabolism
biomolecule preferred by main body tissues as fuel
glucose
true or false: the brain solely uses glucose as its energy source (may use ketone bodies during starvation)
true
glucose is stored in the liver and skeletal muscle as _________
glycogen
true or false: glycogen can be broken down to form glucose again
true
glucose -> glycogen is called ___________; it is an anabolic process and occurs vie dehydration synthesis
glycogenesis
glycogen -> glucose is called ___________; it is a catabolic process and occurs via hydrolysis
glycogenolysis
when glucose is formed from non-carbohydrate precursors like amino acids, fatty acids, and pyruvic acid, it is known as…
gluconeogenesis
complete catabolism is _______ = oxygen is the final electron receptor
aerobic
breakdown of one 6-carbon glucose molecule to two 3-carbon pyruvic acid molecules
glycolysis
_________ muscle is more adapted to anaerobic metabolism than other muscle types
skeletal
______ blood cells solely rely on anaerobic metabolism because they don’t want to use the oxygen they are transporting
red blood cells
glycolysis occurs in the _______ of the cell
cytosol
the net yield of glycolysis is:
2 ATP and 2 NADH
when no oxygen is available during glycolysis, pyruvic acid molecules are converted to _____ ______
lactic acid
lactic acid can be converted by two pyruvic acid in the liver in the _____ cycle
Cori cycle
when oxygen is available during glycolysis, the pyruvic acid enters the mitochondria and is converted to acetyl-CoA and yields 2 NADH
intermediate step
cycle that occurs in mitochondria, is aerobic, and yields 2 ATP, 6 NADH, and 2 FADH2
Kreb’s cycle or citric acid (TCA)
series of oxidation-reduction reactions in the cristae of the mitochondria
electron transport chain
true or false: in the electron transport chain, oxygen is the final electron receptor and ATP is produced
true
the actual ATP yield from complete catabolism of 1 glucose molecule:
30-32
the theoretical ATP yield from complete catabolism of 1 glucose molecule:
36-38
