Chap 25 Flashcards
(42 cards)
Anabolic reactions:
.Are synthesis reactions
. Combine small molecules to make larger ones
. Require energy
What is metabolism?
All chemical oxidation reduction processes in the body
Catabolic relations:
. Breakdown reactions
. Break large molecules into 2 or more smaller ones
. Release energy
Catabolism:
- Oxidation- remove an electron (H+/H-) from a molecule
- Reduction- add an electron (H+/H-) to a molecule
Oxidation via Phosphorylation:
. Substrate level of phosphorylation
- few steps(1-2)
- few ATP created (2-4)
- does not require oxygen
Oxidative Phosphorylation:
- electron transport chain (many steps)
1. Molecules in chains-coenzymes - many ATP created (32-34)
- requires oxygen (final accepted molecule in chain)
Nutrient Metabolism:
What are carbohydrates turned into?
Glucose
Catabolism: carbohydrates-glucose
C6H12O6—- 6CO2 + 6H2O + 38ATP
Glycolysis:
Occurs throughout cytoplasm
Glucose—pyruvic acids + 2ATP
Krebs Cycle:
Pyruvate —- CO2 + NADH + FADH2 + 2ATP
1. Occurs only in mitochondria
Electron Transport:
NADH + FADH2 + (separately)—- H2O + 34ATP
Fats =
Glycerol or fatty acids
Catabolic reaction:
Lipolysis =
Triglycerides (adipose tissue) —- fatty acids and glycerol
Gluconeogenesis =
Glycerol
1. Glucose then broken down by carbohydrate pathways
Beta Oxidation
Fatty acids - Acetyl Coenzyme A
1. Allows energy into Krebs Cycle
Fat Metabolism: Anabolic Reaction
Lipogenesis =
Synthesis of triglycerides for storage in adipose tissue
- glycerol + fatty acids —- triglycerides
- excess glucose or amino acids —- triglycerides
Proteins: Catabolism
Glucogenesis =
Amino acid —- Glucose
1. Glucose then broken down via carbohydrate pathways
A). NH2 = amine group (OOH=carboxyl group)
What is deamination?
Removal of amine (NH2) group
1. Allows entry into Krebs Cycle
What is decarboxylation?
Removal of carboxyl (COOH) group
1. Allows entry into Krebs Cycle
Anabolism =
Protein Synthesis
* Amino Acids string together to form polypeptide chain
These are not metabolized directly but aid in generating particular metabolic reaction
Vitamins and Minerals
Organic molecules (contain carbon)
Vitamins
What fat soluble vitamins?
Vitamins that can be stored in body (in adipose tissue)
What are water soluble vitamins?
Vitamins that cannot be restored, must be replenished daily
