Unit 4 Flashcards
Catabolism
Energy rich molecules + ADP ⇒ energy depleted molecules + ATP
Anabolism
Small simple molecules → large complex molecules
Need ATP
Hormones
Small molecules or proteins that connect all the organs in the body
Carry info and signals between central nervous system and tissues
Signal transduction
Ligand bind to specific receptor
Result in change in the cell
Change in enzyme activity turns pathways on/off (response)
Glucagon
Protein
Released from pancreas
In response to low blood glucose
Glucagon receptors
Liver: release of glucose, increase blood glucose
Fat: release FA (ATP)
Epinepherine
Small molecule
Released from kidney
In response to stress or exercise
Epinephrine receptors
Liver: release glucose
Fat: release FA
Muscle: use FA and glucose to do work
Insulin
Protein
Released from pancreas
Response to high blood glucose
Insulin receptors
Fat: uptake glucose, lower blood glucose
Muscle: uptake glucose, lower blood glucose
Liver: metabolize glucose, store glucose
Leptin
Protein
Release from fat cells after a meal
Suppresses appetite
Alpha carbon
OH at C1 below plane
Beta carbon
OH at C1 above plane
Starch bonds
Alpha 1,4 bonds
Branches = alpha 1,6
Form compact hollow cylinders
Cellulose bonds
Beta 1,4 bonds
Straight chain
Exclude water
Tightly packed
Sucrose
Glucose + fructose
Alpha 1 beta 2 bond
Non Reducing
Lactose
Galactose + glucose
Beta 1,4 linkage
Reducing
Maltose
Glucose x 2
Alpha 1,3 linkage
Reducing
Glucagon pathways
Glycogen breakdown (release glucose)
Gluconeogenesis (produce glucose)
Ketogenesis (produce glucose)
Lipolysis (FA release, glycerol release)
Kinase
Transfer of phosphoryl group from ATP to acceptor
Phosphorylase
Phosphorolysis
Phosphate is the attacking species
Like hydrolysis
Add Phosphate across bond
Phosphatase
Remove phosphate group
Pathways: Fed
Glycogenesis
Glycolysis
FA Synthesis
Cholesterol Synthesis
PPP
Glycogenesis Purpose + Location
Liver/muscle
Storage form of glucose
