Week 2 Flashcards
Is the phosphate in the phospholipid bilayer heads organic or inorganic?
Organic
Name two interchangeable nitrogenous bases for mono- di- or triphosphates
Adenosine and guanosine
Is the phosphate that is used to make ATP organic or inorganic?
Inorganic
A wavy line ~ designates
A high energy, usually refers to a high energy phosphate
~PO4
Define phosphorylation
Addition of a high energy phosphate group, usually associated with activation of the substance
What enzyme is required for phosphorylation?
Kinase
Define DEphosphorylation
removal of a high energy phosphate group, usually associated with DEactivation of the substance
What enzyme is required for DEphosphorylation?
Phosphatase
A “valence of 1+” indicates that an ion has _
A positive charge of one plus, it has lost one electron
If an atom or molecule is “reduced” it means that atom or molecule has a more __ charge, in other words it has __ electrons which are negatively charged.
Negative
Gained
If an atom or molecule is “oxidized” it means that atom or molecule has a more __ charge, in other words it has __ electrons which are negatively charged.
Positive
Lost
Redox (reduction / oxidation) reactions are always __, one molecule loses electrons and another gains them. Electrons cannot just be thrown away, they only move from one molecule to another.
Coupled
Redox reactions may be the transfer of hydrogen atoms rather than electrons. The loss of either an electron or a hydrogen atom is called __, the gain of electrons or hydrogen atoms is called __
(Think of the charge, will it be more positive-oxidation OR more negative-reduction?)
Oxidation
Reduction
If Fe+++ changed to Fe++, was it reduced or oxidized? In other words, did the net charge increase or “reduce”? TEST QUESTION
Reduced
If Cu++ changed to Cu+++, was it reduced or oxidized? In other words, did the net charge increase or “reduce”? TEST QUESTION
Oxidized
If you add two hydrogen molecules to pyruvic acid to make lactic acid, was it reduced or oxidized? In other words, did the net charge increase or “reduce”? TEST QUESTION
Reduced, adding hydrogen is the same as adding electrons
If you REMOVE two hydrogen molecules from NADH+H to make NAD, was it reduced or oxidized? In other words, did the net charge increase or “reduce”? TEST QUESTION
Oxidized, removing hydrogen is the same as removing electrons, it becomes less negative
If you add two hydrogen molecules to FAD to make FADH2, was it reduced or oxidized? In other words, did the net charge increase or “reduce”? TEST QUESTION
Reduced, adding hydrogen is the same as adding electrons, the net charge is “reduced” (more negative)
NAD can accept __ electrons but only __ proton, thus in the reduced state there is a leftover hydrogen+ ion
TEST QUESTION
Two electrons
One proton
FAD can accept __ electrons and __ protons unlike NAD
Two
Two
Each NADH will yield __ ATP in the electron transport chain
“N” has three lines
Three
Each FADH will yield __ ATP in the electron transport chain
“F” has two arms
Two
Two molecules with the same chemical formula but different structural formula are called __
Ex. Glucose and fructose
Isomers
Two isomers that are mirror images of each other are called __
Stereoisomers - sremosioeretS
Thanks McCarver for the mental image
Be able to recognize the chemical structure for glucose for test
C6 H12 O6
The net outcome of glycolysis is __ ATP and __ NADH

In anaerobic metabolism, how do the two molecules of pyruvic acid become reduced to two molecules of lactic acid?
The two NADH formed during glycolysis donate their hydrogen molecules which “reduce” the overall charge of pyruvic to lactic
What enzyme is capable of converting pyruvic acid to lactic acid and vice versa?
What is required for this conversion?
Lactate dehydrogenase
NADH must donate H
How can lactic acid be converted into pyruvic acid and then into glucose?
What is the byproduct?
In the liver via the Cori cycle using lactate dehydrogenase.
HCO3 bicarb is the byproduct
How might lactated ringers benefit your patient? How might it harm your patient?
If healthy liver and good perfusion, lactate can be converted to glucose via cori cycle and have byproduct of bicarb to offset acidosis.
If bad liver or poor perfusion, can lead to acidosis from dysfunctional cori cycle.
In glycolysis, how do you convert glucose into glucose-6-phosphate?
Break an ATP into ADP and add the phosphate group to the number 6 carbon on the glucose
In glycolysis, after you have rearranged glucose-6-phosphate into fructose-6-phosphate, how do you make fructose-1-6-BIphosphate?
Break another ATP down to ADP and add the phosphate to the #1 carbon on fructose-6-phosphate to make fructose-1-6-BIphosphate.
In glycolysis, after the one molecule of fructose-1-6-BIphosphate is converted to TWO molecules of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate, what is reduced to make TWO molecules of 1,3-BPG
2 NAD+ are reduced to 2 NADH, which will eventually donate hydrogen ions in the electron transport chain
REALLY IMPORTANT- red blood cells have some special enzymes that converts 1,3-BPG to 2,3-BPG. So what?
Regulates oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve, regulates binding and release of oxygen from hemoglobin
In glycolysis, the FIRST ACTUAL ATP synthesis is when two molecules of 1,3-BPG dephosphorylate into two molecules of 3-phosphoglyceric acid, donating their phosphates to make 2 ADP into 2 ATP
FIRST ACTUAL ATP synthesis
In glycolysis, two molecules of 2-phosphoglyceric acid convert to two molecules of phosphoenolpyruvic acid, which then dephosphorylate into two molecules of pyruvic acid, donating two phosphates to two ADP to make two ATP
Second set of ATP formed in hydrolysis.
Each molecule of pyruvic acid becomes _ acetyl coA, and _ NADH is formed, each acetyl coA turns the Krebs cycle _ time

You only need to remember the first and last acid in the citric acid cycle, the first one is __ acid, the last one is __ acid
Citric
Oxaloacetic
