A
  • is the synthesis of new organic molecules

* an “uphill” process that forms new chemical bonds

Q

What are the four steps of cellular metabolism

A
  • Metabolic turnover
  • growth and cell division
  • special processes, such as secretion, contraction, and propagation of action potentials
  • store nutrient reserves( for starvation)

Q

What are carbohydrates (Glucose)

Q

What are proteins

A
  • most abundant organic component in body; most often we synthesize new proteins be perform many vital function
  • proteins are rarely broken down

Q

If fatty acids are anabolized what are they converted to

A

Triglycerides

17
Q

Is glucose is anabolized what is it coverted to

18
Q

If amino acids are anabolized what are they converted to

19
Q

What is metabolism

A

Refers to the sum of all chemical reactions in the body and includes both catabolism and anabolism

20
Q

What does carbohydrate metabolism include

A
  • Generates ATP and other high-energy compounds
  • begins with glycolysis which yeilds 2 pyruvates
  • Most ATPs are made in the final process, the electron transport system
21
Q

What is glycolysis

A

Multistep process to break glucose down into 2 pyruvate molecules

22
Q

Complete metabolism of one glucose molecule yeilds how many ATPs

23
Q

What does steps 1 and 2 of glycolysis cost

A

Cost the cell 2 ATP

24
Q

How many step process is gycolysis

A

7 step process to break glucose down into 2 pyruvate molecules

25
What does step 7 of glycolysis produce
2 ATP molecules
26
Where is most ATP made in?
Electron transport system
27
What happens after glycolysis
Citric acid cycle
28
What is the citric acid cycle
The 2 pyruvates made from glucose now run the citric acid cycle. From 2 turns of the citric acid cycle we get 2 more ATPs, 8 NADH, and 2 FADH. The NADH and FADHs will run the Electron transport system and make us more ATPs
29
What is oxidative phosphorylation and the electron transport system
* utilizes carrier proteins and hydrogen gradients * generates ATP from NADH and FADH * requires coenzymes and oxygen * produces more than 90% of ATP used by body * ETS happens in the mitochondria
30
Where is hydrogen pulled from
NADH AND FADH molecules
31
For every 6 H pumped across the mitochondria what happens to ATP
3 ATPs are yeilded
32
What is the total yield from citric acid to ETS
28 ATP
33
What does NADHs produce
3 ATP + 1 H2O
34
What does FADHs produce
2 ATP + 1 H2O
35
summarize ATP production
``` For one glucose molecule processed, cell gains 36 molecule of ATP •2 from glycolysis •4 from NADH generated in glycolysis •2 from citric acid cycle •28 from ETS ```
