catabolism
breakdown of large molecules into smaller ones. Energy is generally released
anabolism
synthesis of large molecules from smaller ones. Energy is generally absorbed during anabolism
enzymes in the small intestines that are involved with protein digestion
trypsin and chymotrypsin
Triacyclgercols are hydrolyzed to glycerols and fatty acids by ____ in the _____
lipases in the small intestines
amylase
enzyme involved in the hydrolysis of carbohydrates to monosaccharides
protease pepsin
begins to hydrolyze proteins to amino acids in the stomach
Stage 1 of Catabolism
Digestion
Hydrolysis of large molecules to small molecules.
Molecules then enter its own metabolic pathway to be further broken down.
During catabolism, the amino group (NH2) of a protein is converted into ____
Urea, [NH2)2C=O]
During stage two: monosaccharides, amino acids, and fatty acids are ________
degraded into acetyl groups (CH3CO-), two carbon units bonded to Coenzyme A.
Forms Acetyl CoA
Stage 3 of catabolism
Citric Acid Cycle (mitochondria). The acetyl groups of acetyl CoA are oxides to carbon dioxide. Energy is stored in the bonds of a nucleoside triphosphate and reduced coenzymes.
Stage 4 of catabolism: _______ and _____, produce ____
electron transport chain an oxidative phosphorylation produce ATP.
oxygen combines with ___ and ____ to form water.
hydrogen ions and electrons from reduced coenzymes
ATP is a nucleoside triphosphate formed by….
adding three phosphates to the 5’-OH groups of adenosine, a nucleoside composed of the sugar ribose and base adenine.
Hydrolysis of ATP cleaves….
one phosphate group, forming ADP and hydrogen phosphate (Pi).
Releases 7.4 kcal/mol of energy.
energy change for the phosphorylation of ADP is…
+7.3 Kcal/mol
energy is absorbed
Oxidizing agent
causes an oxidation reaction to occur,
oxidizing agent is reduced
Reducing Agent
causes a reduction reaction to occur,
reducing agent it oxidized.
when a coenzyme gains hydrogen atoms….
the coenzyme is reduced
Oxidizing agent
when a coenzyme loses hydrogen atoms…
the coenzyme is oxidized
Reducing agent
NAD+ reacts with two hydrogen atoms and….
gains one proton and two electrons, with one proton leftover.
NAD+ is reduced or oxidized?
reduced to form a new C-H bod in the product (NADH)
NAD+ serves as a(n) ____
oxidizing agent
NADH serves as a(n)____
reducing agent
FAD is synthesized in cells from___
B2 Riboflavin
