Q

What is needed to start the process of glycolysis?

A

2 ATP

23
Q

What happens in the mitochondria?

A
  1. Acetyl CoA formation AND Krebs cycle
    small ATP yield
    pyruvic acid → CO2
    get more coenzymes!!
  2. ETC
    Big ATP payoff
    Coenzymes donate (H+) and (e-) to do the work and allow a ton of ATP to be made.
24
Q

Build relationship between:

Catabolic and Anabolic

A
  1. Catabolism, at its core, involves breaking down of complex molecules and releasing energy for the body to use.
  2. The anabolic process is the complete opposite of catabolism as it involves creating bigger, complex molecules from smaller, simpler molecules. These are usually stored by the body for future use.
25
Q

Build relationship between:

Exergonic and Endergonic

A
  1. Exergonic gives off energy - used to fuel endergonic reactions that cost energy

ATP is the molecule whose burst of energy is used to couple an exergonic reaction to power an endergonic reaction in energy coupling. ATP coupling provides that endergonic reaction with the potential to manifest now.

26
Q

Build relationship between:

Kinetic energy and Potential energy

A

Water behind a dam is potential energy

Hole in dam turns potential energy into kinetic energy.

The primary relationship between the two is their ability to transform into each other. In other words, potential energy transforms into kinetic energy, and kinetic energy converts into potential energy, and then back again. It’s a never-ending cycle.

27
Q

What are the 3 big phases of cell respiration and where does each occur?

A
  1. Glycolysis / anaerobic metabolism - cytoplasm
  2. Krebs Cycle - mitochondrial matrix
  3. ETC - mitochondrial membrane

Q

What is needed to begin glycolysis / anabolic metabolism?

A

2 ATP

Q

What is the end product of glycolysis?

A

34
Q

How many Krebs cycle are needed to process one glucose molecule?

A

Two cycles

one cycle for each pyruvate = 2 cycles

35
Q

Electronegativity –

A

measure of a substance to pull electrons towards itself

Highly electronegative pull electrons towards themselves

Not highly electronegative - do not have an attraction for electrons

36
Q

What is the protein that is in the ETC?

A

Cytochromes

37
Q

What do cytochromes contain?

A

Iron

38
Q

How are cytochromes organized in the membrane of the mitochondria?

A

In descending order according to its tendency to attract electrons

39
Q

Who has hydrogens and electrons to donate in the electron transport chain?

A

FADH2 & NADH

coenzymes that are going to donate electrons to the cytochromes

40
Q

What are varying in their electrical characteristics to attract electrons from FADH2 & NADH?

A

Cytochromes

41
Q

What happens when the electrons pass the protein - cytochrome?

A
  1. Energy is released and is used for the active transport of (H+) against its gradient from low to high.
  2. To increase the (H+) concentration in between the two mitochondrial membranes.
  3. which eventually drives the process of ATP synthesis
42
Q

What is the protein transporter that acts as an enzyme and builds ATP in the ETC?

A

ATP Synthase

43
Q

How does ATP synthase work?

A
  1. It is fueled by (H+) that diffuses through the ATP Synthase
  2. Causing the molecular motor to spin
  3. As it spins, it grabs onto an ADP and a Phosphate ion
  4. Puts them together
  5. and Creates ATP
44
Q

How much ATP can be made by the ATP synthase in the ETC?

A

30-32 ATP

45
Q

What is the problem that you create after ATP synthase creates ATP?

A

Have a lot of electrons and hydrogens floating around

46
Q

How can you fix the problem that is created by the production of ATP in the ETC by the ATP synthase?

A

Electrons and Hydrogen+ are transferred and bind to O2 to produce WATER - H2O

47
Q

What can permanently bind to terminal cytochrome?

A

Cyanide

Fatal

48
Q

What is the benefit of lactic acid fermentation?

A

The ability to keep going with glycolysis

What does the lactic acid do in the cell or bloodstream?

A

alters pH

50
Q

How does the lactic acid get out of cells?

A

diffuses out

51
Q

Where does lactic acid go to get processed?

A

Liver

52
Q

What does the liver do with lactic acid?

A
  1. Converts lactic acid back to pyruvate and glucose - which will require energy to do
  2. Oxygen debt in the liver
53
Q

Basal metabolic rate

A

I am alive but not doing anything

  1. As SA to volume ratio increases, BMR increases
  2. Decreases with AGE
  3. Increases with temperature & Stress
  4. Males disproportionately high BMR
  5. Thyoxine increases O2 consumption, cell respiration, & BMR
54
Q

Total Metabolic Rate

A

How we behave - All additional activities/work

  1. Rate of Kilocare consumption to fuel all ongoing activities
  2. Increases with skeletal muscle activity and food digestion
