WK 2 - metab Flashcards
The sum of all chemical reations within a living organism. It
is called an energy balancing act because it is a
combination of Catabolism and Anabolism
MICROBIAL METABOLISM
hemical reactions in which electrons
are gained, lost or shared in a chemical reaction
REDOX REACTION
the loss of electrons by a molecule, atom or ion
OXIDATION
the gain of electrons by a molecule, atom or an
ion
REDUCTION
Special molecules that cells use to carry electrons (often in
H atoms)
NADH AND FADH
Two important carriers (energy)
NADH and FADH
BASIC METABOLIC REACTION
- Exergonic β produce more energy than they can consume
- Endergonic β consume more energy than they can
produce
Phase where the simple substances are synthesized to
complex materials which makes up the living tissue
ANABOLISM
Involves dehydration synthesis
ANABOLISM
Phase where there is a breakdown of complex molecules
into simple material, with the resulting occurrence of
release of energy
catabolism
- Organisms catabolize carbohydrates as the primary energy
source for anabolic reactions via
cellular respiration
- The process of converting nutrients into ATP.
cellular respiration
- Molecules are being oxidize and the final electron acceptor
will be in the form of inorganic molecule or oxygen
cellular respiraiton
Results in complete breakdown of glucose to carbon
dioxide, water and a lot of ATP
Aerobic Cellular Respiration
4 steps are involved of aerobic cellular respiration
o Glycolysis
o Synthesis of acetyl-COA
o Krebs cycle
o Electron transport chain
glycolysis is based on
Embden-Meyerhof-Parnas Pathway
2 stages of glycolysis
o Energy investing stage
βͺ Needs 2 ATP to breakdown the glucose
into Glu-6-P down to Fru-1,6-bP
o Energy conserving stage
βͺ From Fru-1,6-bP, it will produce DHAP
and GAP, and they will produce 2 Pyruvic
acid (1 each)
βͺ It will produce 4 ATP and 2 NADH
net gain of glycolysis
Net Gain: 2 NADH and 2 ATP (4-2 kase 2 yung ginamit na
ATP sa 1st stage)
where does glycolysis take place in
cytoplasm
produces important intermediate pentoses used in the
synthesis of nucleic acids, glucose from carbon dioxide in
photosynthesis and certain amino acids.
pentose phosphate pathway
net gain of pentose phosphate pathway
Yields a net gain of only 1 ATP plus 12 NADPH for each
molecule of glucose oxidized
net gain of entner- duodoroff pathway
- Produces 2 NADPH and 1 ATP for each molecule of glucose
- Bacteria that have enzymes for this pathway can metabolize
glucose without either glycolysis or the PPP - Found in some gram-negative bacteria and none in gram
positive bacteria
entner-duodoroff pathway
