reaction 6 glycolysis
Oxidation & Phosphorylation
The enzyme triose phosphate dehydrogenase serves two functions in this step. First the enzyme transfers a hydrogen atom from glyceraldehyde phosphate to nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+), which is the oxidizing agent, to form NADH. Next triose phosphate dehydrogenase adds a phosphate (P) from the cytosol to the oxidized glyceraldehyde phosphate to form 1, 3-bisphosphoglycerate. This occurs for both glyceraldehyde phosphate molecules, produced in step 5.
A. Triose phosphate dehydrogenase + 2 H- + 2 NAD+ → 2 NADH + 2 H+

reaction 6 oxidation and phosphorylation
rn 7 glycolysis
phosphate transfer
1,3 bisphosphoglycerate is converted to 3-phosphoglycerate by the enzyme phosphoglycerate kinase (PGK).
This reaction involves the loss of a phosphate group from the starting material. The phosphate is transferred to a molecule of ADP that yields our first molecule of ATP. Since we actually have two molecules of 1,3 bisphosphoglycerate (because there were two 3-carbon products from stage 1 of glycolysis), we actually synthesize two molecules of ATP at this step. With this synthesis of ATP, we have cancelled the first two molecules of ATP that we used, leaving us with a net of 0 ATP molecules up to this stage of glycolysis.
2 molecules of 1,3-bisphoshoglycerate (C3H4O4P2) + phosphoglycerokinase + 2 ADP → 2 molecules of 3-phosphoglycerate (C3H5O4P1) + 2 ATP
is an example of
rrn 7 phosphate ransfer
rn 8 glycolysis is
isomerization
a simple rearrangement of the position of the phosphate group on the 3 phosphoglycerate molecule, making it 2 phosphoglycerate.
The molecule responsible for catalyzing this reaction is called phosphoglycerate mutase (PGM).
The reaction mechanism proceeds by first adding an additional phosphate group to the 2′ position of the 3 phosphoglycerate. The enzyme then removes the phosphate from the 3′ position leaving just the 2′ phosphate, and thus yielding 2 phosphoglycerate. In this way, the enzyme is also restored to its original, phosphorylated state.
a mutase is
A mutase is an enzyme that catalyzes the transfer of a functional group from one position on a molecule to another.

reaction 1 krebs cycle
Formation of Citrate
The first reaction of the citric acid cycle is catalyzed by the enzyme citrate synthase. In this step, oxaloacetate is joined with acetyl-CoA to form citrate, a tertiary alcohol. Once the two molecules are joined, a water molecule attacks the acetyl leading to the release of coenzyme A from the complex.
reaction 2 krebs cycle
Isomerization The next reaction of the citric acid cycle is catalyzed by the enzyme aconitase. In this reaction, a water molecule is removed from the citric acid and then put back on in another location.(dehydration followed by hydration) This transformation yields the molecule isocitrate, a secondary alcohol.
reaction 3 krebs cycle
Oxidation & Decarboxylation Two events occur in reaction 3 of the citric acid cycle. In the first reaction, we see our first generation of NADH from NAD. The enzyme isocitrate dehydrogenase catalyzes the oxidation of the –OH group at the 4’ position of isocitrate to yield an intermediate which then has a carbon dioxide molecule removed from it to yield alpha-ketoglutarate.
rn 4 krebs cycle
Decarboxylation & Oxidation
Alpha-ketoglutarate loses a carbon dioxide molecule and coenzyme A is added in its place. The decarboxylation occurs with the help of NAD, which is converted to NADH. The enzyme that catalyzes this reaction is alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase. The resulting molecule is called succinyl-CoA.
step 5 krebs cycle
hydrolysis
The enzyme succinyl-CoA synthetase catalyzes the fifth reaction of the citric acid cycle. In this step a molecule of guanosine triphosphate (GTP) is synthesized. GTP synthesis occurs with the addition of a free phosphate group to a GDP molecule (similar to ATP synthesis from ADP). In this reaction, a free phosphate group first attacks the succinyl-CoA molecule releasing the CoA. After the phosphate is attached to the molecule, it is transferred to the GDP to form GTP. The resulting product is the molecule succinate.
GTP is
GTP is a molecule that is very similar in its structure and energetic properties to ATP and can be used in cells in much the same way.
step 6 krebs cycle
oxidation
The enzyme succinate dehydrogenase catalyzes the removal of two hydrogens from succinate in the sixth reaction of the citric acid cycle. In the reaction, a molecule of FAD, a coenzyme similar to NAD, is reduced to FADH2 as it takes the hydrogens from succinate. The product of this reaction is fumarate. FAD, like NAD, is the oxidized form while FADH2 is the reduced form. FAD oxidizes carbon-carbon double and triple bonds while NAD oxidizes mostly carbon-oxygen bonds.
rn 7 krebs cycle
hydration
Water is added to fumarate during step seven, and L-malate is produced. Catalyst used is fumarase.
reaction 8 krebs cycle
Oxidation
In the final reaction of the citric acid cycle, we regenerate oxaloacetate by oxidizing L–malate with a molecule of NAD to produce NADH. The catalyst used is malate dehydrogenase.
basis of krebs cycle
1) acetyl-CoA, is oxidized to two molecules of carbon dioxide.
2) Three molecules of NAD were reduced to NADH.
3) One molecule of FAD was reduced to FADH2.
4) One molecule of GTP (the equivalent of ATP) was produced.

Oxidative-phosphorylation is the use of
electrons falling from the hydrogen in glucose to the oxygen in a living cell.
What provide the energy necessary to pump H+ ions
falling electrons
When these H+ ions fall back, this energy is used to
attach a phosphate group (phosphorylate) to ADP to make the high energy molecule ATP, which the cell can now use again to do vital work.
Digestion is
catabolic process where large molecules are converted into smaller ones.
How are carbs digested

the liver
Body fat is the major source of
stored energy
. Digestion of fats begin in the
small intestine
Bile salts with both hydrophilic and hydrophobic regions are secreted from
gall bladder into small intestine. These interact with both hydrophobic fat and aqueous solution (hydrophilic) in small intestine.
emulsification
Bile break fat into smaller droplets called micelles
Pancreatic lipases from pancreas, hydrolyze
triacylglycerols into monoacylglycerols and fatty acids.
Most of the energy stored in the human body is in the form of
triacylglycerols
They recombine within the intestinal wall to form triacylglycerol back which when coated with protein and phospholipids, form
chylomicrons.
Are chylomicrons polar or nonpolar
This is polar which makes it soluble in bloodstream.
Lipase hydrolyze triacylglycerol to
glycerol and fatty acids
Fatty acid is further oxidized to
acetyl CoA for ATP synthesis
Digestion of protein begins in the
stomach
how does digestion of protein begin
It begins with the hydrolysis of peptide bonds in the denatured protein which reached the stomach
how is protein digested
is made possible by the enzyme, pepsin. The polypeptides enter small intestine, where pH is about 7-8. Thus pepsin is inactivated, due to the lower pH value. (pepsin acts at pH 1-2).
Proteases
break the polypeptides to amino acids and dipeptides. Through active transport along the small intestine lining, the amino acids are absorbed into the bloodstream.
