Q

What does metabolism impact

A
  • impacts the health and functions of a cell and the mitochondria
  • directly and often affects the Endocrine system (diabetes, Chronic fatigue, inherited causes)

Q

What is cellular respiration

A
  • a series or pathway of chemical reactions that convert potential chemical energy into usable chemical energy (ATP)
  • relies on oxygen and glucose
  • glucose is prefered but proteins and lipids can also be used

Q

What is the anabolic reaction

16
Q

What is the adenosine triphosphate

A

energy is stored in the bonds between the phosphate group

17
Q

What is ATP made up of and used for

A
  • ribose
  • adenosine
  • 3 phosphate groups

used for a source of energy by living cells

18
Q

How do the terminal phosphate groups break off

A

energy that is released from the ATP

19
Q

How does ATP store energy

A
  • each negative phosphate group is hard to add in the chain of phosphate links
  • there is stored energy between every link
  • The most energy is stored in Phosphate 3 and it is also the most difficult to keep bonded to a molecule
  • the bonding of negative phosphate groups is unstable therefore they pop off easily and release energy
  • this makes ATP great energy donors
20
Q

How does ATP transfer energy

A
  • by de-phosphorylating or dumping of the 3rd phosphate group. It releases energy and can fuel other reactions
21
Q

What is de-phosporylation

A

released phosphate can transfer to other molecules. this can destabilize the molecule due to the EN
- an enzyme that phosphorylates is kinase

22
Q

Explain the ATP/ADP cycle

A
  • dose not store ATP
  • transfers phosphate easily
  • Only short term energy storage
23
Q

How is ATP produced

A
  • phosphorylation - adding phosphate groups
  • ADP can phosphorylate from ATP
24
Q

Explain the substrate-level phosphorylation

A
  • an enzyme is used to phosphorylate ADP
  • occurs during glycolysis and citric acid cycle (cellular respiration)
25
Q

Explain oxidative phosphorylation

A
  • ATP is formed indirectly through a series of redox reaction
  • occurs during the Electron Transport Chain
  • the hydrogen will move back in to the matrix of the mitochondria via the ATP synthase
  • ATP synthase cuples the movement of the hydrogen with the phosphorylation of ATP
26
Q

What is the redox reaction

A

used to create protein gradient in the membrane of the mitochondria

27
Q

What does the endergonic reaction do

A

regenerate the ATP

28
Q

What does the energy from the exergonic reaction do

A

the energy come from the exergonic reaction (cellular respiration) as food is broken down
