Energy is obtained from fuel by oxidizing it to?
CO2 & H2O
Fuel for energy?
carbohydrates, fat, and protein in the diet
Catabolism is?
those reactions that transform fuel into cellular energy
breaking down fuel into ATP
catabolic hormone?
glucagon
Catabolism three stages?
- Hydrolysis of complex molecules to their component building blocks
- Conversion of building blocks to acetyl CoA (precursor that enters TCA cycle)
• Acetyl CoA is the meeting point for all different types of molecule pathways (fat, protein) - Oxidation of acetyl CoA; oxidative phosphorylation ETC
anabolic hormone?
Insulin
Major fuel source for the brain and RBC?
glucose
major site for glucose metabolism?
liver
first step of glucose metabolism?
glycolysis
the hub of carbohydrate metabolism?
Glycolysis
-all sugars can ultimately be converted to glucose
Aerobic glycolysis takes place in cells with?
cells with a mitochondria
Anaerobic glycolysis takes place in? 2
cells with no mitochondria ie RBC,
hypoxia
where does glycolysis take place?
cytosol
Anaerobic glycolysis occurs in? 7 R T KM L C L
cells that are poorly vascularized or w/o mitochondria – RBC, testes, kidney medulla, lens, cornea, & leukocytes
What enzyme produces lactate from pyruvate?
lactate dehydrogenase
(NADH oxidized to NAD+) – reversible
What cause lactate to be formed during exercise ?
an increase in NADH production ↑ NADH/NAD+ ratio ETC can’t keep up, favors reduction of pyruvate to lactate
Lactate build up in muscles ?
decrease in pH and muscle cramps
